Hi,
I’m trying to buy an engagement ring and I’m using Blue Nile. I would like some help choosing the perfect diamond.
Round Shape
Solitaire, white metal (14k gold)
$1,300 (diamond)
Blue Nile LD14082715
Blue Nile LD13889629
I’ll appreciate so much if you can help me.

Unfortunately, this diamond would be a terrible option and terrible value. 1) Very strong fluorescence is a kiss of death on diamonds with higher grades. It can make them look hazy in daylight.
2) For a solitaire setting, G color is A LOT more than what’s necessary to have a beautiful ring. You can easily go as low as an I and it would look identical to a G. And you could either save some money or get a larger diamond.

This one is absolutely gorgeous. It has a beautiful cut and medium fluorescence would actually be a bit of a bonus here – it would help the diamond look whiter.
For $1,300, I found this 0.60ct that is a fantastic option as well:
Blue Nile LD14120503
It looks great!
But can you get something even cheaper? I know it is under my budget already, I’m just trying to see the best options for the price.
Absolutely. Here you go:

It’s beautiful.
Thank you so much for your help.
