Currently hunting for a diamond for an engagement ring. I've already worked with WF in the past, but I also recently discovered HPD and I'm open to dealing with other sources if someone wants to recommend something.
Budget
Trying to keep the diamond in the ~$3k area with either a pave or solitaire ring in white gold between $800-1200. I have a few examples of what I've found so far that caught my eye (including one ring example as well).

Diamond-wise I was originally hunting for an ideal cut J+ eye-clean SI1+ at the largest carat I could find from either WF or HPD, but quick searches yield limited results due to my lower budget.
Current Ring Contenders
18k White Gold
Legato Micro Pave Diamond Engagement Ring ($1,134)

The ring can come from anywhere I just happened to enjoy the settings on WF vs. HPD.
Any help, questions, or concerns are very much welcome!
