Nice James Allen .8-.85?

[kristy_lyn]

I''d like to get my diamond and setting from the same place...

I''ve found a diamond (AGS0 and ACA) that I really like at Whiteflash... but, since they''re a bit backed up right now, and I haven''t gotten a quote on the setting I like there.

Now, I''m thinking of moving on to J.Allen. They''re starting a search for me right now...so, they should have some suggestions soon - but maybe based on the search info here, you guys might recommend something that looks nice?

I want round.

I''d like to spend between $3300-$3600 for the stone, which seems to put me around the .8-.85 carat range, probably G color, VS2 or above (although, I''m open to an eyeclean SI1). It seems like at .9, stuff jumps up a lot in price, so, I probably can''t afford that!

Any suggestions?

What do you think of this one? It''s an SI1 - but, seems to have really good color and cut...

When I did a search for stones of that size, it did seem like James Allen had the best selection....

So, you might want to contact them for their suggestions as to "which" one best meets your needs...just a thought.....

I like em both! You can''t go wrong with either one. Need to check for eyeclean with these. If Jim can compare them both for you, even better. Hope you''re having fun on your hunt
