Q: Hello, First – I think your site is great. Very good information and non of the marketing ploys. Keep up the good work. On to the situation. My girlfriend is leaning towards a yellow diamond as the primary stone surrounded by white diamonds, similar to an antique style. She has mentioned that “fancy” diamonds are not necessary but still would like some color – possibly in the X,Y,Z category. So I have two questions / dilemmas. Fist, are there any downsides at doing a two tone setup such as this? I have not seen many two tone engagement rings out there and am partially worried that it may come back to haunt us. I know this is some what a personal opinion but I value your expertise. Second, if going in that direction I have not found many retailers that carry non-fancy colored stones. Do you have any recommendations on where / who to look for these types of stones.

Q. Ira, I am currently shopping for an engagement ring and got in touch with a jeweler in the diamond district in New York. He was recommended by a friend and seems like his prices are reasonable. He has suggested one stone which was a little more expensive than I was looking for, but claims it has a very attractive cut. I have pasted his comments below. I am hoping for an independent perspective on his comments and if this one is worth the additional cost. “I looked through all of my diamonds. I have one which weighs 2.05 carats. It is a very fine cut, “H” color, clarity “VS2″. It is more expensive than the approximate price I quoted you- the price is $16,000. It is a really beautiful cut. The table is 68%, the depth is 67.9%. I do have some which are less expensive but I know that you are concerned about the cut. The others were either less deep (about 64%) or cut deeper (69.5%) and the tables were not as fine. The price was about $1,000 less- about $15,000.” Thanks for your help in advance

As you might know by now, I love hearing from my readers.  One of the most common comments I get from people shopping for engagement rings is that their overriding concern is that they want to buy something .  Usually, this takes the form of asking about less common shapes (I just got an email from a reader wanting to buy a trilliant shape for a solitaire engagement ring!) or asking about the most ring designs.

Most people don’t realize that the best way to buy something utterly is to buy a diamond.  I say utterly because you’d be hard pressed to ever find two diamonds anywhere that are identical.  Let alone the fact that you probably won’t ever find another person wearing a diamond ring.  I think most people don’t realize that diamonds are a great option simply because they either aren’t aware at all about diamonds, or because they didn’t realize that you can buy many beautiful diamonds (especially yellow diamonds) for pretty much the same price as you would a high quality white diamond of the same size.
