The $2,000 price point seemed to be real popular with our post of a princess cut last week, so we figured we’d show a beautiful round diamond in that range. As you may have read in our Hearts On Fire review, Brian Gavin’s Signature is a great find for those of you who are looking for the best cut and most brilliant diamond you can find. This is a perfect 0.61ct one. You can see the gorgeous set of hearts and arrows (click here for the image) on the diamond. Its eye-clean and an excellent value.

Q&A: Round “.75 ideal cut that will sparkle the most”
Posted by: | CommentsQ: Firstly, thank you for putting together this website and service, great stuff. I am looking to purchase an engagement ring to best emulate this I saw in a retail store:
http://www.birks.com/en/featured/Engagement/Solitaire-Diamond-Rings/g64-712/5000022078
My girlfriend’s expectations have been set already to be very happy with a .75 carat, I would like to find the cheapest option for an eye clean .75-.8 ideal cut round diamond ’I’ color or higher (I could notice the difference with a J or lower and I think I may be slightly color blind.) Also, she prefers white gold so I think ’I’ color or higher is best. Her friend recently got engaged and received a 1 carat diamond ring but it looked cloudy and did not sparkle, I would prefer to go with .75 ideal cut that will sparkle the most.
If you could help me find the cheapest option with those criteria that would be great; if you think a flaw could definitely be covered 100% by a prong I could go for that. I totally understand that this is not an investment, but an expensive piece of enjoyment. I don’t want to get a non-certified ring with clarity enhancement, that could be considered fake by her, but if she will never see a flaw then it doesn’t matter to me.
I would like to propose mid to end of this month, May, I have been working overtime everyday to pay for the ring so I can’t answer my phone much, if you could contact me back by email I would appreciate it greatly.
Thank you in advance Read More→

Q&A: Looking for Round Diamond for Setting with Sapphire Side Stones
Posted by: | CommentsQ: Thanks for the great website. There is a lot of useful information here. I guess I’ll get to the point:
I’m looking to purchase an egagement ring within 2 to 4 weeks. My budget is $3,000 to $4,000 total, and I’m thinking about this setting in yellow gold (or the six-prong version):
http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/18k-White-Gold-2-2mm-Wire-Basket-Solitaire.html
Given what that costs, I have 2500-3400 or so for the stone. I’m totally not confident in choosing a diamond, so I’m coming to you for help. After some searches, I found this stone, but I’d really appreciate some suggestions:

Q&A: 1 Carat Princess or Round Cut Diamond for $5K Budget
Posted by: | CommentsQ: I apologize if you have received a message from me, my internet dies when I hit submit so I am not sure.
I am looking to purchase a minimum 1 carat princess or round cut diamond. My budget is a little over $5,000 and I would prefer Zales or James Allen as they have the settings I am most looking for, although I am more than willing to look elsewhere for better quality. I am not an expert by any means on color or quantity as all I have learned was based on your web site.
I have been looking for a few weeks, and learned that I know nothing and it’s best off to adhere to recommendations.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Also I am looking to purchase the ring by April 15th.
Please let me know if there is any additional information you need.
Thank you for your web site and thank you in advance for your assistance. Read More→
