I am trying to help my son find a fancy yellow oval or cushion cut stone for his fiancé. Between three and four carats. I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks.
I’d be happy to help you. Can you please give me his ballpark figure of what he’s looking to spend, so I know where to search and what color intensity will be the best?
My son wants to purchase either an oval or cushion cut fancy yellow diamond for his fiance. He would like to find one that is between three and four carats and his budget tops out at $30,000. The ring that she loves is Heidi Klum’s engagement ring. Obviously, this one is huge but she likes the simplicity of the setting. The description of this ring says it is oval but is looks almost like a cushion cut to me. I have been looking at stones at James Allen and will send you the links to those stones. I want him to be sure that he is getting good value for such a large purchase, obviously. Will forward those to you in a separate email and will appreciate any recommendations you can make about the stones or others you may know of.
Many thanks!

What do you think of this stone? How much negotiating room is there with a company like James Allen?

Thanks.
You found the best option possible. I really like that the color is “fancy yellow.” Because color is one of the most important (and valuable) aspects in yellow stones, it’s great that you found a diamond with this intensity. usually, they are much weaker at this carat weight and price. I was searching some more but couldn’t find anything better.
