Q: Hi, what a great site! OK, I am looking to buy a replacement engagement ring. The original ring is no more because the diamond fell out about a year ago, not to be found. Although I could afford much more, my bride would kill me even if she knew I spent my proposed budget.

Notionally, my budget for rock and ring is about $2500. The ring would probably be a solitaire 4 or 6 prong, white gold. That said, I can see a budget of $2000 for the diamond. Based on my reading at this site, current thinking is:

round, near colorless, eye clean. I’d like to get the biggest decent diamond for the budget, and I look to you for any advice you could offer with the above in mind. I saw some data about how price between say .69 and .7 can be a big step, so any of my initial specs are open to your guidance, including a small bump in budget.

Thanks so much for this.

This is a great diamond on a budget.  The cut on this diamond is beautiful, and the inclusions are a faint grey, so they will be eye-clean.  The faint fluorescence is an olive in the martini (just a little bonus).

Q: I am a huge fan of your site both for useful information and a good laugh or two when the diamond searching has got me down. I am looking to get ready make the plunge here in the next month or so and have been looking for the perfect diamond to pop the question with.

That being said, I am a normal person and am on a tight budget. I’m looking for the best round brilliant cut diamond that I can get for $1500. I have been trying to find something in the G-H color range, eye clean up to VS1 clarity, preferably an ideal cut and a size around .70 ct (up to .75 ct max). I don’t have a problem with fluorescence up to medium and am really just trying to get the most impressive stone I can and stay on my budget.

This is the link to the wedding set that I plan on putting it into.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. You’re site has already opened my eyes to so many realities that I wouldn’t have gotten from anywhere else (especially not the industry that is trying to keep the wool over my eyes!).

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Q&A: Best Oval Diamond for Under $3K

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Q: Hello, I have been looking extensively for an oval diamond around .7-.8 ct and then I came across your site. I am looking for the best bang for under $3k. I value the quality of the diamond much more so than the size.

F or better

VS2 or better (unless an SI1 has no visible things)

Most sites I have been looking at premium/very good to ideal cuts

From what I have read, symmetry of good or better is fine as this isn’t even noticeable to the human eye?

I have been looking for a polish of very good to excellent (is there a noticeable difference to the human eye between good through excellent?)

And now after reading your site, sounds like I want to stick with a fluorescence of faint to none.

Thanks!

I really like this diamond.  The feather inclusion is almost impossible to see even with the magnified photo and the cut of the diamond will have maximum fire and brilliance.  The faint fluorescence is also a plus (it should lighten up the diamond a shade).
