Hello , I am currently shopping for a round diamond and need help finding a diamond. My budget is $1700. It will be set in a yellow gold ring with platinum prongs. Other than the cut preference (ideal) and being eye clean I am flexible on the other parameters to find the largest acceptable diamond for the budget. Hope you can help me find a diamond online.
Just one question before I start the search, the budget you wrote is for the whole ring or diamond only?
Actually total budget for a diamond with setting is about 2000-2300 to allow for differences in setting prices. Again the ring should be yellow gold.
Thank you for the information.
I found the following diamond for you:
It’s a very well cut,eye-clean diamond that’s going to appear colorless in the setting you like.
Let me know what you think.
I like this one. What would you suggest in terms of the setting? 14k or 18k? I was looking at the yellow gold presentation solitaire six prong.
I’m happy you like it.
As for the metal, we recommend 14k gold since it’s more durable and resistant to tarnishes than 18k gold. 6 prong setting is perfect. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/platinum-vs-gold/
