Advice on setting for engagement ring

[jjspierx]

I have been researching diamonds and settings for several weeks now and am days away from purchasing an engagement ring. A few weeks ago I knew nothing about diamonds or settings, but thanks to the internet, and Pricescope, I feel pretty comfortable with my knowledge about diamonds to make a good decision. I am less confident however with my knowledge of settings however, especially when it comes to quality of a setting.

I am fairly sure I will be ordering from B2C Jewels. I am looking at a GIA certified diamond with the following specs:

Carat WT: 0.80
Cut: Excellent
Color: I
Clarity: SI2
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent

The setting I am looking at is also from B2C Jewels:

Stock No: ASAJ0435
http://www.b2cjewels.com/Diamond-Accent-Settings/Cathedral-Diamond-Accent-Engagement-Ring-14K-White-Gold-8250-1.aspx

I really like the look of the setting. I think it looks very classic, simple, and elegant, but with just the right amount of flair to it. I love the cathedral setting, and the 4 small diamonds under under the basket that aren't visible from the top view.

What I am concerned about is the quality of the setting. It is priced at $449.00 which I should be grateful for, because all of the other settings I have been interested in were significantly more expensive than this one. Should I be concerned about the quality of this setting from B2C Jewels because of the low price point, or should I feel lucky I found the setting I want and it happens to be at a cheap price point? The prongs are 14k white gold, should I concerned about gold for the prongs, will it keep the diamond secure?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hello JJ - My DD just picked up a very inexpensive setting for my engagement ring and I LOVE it. Nothing ventured/nothing gained. If they have a return policy you can always order it and if you don't like it, send it back. It looks pretty in the picture!

I think it's a very pretty solitaire. B2C has a decent return policy so if you aren't happy you could return it, but I think it will be just fine. Ask them if the head can be changed to platinum, either now or in the future.

I think Setting is beautiful & they provide 30 days return policy, the company has some extraordinary deals on Diamonds and Jewelry, I would say you could consider yourself lucky
