Going back to the classics, one of the most popular engagement ring styles is the simple look of a thin band studded with round pave diamonds.

James Allen sells a number of rings each with a slightly different take on this theme. Some have a cathedral style band where the band is raised at the top of the shank near the center stone. Some have smaller pave, others larger. There are a variety of different prong styles that are matched with the setting.

James Allen’s most popular version of this style is probably their 18k White Gold .32ct French Cut Pave Diamond Engagement Ring.

In White Gold, after the TADJ10 discount, this setting costs $657. In Platinum, it is $1053 after discount.

Best Princess Cut Diamond for $30,000: 2.81 Carat G Color VS1 Clarity Ideal Cut GIA Certified Princess Cut Diamond

Ira Weissman — Sun, 23 May 2010 08:07:12 +0000

A new week, and a new daily diamond series! It seems like I’ve been receiving an unusually high number of requests for help with Princess Cut Diamonds lately, so I figured this would be a great choice to revisit in my next daily diamond series. Today, like always, we begin at the top – with a budget of $30,000 – and will work our way down slowly but surely to a budget of $1000. We kick off our new series today with a beautiful (and large!) 2.81 Carat G Color VS1 Clarity princess cut.

Here’s the Stats (Or Click Here for a Copy of the GIA Certificate):

I figured, since today is all about a new daily diamond series, and since we’re starting a whole new shape (princess cuts) after finishing a nice long series of Hearts & Arrows Ideal Cut round diamonds, why not dedicate today through and through to the Princess Cut.

So, with that, I present to you our engagement ring setting selection of the day: James Allen’s 18k White Gold 3 Stone Channel Set Princess Diamond Engagement Ring.

As you can see in the picture to the right, this setting is all about the beauty of the princess cut. The setting has 8 pave-like small princess cut diamonds channel set into the shank with two larger side-stone princess cuts creating a classic three-stone engagement ring setting look with a blinged out shank.

If your girlfriend is in love with princess cuts, this might just be the perfect setting.

After the TADJ10 discount, this setting costs $1431.

James Allen also has a large variety of engagement rings to choose from to pair with today’s daily diamond selection. One of the most popular engagement ring styles out there is the Tiffany Lucida style. James Allen has a ring style that looks very similar to the Lucida ring, but costs much less. They call it the White Gold Cross Prong Diamond Solitaire Ring.

As always with our Daily Diamond selections, today’s stone is completely clean to the naked eye.
