Interested in a particular ring setting from Jamesallen.com. Here is a link to the ring itself. https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/settings-with-sidestones/18kt-White-Gold-3-Stone-Pave-Set-Engagement-Ring.html
For a center stone we have a loose budget of up to $2000. I have read all of your articles and have spent some time looking at many of Jamesallen’s selections.
Here are a few I have found that are a good start.

What are your thoughts? We want princess cut, under 1ct.,eye clean, and obviously a good value for our money. Please take a minute to look and provide a suggestion.
Thanks for writing and thanks for the kind words about the site!
I looked at these four stones, and here’s what I think:
1) Reject the 0.72 because it’s IGI certified. No telling what it really is.
2) Of the remaining 3, the H VS2 has the best cut and the best price, so it’s really a no brainer 🙂
Let me know what you think!
I thought the same. Did you see anything else on their site that fits my requirements?
BTW: your site has been invaluable. I read every word. Thanks, though you hear that a lot I’m sure.
Just looked – the H VS2 definitely looks to be your best option!
