    Thank you for your review of James Allen. I went with your recommendation and could not be happier. Thinking about switching to the cathedral setting you have so it sits a little higher but still absolutely love it. Thank you!

    it definitely seems like this tactic is the way to go to get a larger diamond for a more affordable price! In average lighting conditions, you can barely see the yellow with the human eye which is super surprising for a color M diamond! All one sees is a beautiful, massive diamond ring! 😁

    • @thepraterfam5895

      Exactly!!! That is why I went for a lower color cause I knew I couldnt afford this big if not 😂 but I am happy with how it looks in person. Don’t get me wrong though some m colors can be very yellow but you’ll just have to compare!

    I know it’s been awhile since you posted this, but I’m currently looking at upgrading from a 2ct to a little under 3! I have a CZ that I’m trying out currently and the stone looks humongous to me, so I’m worried that I’d feel a little self conscious while wearing it, but I know shrinkage is real (my 2 feels so small now, lol) Did you feel that it took some time to adjust to the size of your stone? I figure your size 5 with a 2.25 would be similar to my size 6 with almost a 3 :)

    I keep going back to your videos just to see how high up your setting is. I love my setting because it sits low. I'm in the medical field so I donn/doff the gloves all the time. But I'm just not sure if that is worth the trouble. At the same time, I don't want my wedding ring (haven't bought it) to clash againts the prongs since it sits too low if you know what I mean.

      If you go on James Allen website make sure you are on earth mined. The earth mined go to m in color. Lab created go to K. Most of the lab created are certified through lgl, which isn’t as strict, so in reality the lab created will be much lower on the scale than a Gia certified, which is what most of the earth mined are.
