I’m looking to buy a solitaire diamond engagement ring. I’m based in the UK and want to avoid customs/duty considerations, so for example Blue Nile is preferred to James Allen.
Diamond shape: round brilliant
Budget: up to £2,900 for the diamond
In general, quality (particularly cut) is more important than size, but 0.70 carat or above would be ideal.
This setting in platinum: Petite Cathedral Solitaire Engagement Ring
I looked around and I found this diamond that I thought would be a fantastic choice for you:
Blue Nile LD12460117
It’s beautifully cut, eye-clean and will be very bright and brilliant in the setting you’re considering.
That diamond looks great. I’d done a fair bit of research before emailing you, but wasn’t quite confident enough to make the final decision! I’m pretty sure it’s what I’m looking for, so I’ve ordered it.
Thanks for your help.
That’s great news! I’m glad you liked my suggestion so much.
The ring is absolutely beautiful, and my fiancée loves it! I’m very pleased with the diamond and the overall look of the ring.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback, I’m glad your fiancée loves her new ring! And congratulations on your engagement.
