Q: Hi Ira, I’m planning to propose in a week and I need your help to find the largest eye clear round cut diamond for $1800 or less. I’ve looked at a few on jamesallen.com but haven’t been able to determine if they are eye clear from the virtual loop images. Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Same Diamond as Above, Zoomed Out

also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond.  When searching for an setting to match with a 3/4 carat diamond, you want something that’s going to add some “flash” for not too much “cash,” but you also don’t want to overshadow the diamond with too much action around and behind the stone.  I think ’s 18k White Gold 2.6mm Six Prong Pave Set Engagement Ring exemplifies this delicate balance.  The pave stones set in the shank add much extra sparkle, yet they don’t over power a 3/4 carat diamond.

As with yesterday’s selection, today’s eye clean diamond is a perfect example of the kind of quality you can still get even dropping down to an graded diamond.  Today’s diamond is just as clean to the naked eye as a VVS1 clarity diamond and a fraction of the cost.
