Q: Ira,
Your site is excellent!! Plan on doing an online diamond purchase (Blue Nile or James Allen). Not huge $$$, but I am totally obsessed with finding some value out there! And its seems your the guy. So here’s an easy one:
Total budget 9k (USD) for the stone (keeps me around 10k all in)
Parameters: Round. Thats it.
After reading every article you’ve written, I’m cutting you loose. Find me a stone 
summon all your creative powers and make my future wife smile!
As per your writings, color can be low, clarity is hit or miss, carats don’t tell the whole tale. So I don’t want to curtail you. Take some chances, I implore you. Looking for a hidden gem that might escape a less discerning eye. I’m not a stickler for ”grades” and I don’t care what its assessed value is,and don’t mind a singular large flaw that makes an otherwise unaffordable diamond within reach. Just hoping to find a stone that has ”bang for the buck”
(and if you have anything offline available I’d pay the 10% gladly if you made it an offer I can’t refuse, though I understand my purchase price isn’t heavy enough to have you sorting through the whole of Israel)
Thanks for in advance for anything you can do,

If what you’re looking to accomplish with your purchase of an engagement ring is uniqueness, then sometimes you need to think outside the box. There are definitely a fixed number of style groups when it comes to engagement rings. You have tapered baguette side stones, pave halo, pave on the shank, solitaire, etc. But aside from these easily categorized style groups, you occasionally have styles that are so unique they defy classification. Today’s ring is once such design.
Today’s selection features a double shank that is slightly split just before it reaches the basket at the top of the ring. Surrounding the basket is a artfully woven strip of gold studded with ideal cut pave stones. This creates a fiery pave style look but with the added beauty of this uniquely artistic design.
You can view the ring on JamesAllen.com here: 18k White Gold Pave Frame Split Shank Engagement Ring.

Q: Hi- I have discovered your site and am intrigued. I’m hoping to buy an engagement ring within the next month, quicker if possible. My budget is between 10K and 12K for the ring and the band. I was hoping to get a center diamond of approximately 1.5 carets for this price. Do you think this is possible? Do you have any specific diamonds you recommend? I think I have a band picked out and have used your diamond locator, but it’s tough to find the perfect one. Also, I thought I saw something about getting a discount through James Allen if I ordered through your site, how does that work? Let me know what you think. Not sure how this works, but am free anytime to talk on the phone or by email if you have any free time. Thanks
