Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me out.
My budget is $5,500-6,500 for the diamond. I’ve been looking at two types of diamonds. Princess cut diamonds 1 carat and over. Ideal cut and vs1 or better quality. Could you recommend a diamond that’s currently available on James Allen?
Here’s a sample of what I’ve been looking at.
I’m really having a hard time selecting the clarity. si1 looks pretty low on the scale vs vvs1 and vvs2
Here is the ring I would pair it with.

Thanks in advance for any help or recommendations.
You made some excellent choices. I would go with this one for you:
Its the best cut of the lot, its eye-clean and its the cheapest. Its the winner all around.
Thanks so much for your email. I’ve made a few changes to my selection and have settled on this combo.

If there are any immediate red flags about the diamond please let me know. I saw some g-colored diamonds in this price range but found this one. Is there going to be a noticeable difference in size between .90 and a full carat? There sure is a difference in price. 🙂
You got yourself a winner. Its a fantastic diamond and well priced. I don’t think the jump to a 1ct is worth the extra money.
