For places like James Allen and Blue Nile are not only leaders in the diamond industry, but they have some of the lowest prices for diamonds in the world!

Diamond Quality:

All of these diamonds are GIA Certified, have great color (G-H to Colorless), have Ideal Cuts, and have No Fluorescence!

It should give you a really good price frame for what to expect (do note that these prices were averaged at the time of this post).

A recommended quality, one that will face up great, has tons of sparkle and brilliance, and won’t cost you an arm and a leg, is this:

SI1, E-F, Excellent Cut, GIA Certified Brilliant Cut Diamonds.

Now, all you need is to have it set in the mounting of your choice (I highly recommend a Tiffany Style, Pave Style, or Halo Style Mounting).

Now that’s the Ultimate Engagement Ring!

Cheers! :)
