I have the setting I would use for each I'm looking for the best looking diamond I could buy that would look like a 1 carat but is between .80 and .90 it is being set in white gold . My budget is $3600 for the diamond

.84 but beautiful AGS stone and the inclusion is light so most likely will be eye and saves you money: clean: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...rat-g-color-si2-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-3276060

.90 but would need to check if eye clean: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-si2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2645550

Wow... this is a fabulous stone. Love the spread on this too.

OP, I recommend you put this one on hold even if you want to look at other options further. I don't imagine this will be around for long.

One other note... if you have any JA stones put on hold, ask them to do so with the Advantage pricing. That will usually give you anywhere between 3.5-5% off the list price depending on the original stone cost, even if you use a credit card for payment. Wire payments will give you another 1.5% discount.

If you had to chose between your best james Allen on or best blue Nile which would you pick

Oooooo tough choice but for me it would be the G VS2! What setting is it going into, though?

Could you tell me why it has to be JA or BN? Whiteflash is a PS recommended vendor with a MUCH better upgrade policy...if that's at all an option, I'd highly recommend you consider them:
