I’m looking to get an engagement ring and have a budget $8-$10k. I’m just getting started in the process, but also plan to propose in the next couple of months. I don’t really know how to start going about finding a ring and was hoping you had some ideas on how to get started?
I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What shape diamond and what type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.
Thanks for the quick reply.
So the setting I was thinking of was this one https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/platinum-2mm-comfort-fit-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-1981?a_aid=dmnd1357
Let me know what else you need from me and thanks so much for the help!
No worries. Did you want a round diamond?
Yeah I was looking for a round diamond
