Hello and thank you in advance for your help. I am looking for a 2+ carat eye clean round brilliant diamond in the $20000.00 range. I would like to use a platinum setting similar to this
Blue Nile Hand Engraved Solitaire Engagement Ring, although I didn’t see this on James Allen’s sight, not sure if they can supply.
Thanks!
James Allen is a far better option, but sometimes they don’t have the setting people want. However, there are plenty of other options before BN. We are really not fans of Blue Nile.
I would suggest checking out the settings from these sites (I have them listed in order of preference):
www.since1910.com
www.ritani.com
If you see something you like, I’d be happy to pick a diamond out for you.
Thank you for your reply. Based on the information I got from your website and customer’s reviews, I think I want to use James Allen. I’m sure I can find a setting there that will work. I plan on using a platinum solitaire setting. Can you recommend something based on that info? I was hoping to have this done before next weekend as we are going to be on vacation.
I’d recommend these for you:
What do you think of these?
Thank you for your response. After realizing I wasn’t going to make my deadline, I slowed down somewhat.
It appears to me the 2.09 carat is a lot brighter than the 2.17? Do you see anything else in my price range, give or take a few thousand, that jumps out at you? My main concern is eye clean and brightness.
Again I appreciate your time.
I really like the 2.09. That is why I picked it. Anything else I’d recommend would be a worse choice. I don’t like steering you the wrong way. If there was a particular issue with it, I’d address that.
