Best Round Brilliant Diamond for $3,000: 0.80 Carats, I Color, SI1 Clarity, GIA Certified Excellent Cut

This is great deal for a princess cut. I was looking at 0.90 ct ‘I’ color diamonds. Base on the dimensions, they were virtually identical in size. Here you get a brighter diamond and it is 20% cheaper then the 0.90s I saw.

Q&A: Seeking Best Princess Cut Diamond for $3K Budget

Posted by: DU | Comments (0)

Q: I greatly appreciate the info that you have provided on your website. Had I not found your site, I probably would have purchase an engagement ring site unseen. James Allen’s virtual loupe adds a ton of value, but I still need you help ensuring that I am getting the most bang for my buck. My ”buck” is around $3500 including the ring which I estimate for a 2mm white gold ring is around $500(although if I could save some money on the diamond, I wouldn’t mind upgrading to that French Cut Pave Diamond ring on James Allen’s site. Do you like this ring?). This puts me roughly in the 1ct, color I, VS2-SL1 range for a princess cut stone. She has a size 6 ring finger. How do you recommend I proceed from here? You help would be greatly appreciated.

Posted by: DU | Comments (0)

Q: Would you be able to help me source a stone 0.90 -1.00ct, colour H-K, ideal cut.
I’m helping my sister’s fiance find a stone within a reasonable budget. Maybe 2.5-3.5k. The ring will be custom made with two tones of gold, white and yellow.

I was having a browse in jamesallen and these are the stones I came up with.

I’ve only really looked at K colour. Do you think it’ll be fine? Will it show it much?

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&A: Best Oval Diamond for Under $3K

Posted by: DU | 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!
