James Allen Engagement Ring
Some of you might be wondering why I selected a stone for my “Daily Diamond” selection today that has a noticeable black inclusion in the table of the diamond. It’s a fair question.
And here’s my answer: I’m 95% sure that this small black inclusion will not be visible to your naked eye. Furthermore, it’s not every day that a nice large princess cut diamond is an SI2, eye clean, and has a killer cut. This stone satisfies all three, so I just couldn’t pass it up.
Now on to the setting. I’ve had a large number of readers recently ask me about this setting, so I’m taking this as a sign that this is a very popular setting these days. Most of those who asked about this setting are, in fact, matching it with a princess cut diamond, so I figured it would make the perfect match to today’s daily diamond selection.
This setting, the 18k White Gold Channel Set Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring on James Allen, has 24 pave sized channel set princess cut diamonds weighing a total of 0.60 carats.
The ring costs $1275 in White Gold ($1147.50 after applying the TADJ10 discount) and $1550 in Platinum ($1395 after the TADJ10 discount code).
In White Gold, after the TADJ10 discount, this setting costs $657. In Platinum, it is $1053 after discount.

You might have noticed during my current daily diamond series of the best Hearts & Arrows Ideal Cut round diamonds for various budgets that I’ve also tried to highlight a different style concept in engagement rings each day. Today I will try to continue this pattern.
Another style that I love is where the shank of the engagement ring is studded with small side stones that are larger than typical pave diamonds. Most pave diamonds are about 0.01 carat. The side diamonds of today’s ring are 0.05 carat each. 0.05 carat diamonds are usually about 2.4mm across while 0.01 carat diamonds are approximately 1.35mm across. The difference is quite significant and truly changes the look of the ring. In the industry, pave-size diamonds are referred to as “stars” while diamonds between 0.02ct and 0.07ct are referred to as “full cuts.”
James Allen has several rings with side diamonds of this size. My personal favorite among their selection is their 18k White Gold Common Prong Ten Briliiant Diamond Engagement Ring.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. If you really want to make this large diamond look huge on your fiance’s finger, then pair it with an engagement ring that is as simple as possible with as narrow of a shank as possible. Having this large two and a quarter carat Round Brilliant diamond sit on top of a ring such as James Allen’s 2mm Knife Edge 18k White Gold Solitaire Ring will truly make it look giant.
As mentioned in yesterday’s daily diamond selection, if you’re having a hard time believing a stone like this can be clean to the naked eye, have a look at the zoomed-out version of the picture above. Depending on your screen resolution, this pic is probably still about twice as large as the actual size of the diamond. Can you see any inclusions now?
