Dear Pricescope,

I will be buying my very first diamond for my fiancee, and I've down to some options.
My budget is around $4500, and ideally I would like to get the size 0.9+ ct. I've read lots of useful threads as well recommendations here but still a little confusing on my purchase.

I've talked to some associated from JA, and she gave me some recommendations below:

and

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...g-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-4312872


Would you mind to help me out to get the best gem for my budget? Other options are highly appreciated too.

Best regards,
Mike
 
#1 is not a good choice. #2 is good, but the dark inclusion on the table would be difficult for me to live with.

These are better choices.

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...h-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-4620497 {6.18 mm}
https://enchanteddiamonds.com/v/197161689 {good angle, good IS, 60/60 style stone so, better spread but more white light than fire; 6.21 mm}

If a more generous trade-in policy is desirable, and you have budget flexibility, you might consider this WF. WF has a better trade-up policy where they give you 100% of value to any more expensive diamond.

Does she like vintage or antique things?

Hi Mike,

Is this a surprise? Have you looked at rings and diamonds with your intended?

What are your priorities in colour, clarity and carat?

:)

Great.
What is she into?
Since she’ll be wearing it, hopefully every day for the rest of her life, her likes and dislikes should matter more than yours, right?
Can you talk to a friend, parent, or sibling about what sort of ring your intended wants?

This is gonna be her very first diamond, and to be honest, I have no idea what she's into a gem. Hence, I'm here trying my best to get the best gem that fit my budget. I do have the feeling that she would love the diamond that I get for her though :)

May I ask you a question? If you were me, that have $4500 for a gem, which one would you like to get?

Thanks a lot!

Let’s put this train in reverse. Does she wear jewelry? If so, have you taken note of the shapes of stones that are in her existing pieces? Women have their own tastes, and not everyone likes the most popular, or most common. If any of her pieces contain shapes other than round, you must take that into consideration. SHE will be wearing this diamond for the rest of her life. HER preferences must be a priority. It’s great to surprise her, but know what she loves before you spend $4,500 on something, only to watch the disappointment wash over her face, when you open the box. All diamonds are beautiful, but there is only one for her.

Thank you for your input. I did notice once she got a small unreal diamond ringed with a solitaire, and I remember it was a round shape. Therefore, I do believe that her taste is about a round diamond.

Best,
CL

That’s good...very good. This is very important. Knowing her taste will make your job easier.
 
I agree that knowing her taste is important. Most women want a round brilliant, so this is a good place to start. Regarding settings, if you have no clue what kind she would like and don't even have any hints from her whatsoever, it may be best to get a placeholder ring. By that I mean, you can buy the loose diamond and take it to a local mom and pop jeweler to have it set in a cheap, temporary solitaire setting made of sterling silver. Should cost no more than $100. Some jewelers will even do it for free (they have settings like this laying around to use as placeholders) if you agree to return to the store and purchase the setting from them after the proposal. After you propose with the temporary setting, you both can go back to the jeweler and pick out the real setting together.:) Everyone wins. She has something to put on her finger right after the proposal, and she also gets the ring she wants.

If you don't want to go this route, I would highly recommend trying to at least get some sort of idea about the setting. At the very least, you should go into this purchase knowing a few basics:

  • What metal color does she want? (White Gold/Platinum? Rose Gold? Yellow Gold?) Unless she has a ton of jewelry already and it is all in the same color, I would never recommend purchasing an E-ring without explicitly asking her this question. You said you've only seen one ring of hers. This is not enough to know her metal color preferences.
  • What style does she want? (Solitaire, three-stone, pave-set, channel set, halo, something without prongs like a bezel, etc.) Just like with color, it's difficult to know what type of setting she would want unless you've checked with her and her friends. Maybe she's always wanted an intricate, beautiful halo. If you get her a solitaire, she may secretly be disappointed at the lack of size. On the other hand, if she wants a dainty solitaire and you get the large halo, she may dread wearing it as it is too flashy for her. You said she has a small, unreal solitaire. This does not necessarily mean that she wants a solitaire for an E-ring. Maybe she just happened to pick up that ring for cheap and though it looked good as a right hand ring (RHR). Women's preferences for E-rings an RHRs are often very different.
  • What size diamond does she want? Believe it or not, some women want a smaller diamond. I think you're in a pretty safe range looking around the .9 carat mark, but sometimes guys go out an buy a 2 carat rock which their girlfriend ends up hating because she lives an active lifestyle, works with her hands, etc.
In my case, I started dropping hints about this a few months before I bought the diamond. I gathered what metal she wanted (platinum) what style she wanted (a solitaire without prongs) and got an idea of what size diamond she wanted. I was very subtle about how I phrased these, and I didn't ask all at once, but I got the info. She is still definitely going to be surprised when I propose in July, but I'll know that she at least has the style of ring that she wants to wear everyday.

