A .79 is bigger than a 0.5 but remember we are talking mm’s here so it’s not going to be huge. Is about 0.8mm difference between the two. Isn’t the Soleste a double halo as well? Are those carat weights you’re talking about for the centre diamond or the whole ring? Have you been to any other stores to try rings on? Looking at Tiffany’s in store and comparing them to James Allen online is a bit like comparing apples and chicken nuggets. You need a suitable comparison so go into another jewellery store and try different halo settings on with a range of diamond sizes and specs before you decide. It doesn’t sound like you are 100% on what size you like and it would be a shame to spend all that money unless you are 100% sure you are getting what you and your future husband want.

I have only been to two Tiffany stores in NY. I have been to mall stores like Zales and Kay. Nothing really appeals to me. I didn’t really care about engagement rings until I walked to browse and saw the Tiffany soleste. I loved it right away. I don’t know if I want something around .75- 0.85 with lower clarity (D-F color and VS2 or VS1) or a lower size (0.4- 0.6) and higher clarity VVS2 or VVS1 but still D-F in color. Or should I go with small diamond and both lower clarity and color? Like a 0.4 D-G Si1 or VS2? Tiffany does carry si1. A 0.4 carat H Si1 in Tiffany costs $5,420.

For reference, my diamond. Looks pretty white to me.

JMO but I would never pay or expect my bf to pay anywhere nears that price for a ring, especially for under a carat. I get it, Tiffany, but does he really have this amount of money to spend on a ring?

Don’t buy anything until you are better educated in diamonds. Get Tiffany if you must, but you can have a beautiful setting and a stone twice as large if you go to the right places. Have you looked at Whiteflash? High Performance Diamonds? They have the best cut diamonds, better than Tiffany. As to how a bigger stone can look like a smaller stone, it’s all about cut. Forget color and clarity. It’s all about cut. Go to Pricescope if you doubt me. I post there too, but there’s some excellent information on the site.

Thank you for your input. Yes I wanted to get a bigger stone online and I tried too but I didn’t like the way they did the double halo. The innet halo stood out from the center while at Tiffanys the inner halo blends in and it makes the diamond appear larger without looking like a halo ia around it.
My boyfriend isnt paying the full amount. I am helping him pay for it.
I learned quiet a lot of diamonds from browsing pricescope and weddingbee forums. I also read site called Lumera Diamonds I believe that’s what its called.

0.41 carat HSI1 for $5350
0.44 carat HSI1 for $5450

Have you looked at any designer settings? Victor Canera and Leon Mege do beautiful work and their pave is second to none. They are expensive, but worth it. Their rings are also hand forged while Tiffany is cast.
