Q&A: Looking for a Round Diamond for a White Gold Pave Setting Within a $5,000 Budget

By Mike Fried,

Hi, I am looking for a ring that has the same setting as Tiffany Novo. I am looking for skinny pave band with cathedral, low-set center diamond like Tiffany Novo. My budget is around $5000. Please let me know if you can help me find this setting and a diamond online. Thank you! 

Can you check the following setting and tell me if you like it?

Can you also write me what shape of diamond and metal (platinum/ white or yellow gold) you are going to use? Then I’ll be happy to find a diamond for you. It can slightly affect the color of the diamond. 

I want a round cut diamond hopefully around or close to 1 carat, on a white gold metal. My size is 6. I do like the setting you picked 🙂 Thank you for your help! 

I’m happy you like the setting.

I found this diamond for you:

This is an eye-clean stone with the highest carat weight I could find for your budget. But the difference in measurements between the 0.92 carat and 1 carat diamond won’t be that significant due to the way it’s cut. It’s a very well cut diamond that will appear with high brilliance and fire.

Let me know what you think. 

I contacted you a month ago to help me find a diamond. My fiance actually ended up buying the engagement ring with his account and I wanted to give you his email address: […]. He picked the diamond you recommended and proposed yesterday and it is beautiful! I appreciate your help with the process. Thank you! 

It’s nice to hear from you again. Thank you for your email.

I’m happy to hear that you like the diamond we picked so much. We wish you and your partner a life of happiness and fullfilment.
