Below you can find a selection of handpicked round diamonds that are eye clean and meet the quality criteria for color, cut, and other factors, which we have described in detail in our step-by-step diamond buying guide.
You can pick some of these stones for your ring if you don’t want to spend time browsing through diamonds yourself. We have listed some of the biggest eye-clean stones available at James Allen that fit the most popular diamond budgets.
Some of these stones might no longer be available as customers put them on hold and purchase them. We update the list regularly and add new diamonds, so you can bookmark this page and come back to check out our new additions.
For each budget, we have grouped the diamonds by the type of setting they are most suitable for (side-stone, halo, and other settings). This distinction is based on whether the stones meet a minimum color grade that makes them look bright and colorless in the respective setting (I for side-stone settings, H for halo settings, and J for all anything else).