Lets look at the hypothetical reverse situation where the woman bought the man something that he had to wear every day for the rest of his life. For example, a nice watch. I really enjoy wearing watches, but I'm fairly particular about what type of watch I like to wear. I like stainless steel (gold looks terrible on my skin) and I like classic dress and dive watches with smaller (36-41mm) watch faces and simple, timeless dials with only a date window. If my future wife went out and bought me a watch that cost thousands of dollars without at least asking some basic questions about my preferences, and came back with a giant rose gold chronograph with a 48mm watch face, I would dread it, because I would know that I would need to wear this thing that is not my style every day to make her feel good. Obviously, I would tell her I love it so as not to hurt her feelings (especially if it was outside of the return window), but I would secretly be disappointed. This is where I think a lot of guys go horribly wrong. They think "Oh, she said she loved it, so she must love it!" WRONG. Most women would tell you that even if it's not what they wanted just to preserve your ego.

Is there anything that you enjoy wearing every day that you have a particular style? Even if it's just a belt. What if you like smaller belts and your future wife bought you a giant cowboy belt with a 6 inch buckle... and you had to wear it EVERY day... for the rest of your life. Would you resent it?

Again, I'm not saying you need to have her pick out the exact setting and diamond, but please go into it knowing the basics outlined above.

This is exactly what I was trying to lead to. Thank you! lol!!
When my DH & I first started talking marriage, I made one thing very clear: Diamond Shape (Cut). My EXACT words were, “ALL diamonds are beautiful, but if you want a ‘YES!’ outta me, it HAS to be an Emerald Cut Diamond.” Now, I was even willing to wear a moissonite, or white sapphire, until we could find a diamond, to save money...as long as it was Emerald Cut. I even told him that I didn’t care about the setting; I could always reset the diamond, later. He refused to give me anything but a diamond. So, the search began for the perfect EC diamond.
Unbeknownst to HIM, a year earlier, I had been to visit our local jeweler on a separate mission, and while I was there, I looked at settings. I had something very specific in mind that I wanted. I had inherited a beautiful antique heirloom piece from my Great-Aunt Katie. It was dated back to the Art-Deco era. I loved the intricate detail, scroll & wheat engraving, combined with filigree, and millgrain. I wanted a setting as close to that as possible. I didn’t care if it had diamonds in the setting, or not...the artistry involved in the setting was what I loved about it, and I wanted a wedding set that reflected that same beauty. I found ONE that came close to what I wanted, and I fell in love with it.
The jeweler took my info., his info., and recorded the info. of the ring, in case he came into their establishment to look at styles & Diamonds. At that time, they did not have any EC’s in the size range that I wanted to see, in stock.
The following year, DH & I started discussing diamonds, and doing some comparison shopping. I used 1ct as a starting point, and we could compare from there...going up or down, based upon his budget & what he liked. I was willing to compromise; after all, I was getting an EC out of the deal....lol!
To cut to the end, we found a diamond we both loved that was a huge bargain, and truly beautiful (a “unicorn”, so to speak), and he decided to set the diamond in the setting I had chosen the year before....even after I told him it didn’t matter. I didn’t find out until the proposal. I didn’t even know what he had decided upon; I just knew he & I both loved the center stone for my ring. The rest was up to him. He knew I loved that setting, and, ultimately, he loved it, too, which is why he selected it. He loved it so much, in fact, that, when we went shopping for wedding bands, he insisted my wedding band match it. The jeweler had to custom design my wedding band to match because the one I fell in love with did not.
The proposal was a complete surprise, the setting was a complete surprise, and seeing the diamond I fell in love with set in the setting I loved was a complete surprise. It was more beautiful than I ever imagined, and there is nothing about it that I would change. Quite honestly, he wouldn’t change anything about it, either. I know it makes him proud to hear how much I admire the rings he placed on my finger, and when I come home almost every day from work & tell him I got compliments on my set, it makes him feel good. He’s not a big jewelry person, but I AM, and he feels a sense of pride about bringing me such joy.
Every time I look at my hand, I lose my breath, and my heart skips a beat because I love my set THAT MUCH; these rings mean the world to me. Would they mean as much without the hard work, and thought we both put into them? They would have sentimental value, but not to the extent that they do knowing what was involved in each ring, including the search for my beautiful EC. Each has its own story. They don’t just represent our marriage; they represent us, as a couple. The team effort we put into them makes them invaluable. His wedding band is a true representation of who he is; it matches his personality. My rings represent my taste, and my personality. Together, they compliment each other; they were made to be paired.
Your future wife should have a story to tell, too...and love her set as much as I love mine. Her set should represent her taste & personality, and so should yours. Together, they should “fit” together, as a pair.

Beautiful post. It sounds like your husband put a lot of thought into the ring, and you love it every day as a result. :) See @Cuong Lai, this is what I'm talking about. It's not so much the physical presence or cost of a ring that matters (@Matthews1127 even said she would've been happy with a white sapphire if cost had been an issue), but rather the thought that goes into buying the ring. I think that most women would rather have a $1000 ring that is exactly their style which their man put a ton of thought into rather than a $10000 ring that doesn't suit her taste at all. The latter example makes it look like the guy just walked into a jeweler and said "I need an engagement ring. What do you have?" and walked out 30 minutes later.

@Matthews1127 also brought up an excellent point regarding the shape of the diamond, and whether she wants a diamond at all. I forgot to explicitly mention that in my post when I talked about the size of the diamond, but these are also very important things to consider.

I also asked my girlfriend this. Again, you can be very subtle in how you phrase it. I remember asking her "So, what do you think about alternative gems in engagement rings like sapphires?" as we were walking by a jewelry store one day. She said something like "I don't know, I like other gems, and I think they're great for other jewelry, but I always dreamed about having the classic round diamond for an engagement ring." (Or something similar to this. My memory isn't good enough to remember quotes word for word :mrgreen:). Honestly, this surprised me. I thought she would have preferred a sapphire, because before she had always talked about how much she loved sapphires and she loves both blue and purple. Before I asked this, I was actually thinking of getting a blue-purple color-change sapphire for the E-ring, so I'm really glad I asked this question. However, if I had assumed she wanted a round diamond and she actually wanted a sapphire, then it would have been disappointing for her to not get the sapphire.

I wasn't one of those guys who had to get their girl a diamond. If she had said that she doesn't like diamonds and she wanted a moissanite/sapphire/ruby/etc. instead, then I would've bought one of those in a heartbeat. Bottom line: I wanted her to have what she wanted.

Again, you said she has a fake round diamond, so you're assuming that this is what she wants for her E-ring. I think this is a dangerous assumption to make. That's a single piece of jewelry and, like I said before, maybe she just bought it on a whim and didn't put much thought into it. Her taste for an E-ring could be totally different. My girlfriend owns a few sapphire replicas, so making the same assumption would have led me down the wrong path.

Thank you. A bit long-winded, but I wanted to stress the importance of everything mentioned, above.
I was shopping for a Mother’s Day gift for my mother, the year before we got engaged (and married), and I stumbled upon a beautiful, Emerald Cut White Sapphire set in a plain, stainless steel setting. The Sapphire was approx. 4-5ct (HUGE). The ring was $150.00!!! I took photos & sent them to my (now) DH. Explained that we could purchase this ring, and have him customize a setting to fit my specifications to set the Sapphire in. Basically, build a home for the stone to make it “mine”. He refused; he wanted a diamond. I’m not complaining; what bling-loving, Diamond-obsessed woman turns THAT down? lol!
Just an example of our circumstance, and what we were willing to do to make it all come together. I was still surprised, and I got everything I wanted, and more!
@TreeScientist, my DH is very sentimental, as am I, and he really did put a lot of thought, effort (and money) into the engagement/proposal. Ultimately, the idea is to love ALL of it, especially the proposer, and the ring is a life-long reminder of that commitment. It should make her smile & give her chills each & every time she looks at it.
 
Thank you so so much everyone have chimed in your fabulous and kindly thoughts and experiences. I've been trying to do some homework and research on what she likes and her tastes. Things are going so far so good.

I've found one, but I'm not sure either this is a good option yet:

For $5700, is this a good one?

Thanks
