Hi there fellow Pricescopers!
I'm rather new to the site, but I've been lurking around and learning a lot about diamonds and forming my idea of what I want my engagement ring to look like. I have found a diamond that looks good on paper to me, but would like your opinions/insight.
The diamond I have my eye on right now:
http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-search?track=head#diamonds_pid=LD02455708
(Is this a good price? Can I do much better without a huge increase in price?)
The following are what I look for in a diamond:
--Cut: Ideal
--Clarity: VS2 and up (but have nothing wrong with an eye-clean SI2)
--Carat: .50-.70
--Color: H and up (or J-I with strong blue fluorescence)
--Polish: Very good and up
--Symmetry: Very Good and up
--Oh and Shape! lol: Round
As for the setting, I've found a couple styles that I really like. My preference is a white gold split shank pave setting...
This was my favorite...

...until I saw this one!

What do you think? Do you have any recommendations?
Almost forgot to mention our budget for diamond + setting: $2300
I'd greatly appreciate any advice/suggestions
Thank you in advance!
