Q: Hello. I was wondering if you would be able to help me by taking a look at a few diamonds on JA. I am looking for something eye clean with a budget of $2300 for just the stone. It has to be a princess cut and i would like to go no lower than .70 carats. I will attach a few links on a couple that i am considering. I would like to go no lower than H color, VS2 clarity, and at least a “very good” cut. Any help would be appreciated. Also, i want to go strictly with JA. Sorry i put so many for you to look at. If you have any other ideas please share Thank you in advance!

Q: First of all, I would like to thank you for this wonderful site. I learned so many things regarding diamonds.
Actually, I am plannning on buying a round shaped diamond to be the center stone for an engagement ring (18k white gold). I have a budget of around $1000 for the complete ring and I am hoping to get the most out of it. Of course I want to get the best cut and the most carat within my budget but without sacrificing the color and clarity.
Actually I found this diamond which caught my attention in JamesAllen site:

I hope you can give me your comment on this diamond if it is any good. If not, can you suggest any better diamond within my budget.
I hope you can help me on this. Read More…
Q: Thank you for the great information on your site, it’s making shopping for an engagement ring for my girlfriend much less painful. I’m just starting to zero in on what I am looking for. She wants the setting in yellow gold so I feel like I can go a little lower on the color scale. This one seems like a pretty nice stone for the money, although I can see a visible inclusion near the center. Could you please let me know what you think? Thanks!
