Q&A: Round Brilliant White Gold Solitaire for $1500-2K Budget

By Mike Fried,

I want a white gold, round brilliant cut solitaire, my sister got a engagement ring and i love it, is pretty simple just white gold and the diamond… her is a princess cut but i was thinking getting a round … i also wanted your opinion on that… my budget is between 1500$ – 2000$

thanks for taking the time to help me!

A round diamond will be fabulous. Keep in mind that round diamonds look far larger than princess cuts for a given weight (check out our post on diamond size). Check out these diamonds:

I really like these diamonds. They are bright, eye-clean and a great value.

thank you for the links! i definitely want to buy one of those but have one more question about jamesallen… is it safe to buy from that page?

thanks!

I can tell you that we have more than 100 readers a month who have purchased from JA. In the 15 months I’ve been referring readers to them I have never had a bad experience.

thank you for the quick response!

but i trust you cause i know nothing about diamonds or where to buy them as i told you before… so i definitely going to buy one of those two you show me… the only thing i got left is to figured out my gf ring size =$

also i read gia is the best certificate… or somtehing like that no idea but read gia is the best dont know if that’s true…

thank you for your time!

…….

sorry to bother you AGAIN! but i was about to make the purchase and didnt know that it was the price for the diamond itself without ring =$ so its impossible for me to to buy it if it goes over 2000$

so looking at the links you send i search another one but between .6 carat and a .5 so that way i can pay the ring too. but by looking at the pic I dont know if is a good one or not? any advice please
