Following yesterday’s selection of the best princess cut diamond for $19,000, today we present you with the best princess cut diamond for $17,000. I first looked for a stone for $18,000, but I couldn’t find anything as nice as today’s selection for $17,000. Today’s stone is truly something special. It’s quite evident from the certificate details that this stone was made by a true artisan who took a perfectionists approach to polishing this stone. This stone has several features (perfect square, Ex/Ex, perfect table and depth%) that are rare enough to find by themselves – but this stone has them all together which makes this stone uniquely rare and special.

James Allen Engagement Ring
James Allen (as most other online diamond vendors) shows most of their rings by default set with a round diamond. The reason is clear – the majority of consumers want a round diamond, so it just makes sense to show the rings by default with a round diamond. On occasion, though, there are some rings that just look like they were made for a princess cut diamond even though they can easily accomodate a round brilliant cut diamond (or any other shape for that matter).
Today’s suggested ring is one such setting. James Allen’s 18k White Gold Channel Set Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring has a small pave size princess cut diamonds channel set right into the shank. These stones provide a beautiful build up to a towering princess cut diamond center stone.
In White Gold, after the TADJ10 discount, this setting costs $1147.50. In Platinum, it is $1395 after discount.

One of James Allen’s most popular ring styles is their White Gold Cross Prong Diamond Solitaire Ring. I believe it’s such a popular style because it has a very average width which fits most fingers (it’s not too narrow and not too wide). Plus, the cross prong design offers a bit of uniqueness without getting too wild looking.
So if you like this basic design, but you’d like to crank it up a notch and throw in a bit of bling as well, then you should try their 18k White Gold Cross Prong Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Ring. This ring design offers the same classic look as the solitaire version mentioned above, but with 3 accent princess cut diamonds on either side of the shank. This provides the perfect little burst of light if you’re looking for that little something extra.

One of the most common engagement ring styles these days is the pave “halo” style e-ring. The typical halo engagement ring setting features a pave studded frame that hugs the contour of the center stone. This look is great for two reasons.
Firstly, it instantly adds about 3 millimeters to the diameter of the diamond. This might not sound like a lot, but consider that a 1 carat round diamond is about 6.3-6.5mm across and a 3 carat round diamond is about 9mm across. That’s quite an upgrade in size!
Secondly, the pave halo look adds a beautiful ring of sparkle filled “bling” around the center stone. It’s like shinning a spotlight on your center stone.
James Allen has a number of halo styles for different diamond shapes (obviously, because the halo fits the contour of the diamond, each setting is unique to a different shape of diamond). The one I selected today is just one of several that James Allen has available for round diamonds. The style today is the following: 18k White Gold Pave ME29 by Danhov Designer Eternity Engagement Ring.
