Hi everyone. I began posting for advice on buying diamonds online and settings to get for my future engagement ring. (My boyfriend just received the ring, so I'm just waiting for him to officially pop the question).

With your help, we decided to purchase from Whiteflash. I am extremely pleased with their amazing customer service and the very high quality!!! I don't think I could find a similar diamond around my town if I tried.

I decided instead of a pavé setting that I originally wanted, to get a plain band. I plan on blinging it up with a diamond wedding band in the future. My boyfriend was able to get a bigger diamond due to this and many of you encouraged me that this was the right decision.

Also, to bring down the cost a bit, we went with a J colored diamond. I used this forum to research J diamonds and felt that the diamond would still look white enough to me, especially with such an exceptional cut from Whiteflash. Whiteflash sent me a pretty unflattering picture of the diamond once it was set, so I was worrying so much in anticipation of seeing it in person. It looked very yellow since they placed it in front of a red background but I am happy to say that I worried for nothing! The diamond is so gorgeous. It's so white and bright and fiery!!

Even though the ring isn't quite "mine" yet, I wanted to share the pics of it with you all!!! Thank you for all of your input!!

Here are the specs: 1.498 carats (pretty much 1.5 right?) J VS2 Ideal cut. Size 6 finger, although my finger looks a little meaty in pictures, I am a true size 6!

Here is the link to the diamond for more info if you want:

Thank you to this forum and all of you that willingly shared your advice and expertise with me!! I never would've gotten a diamond like this without all if the valuable knowledge I gained with all of your help! Hope you enjoy the eye candy. Hope it'll permanently be on my finger soon!

Thanks everyone! Daisyoz, I ended up going with their "Fine Line" setting in 18k white gold. I love it! I think the band is the perfect width for me and the height of the stone is at a perfect height. And I really admire the basket style.

Thanks everyone!! Congratulations aren't quite in order yet since the ring is now tucked away safely in its box until he proposes officially but I appreciate it immensely. Hoping it will happen soon.

Here are a few more angles for you all. The warmth is certainly visible from the side but that's because I know what to look for. Most people probably won't notice it because they won't be looking for it. And if they do, that's fine, because I just love this diamond and I love the value that it provided! We had been considering an I color that was the same size, an ACA but a grade down in clarity and it was $3000 more. We also considered a similar H that was $4000 more. My boyfriend almost purchased one of these other two but I couldn't justify spending that much more on something that wasn't drastically different. Face up they would've looked exactly the same. From the side I do notice the slight warmth but I call it "personality"'

Very pretty, love the setting. What type of band will you be wearing with it?

I'd love to pair it with the look of an eternity band, but without diamonds all the way around. Somewhere between 4 and 8 pointers. I like the look of shared prong bands or maybe U prong. Not sure yet, but I know I want more bling in the band! Thanks for asking!
