Hi! I would appreciate a lot your advice, I’m looking for a .75 – 1 princess cut diamond, my max budget is $2500.00 (just for the diamond).
For the setting I am considering a simple elegant design in 14K white gold (I was considering platinum but based on what I red from your “Precious Jewelry Metals” article I’m choosing 14k white gold instead). At this moment I’m leaning towards the following setting:
I’m interested in getting the most value for my money, as I mentioned before my budget for the diamond is $2,500 but if a diamond offers exceptional value is a little bit above that threshold I might be able to consider it seriously.
Thanks a lot for the information you provide to us in your articles, it’s been pretty helpful.
I’d be happy to help. Here are my recommendations:

I really like these for you. The cuts are superb and they will look great in that setting. What do you think?
Thanks for your prompt response.
I like the options that you provided me, they are well within my budget; at the same time, could I please ask you to compare them vs 2 options I was considering before?
