HELP AGAIN.. Upped my budget around 4.5K total

[Phinsfan4life]

All... thanks to everyone who helped me in the past...

I am now looking for the best diamond/setting I can get for around $4,500 total..

I am hoping for a Round (Ideal/Expert) around .80+ct and color G-I, but willing to go J for a bigger stone as long as it's not too yellow..

I've searched Brain Gavin, James Allen, White Flash, B2C...

I'm getting so stressed and would deeply appreciate any and all help..

Thanks!!!

what's the setting she wants?

Are you sure she wants a round?

BEST options:

GOG:
Stone: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11145/
GOG can order this setting for you: http://www.stuller.com/products/122100/9137984/?groupId=119111 it should be less than your budget. Get it in X1 white gold metal or platinum, whichever fits your budget best.

WF:
Stone: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2968190.htm or http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2972981.htm
Setting: http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/search.htm?t=solitaire or they can order the same setting from Stuller above for you.

James Allen:
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.80-carat-h-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-286002
Setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/18k-white-gold-thin-cross-prong-diamond-engagement-ring-item-9005 or the same stuller as above.

Okay. Found these three 90 pointers. I'd these put this on hold IMMEDIATELY and ask for idealscope images:
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.91-carat-i-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-279593 Gorgeous and great spread. Inclusion should be prongable (hidden under a prong).

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.91-carat-i-color-si1-clarity-sku-216488 VERY nice AGS0.

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-sku-295031

With this setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/14k-white-gold-2.5mm-comfort-fit-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-8994

Also the same Stuller as above can be ordered by JA if you prefer that (I do) and you can get it in 14kt white gold VERY affordably. http://www.stuller.com/products/122100/9137984/?groupId=119111

Gypsy...

Thank you for the quick responses. I'm going to look at all those diamonds you mentioned immediately.

She has never ever told me what kind of setting she wants.

Gypsy,

I prefer to order ring/diamond from same company.

Can you please give me your opinion on theses JA settings?

http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/pave/14k-white-gold-0.32ct-french-cut-pave-diamond-engagement-ring--item-7090

http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/pave/14k-white-gold-thin-french-cut-pave-set-diamond-engagement-ring-item-7092

The both seem to be simple pave settings to me but i don't know much about rings.

Please let me know.

Thanks

I would go with.a simple solitaire if you don't. know what she wants. It has more flexibility for wedding band options. As for.Stuller... it is a brand that ANY of the jewelers including. JA can order.for you. They don't. sell to the public. So you order the stone and setting from JA. One vendor. But it is like a.secret set of settings they can get but aren't listed on thier site. Get it?
