Hey guys I've been looking at Diamonds by Lauren

I have a budget of about 5,000-5500 and was looking at this setting.

What do you guys think of any of these and the price? I contaced David and he told me I could take an additional 7% off the center stone of my choice

I've done some diamond shopping comparison and they seem kinda high to what I've found through the pricescope diamond search.

Beautiful setting! David seems a great guy to work with and that's a nice discount from him. I like then last diamond linked the best. I don't know anything about prices. Good luck with your decision and good for you doing your homework on this one!

I like the setting a lot April, He just was pretty strict on getting the stone through him with that particular setting.

I've seen Cushions in the .70-.90 in the 3500 range and have seen them in the 2500 range with the same characteristics. Just curious why the big gap in price difference?
