Help me find engagement ring!

[VBE]

Looking to spend between 4-6k on an engagement ring and really get a lot of bang for my buck. Ideally it needs to be clean to the eye, roughly 1 - 1.5 carats with a ideal to excellent cut with a H-I color grade. Help me find something amazing! Also unsure what kind might look good with this but leaning towards a 14k tiffany solitaire look. Thanks

Also looking at SI1 - VS2

Edit ...just realized you didnt say which shape...I'm assuming round since you said tiffany setting?

The setting at JA runs $700 so that leaves $5300 for the stone.

Can i change anything in my request that would increase size and not cause a noticeable difference or give me more value? Also where would i go to get the diamond put in the setting?

The JA 1.13 seems to fit what you're looking for very well. To increase value, you can also look at preloved. Are you trying to hit 1.5 and thats why you want to compromise a bit?

eta - you would buy the setting + diamond from whichever site. They will mount the diamond and send it to you as a completed ring. You can also have just the diamond shipped first if you want to see it IRL.

What other settings seem to be popular?

Is 1.13 carats a good size and will it seem large?

Would you change anything about my requested specs if you could?

What are the best ways to buy diamonds and get the best prices/deals?

Any other stones that you like in that 4500-5500 range?
