Oval Diamond Search

[OvalJoy]

Hello everyone!

I've been browsing multiple sites searching for the perfect diamond that my $4500 can buy for an engagement ring. I've done my research on what characteristics to look for (ie. table% 53-61, depth% 59-63, l/w ration 1.4-1.5), but I'm curious to know about purchasing online. Are there any sites I should stay away from? Can some suggest a reputable site where I can get a quality diamond for great value?

Thanks!

Throw the numbers out the window. Unfortunately, there is no shopping by the numbers for ovals. You must be able to see pictures of the actual stone, preferably a video and where possible, ASET imaging is best.

I suggest James Allen. They have images of the stones and can get you aset images of some/most of them to check on light return.
Is $4500 for the diamond or for the diamond and setting?
