Q&A: Looking for an Oval-Shaped Diamond or an Emerald Cut Diamond for Under $6k In Total

By Mike Fried,

Need help finding a great ring. If there are any sites you could recommend that would be awesome!

Can you tell me what style of setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other), metal (platinum/white or yellow gold) and shape of diamond you’re looking for? Different settings suit certain colors better. One last question before I start the search, what’s your approximate budget?

I’m looking for a silver colored ring (white gold/platinum) solitaire or halo with a budget under 6k. I found these 2 rings on her Pinterest that may help with the style of ring.

Thank you for the information. It seems that your partner prefers gemstones over diamonds. Unfortunately, this is out of our expertise.

I recommend contacting www.leibish.com. They specialize on fancy diamonds and other gems and will gladly help you with your search. We have had great experiences with them.

I will check this site, but in the meantime could you possibly find diamonds in this style not necessarily the color? I believe she may still want a diamond.

Sure, if you still consider diamonds I’m happy to help you with the search.

I found these settings that seem quite similar to the ones your partner likes:

Blue Nile Flora Vida Halo Diamond Engagement Ring

Blue Nile Studio Emerald Vintage Fleur de Lis Halo Engagement Ring

I would like to spend under $5,000, but will finance up to $6,000.

Thank you for the information.

I found an oval stone for you:

and here is an emerald cut stone:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut/1.19-carat-g-color-if-clarity-sku-2380359?a_aid=dmnd1357

They are both very well cut and going to look colorless in the styles of setting your partner likes.

What do you think?

I like the oval cut you’ve found. Have you found any complete oval rings with a halo?
