ACA for Engagement ring

[Jack744]

I shortlisted a couple of diamonds within my budget (~5.5k) and would like any advice on them/alternatives that could work better.

All are good options. I would ask the consultants to see what they think or to take pics/video of them.

If you’re wondering why you’re not getting a bunch of advice ... It’s because you already have three awesome choices and any one of them will be a great!

All are ACAs and come with one of the best upgrade policies ... the rest is up to your preferences for colour and clarity.

Yup to be honest, the first question I'd ask is will your significant other (or yourself if for yourself) consider the 1 carat to be a mental threshold.

If you are not sure I'd lean to the 1.012 on the basis you can confidently say it's 1 carat.

However, if you think it's not an issue then as someone above said, it's really personal preference as they are all ACA.

Also consider if there is a 0.9 that is H colour as a comparison to the J colour 1.012.

My J ACA is STUNNING beyond. Shards and flashes of light. It's incomparable. And it's very white, a wee bit warm. Go for the 1ct. She'll be thrilled!

It would be between the .96 and the larger J for me. If you think* you might at all be color sensitive then go with the .96. If you know your
GF would prefer size over color go for the 1 carat J. Ask JA for images of the 3 stones together (from the top and from the side).

Full disclosure - I own two super ideal Js but dont feel that I am color sensitive.

Plus, if you do go for the 1 carat and later decide that you would like a less tinted stone, WF has a very simple upgrade policy.

Thanks for all the positive advice and affirmations! Sounds like the 1 carat is the way to go. I've reached out to WF's CS for some comparison pics, can't wait

I did ask about colour to my GF and she did mention that she's not too particular about it so I shall take a look at how different/similar they'll turn out

The 1 carat J is a great choice. There's something symbolic about 1 carat.

It's going to be amazing!
