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.

James Allen Engagement Ring
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.

Q&A: Searching for the Best Cushion Cut Diamond for $3000
Posted by: | CommentsQ: Greetings Ira, First, I must write that your site is a must-read for any diamond shopper! Having this wealth of information and your expertise all in one place is such a help – wish I had come across your site before I was already a month into my diamond search! I am looking for a cushion-cut stone, eye-clean, and had narrowed down my list between stones on James Allen and Blue Nile before I came across your site. I have a $3,000 budget for the stone. Below are links to a few of the stones on my short list:

My bride-to-be has mentioned to friends that she prefers a square-shape, so I’ve been limiting my search to stones with ratios of 1.00 – 1.05. Also, I was able to find out through a friend that she loves this setting from James Allen:
For her, fire and brilliance are more important than stone size, although I would like to find her a 3/4 stone or greater. Am I on the right track with the stones already on my list, or do you see a stone or two out there that might be a better fit for what I’m looking for? Thanks for all your help! We gentlemen certainly have a tall order when it comes to finding that one stone she’ll love – your site eliminates much of the confusion that comes with the search. Kudos to you!
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.

James Allen Engagement Ring
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.
