Hello all. This is my first post, but I have been all over this site for the past couple of days. Love all the information there is to be absorbed, yet very overwhelming. I''m planning on popping the question to my girlfriend after I get home from deployment, and hopefully by Christmas. I''ve learned a great deal about diamonds over the past few days, and feel very confident at being able to look at a diamond''s specs and knowing what is good and not. Mainly, Fluorescence and Clarity Enhanced is bad, and "Cut is King" lol. But the knowledge i lack is how extra facets affect the diamond in price and brilliance. Is it ok or a big no no? Can you still achieve and "Ideal Cut" with an extra facet? Basically, should I look at it as good or bad?
Here are the specs of the diamond i am currently looking at on uniondiamond.com
Shape: Princess
Cut: Select Ideal™
Carat: 1.10
Color: H
Clarity: VVS1
Regular Price: $3643
Wire Transfer Price: $3537
Diamond Proportions:
Measurements: 5.94-5.69-4.14

Depth Percentage: 72.8 %
Table Percentage: 70 %
Girdle: TN
Culet: None (Pointed)
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Fluorescence: None (Inert)
Oh and BTW, what does "TN" mean for the Girdle? sorry for the long post, I just want the ring to be perfect. I appreciate any and every helpful response.
Thanks
