Does this setting include the center diamond?

In general, most designer engagement ring settings do not come with a center diamond. The center stone you see pictured is a cubic zirconia (CZ) and is a placeholder to help shoppers visualize the setting with a diamond center. If you do not wish to set a diamond in the setting at this time, the ring will come with the CZ as shown in the picture. Our settings are priced by our Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price, and vary depending on the style, shape and size. Center stones are purchased separately and entail a different set of guidelines. A complimentary cubic zirconia can be set if desired.

Can you make this in a different metal?

Metal choices will vary depending on the designer. All brands have rings available to be made in 18k gold and platinum. Some of our lines offer 14k as a metal choice as well. In most cases, a ring can be customized to your preference of yellow, rose, or white gold. If you do not see your desired metal choice available, please contact us and we’d be happy to check on availability.

Can you make this with a __ carat diamond?

In this case, there may be a fee associated with sizing.

How much is a 1 carat diamond?

Each individual diamond varies, as does the price. There is no absolute price for a set diamond weight. Diamond prices depend on the cut, color, clarity, grade, fluorescence, certifications, and other factors. With today’s market at an all time high, demand for diamonds with excellent cut, color and clarity are rare to come by thus the higher cost. Contact our diamond advisers for more information on diamond prices. We will be sure to find you a quality stone within your budget. You may also search our online diamond database to get an idea of diamond prices with varying characteristics.

Why is your diamond more expensive than this price I found online?

Diamonds are graded with certificates determined by individual diamond graders. No two diamonds are exactly alike. We believe that diamonds should not be priced based on certificates alone, which do not always reflect the way a diamond looks in person. At Diamonds by Raymond Lee we look at each individual diamond and price it according to its unique characteristics.
