Deciding between these two:

and

https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VVS1-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1464793.asp

Thoughts? How much of a difference is the ideal cut going to make? I’ll be putting this in a platinum solitaire setting and I hope to order tomorrow.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response – I was actually about to buy this one, but it is a bit more money. I’m assuming you would not think it is worth it for me?

…….

Or is there anything bigger that you like that is ~$4500?

Thanks, I actually bought the one you sent me yesterday and I do believe it will be a great value. You saved me over $500!! Of you see any that are bigger in size (.9 ct or larger) for under $5k please let me know as I am willing to spend more, but needed to submit the order ASAP.

I will – thanks again!

The ring came and it is beautiful! It sparkles brilliantly! She is very, very happy with it. I will be sure to spread the word about your site and the very friendly help that I received.

I was also very impressed with the customer service and quality of James Allen. Good business.

Thanks again!!

I will certainly do that for you. I was wondering – could you do a quick search on James Allen to see if you could find something for me a little bigger than what I have now? This is what I got, per your recommendation: https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1514155.asp

If there was something comparable that was a little bigger for ~$4500 I’d be willing to do an upgrade.

That one does look very nice, but I don’t think it is worth the extra cost for not much more weight. Thanks again, I’ll write up a very positive review for you as soon as I can!
