Hello all,
I've been browsing this forum for a while and think I am finally ready to buy a ring. My girlfriend and I have talked about the styles of rings she likes and I think I've decided that I will be purchasing this James Allen pave engagement ring in rose gold.

Now I'm running into a couple of things, however:
First- I've been looking at this ring for I guess around a month now and it's been listed at $1,490... now when I finally have a day off work that I was going to dedicate to shop for a diamond the setting is $1,650
. Is there any way that you guys think they would match that at all or work with me on price if I get the diamond from them as well?
Second- I've read and read some more on here about rose gold with diamonds and that you can maybe get away with a little color in the diamond if you are purchasing a rose gold setting. My questions is exactly how much color should I allow? My search parameters on the JA website are set as follows at the moment
Shape: Round
Clarity: VVS2 or higher
Cut: True Hearts
I'd like to get her at least a carat or as close as I can get to it but I'd deally like to keep it as close to $7K or $8K if at all possible and only one diamond is coming up at the moment in "I" color, the selection really broadens when I change the color to J but I want to be absolutely sure that the diamond will face up white. I've seen forums and pictures with beautiful J colored diamonds in rose gold settings but I feel as though it has to be the correct color- almost a faint brownish color not a yellowish tint- any suggestions on going a different route or suggestions on diamonds for that setting would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm so happy to have found this forum full of you kind people and look forward to your responses.
