Hello everyone,

I've been checking out this website for several weeks now. After a bad experience at a brick & mortar store, I have decided to buy my diamond online and then have a custom setting made at a local jeweler. While I have done a ton (what I think) of research, I am hoping you guys could help confirm the direction I am going or orient me in the right direction. I found several diamonds on James Allen that I like that I was going to have the ASET's done for. With that information, I was going to compare them to the Enchanted one's below. Please let me know what you think and if I should go a different direction. I am trying to keep the cost below 6700 for the diamond. Thanks for all the help.

2. 5400 https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.20-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-sku-409726
3. 5600 https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.23-carat-h-color-vs1-clarity-sku-2610700
4. 6050 https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.21-carat-h-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-2664769
5. 6150 https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.20-carat-g-color-vs2-clarity-sku-2453198
6. 6350 https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.40-carat-i-color-si1-clarity-sku-2661311

Have ASET's done for 1, 3, and 6.

2. 6710 https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/C140-01Z456430?
3. 6770 https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/C140-189859381?
4. 6910 https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/C130-017369610?

Number 3 looks the best to me of these four.

ugh.. my post is gone.

These are the same stone. No leakage, small table, lovely appearance, 1.4c. My choice.

2 and 4 from Enchanted are good as well, especially the H VS1, if you want to upgrade color and clarity and stretch your budget

Dont know what happend to your post fpig...but ditto. Same stone and I like it. Make sure it is eye
clean (just because its an SI1). I assume you have it on hold at JA...was wondering what there cost was?

I guess ditto ac117 too...looks like we all agree.

Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation. In your opinion, is it worthwhile to go up to a H but down in overall size for the extra money? This is assuming the I SI1 is eye-clean. If it isn't then, the answer to me is yes. The diamond will be set in white gold with pink sapphires as side stones (most likely).

The difference btw H and I is so minimal that I'd personally prefer size since cushions face up small as it is.
