Q&A: Best $2000 Princess Cut and How to Avoid Sales Tax

Posted by: Ira Weissman | Comments (0)

Q: Hi Ira, I’ve been looking at your site for many months now so first of all I’d like to thank you for explaining what to look for in a diamond in such a clear yet thorough way. I appreciate that you must be a very busy man but 2 minutes of your time would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to buy an engagement ring for about $3000 ($1000 for the platinum setting and ~$2000 for the princess cut diamond). I spotted this (and it turns out so did you). I’ve asked JA whether it is eye clean or not and I’m waiting for their reply.http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-SI1-Premium-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1277345.asp?a_aid=dmnd1357 I also spotted this which looks like a good I1. But the bottom left corner concerns me – is that an inclusion there that might be susceptible to breaking off? Otherwise I think it appears to be an excellent find for the price. http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/F-I1-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1240349.asp?a_aid=dmnd1357 Your views would be really appreciated.

James Allen also has a great selection of engagement rings to choose from to match with this diamond. If you’d like a setting that’s both svelte and elegantly simple with some pave accents, you might like to try James Allen’s 18k White Gold 0.30ctw Common Prong Diamond Engagement Ring. This ring is a great way to show off this ideal cut round brilliant diamond.

Today’s diamond is really the perfect example of why I decided to do a daily diamond series of selections of specifically I1 clarity diamonds. Take a look at the zoomed out photo to the left. That picture is still significantly larger than the actual size of the diamond, and it’s still completely clean to the naked eye. Other than the very small black crystal on the top left in the picture, there’s a very faint feather that’s so faint it’ll be completely invisible to the naked eye.
