Ok, so I was going to buy this ring from MDC Diamonds on ebay, but you all have talked me out of it. Like I said a couple of days ago, I was going to get this ring, setting and all for $3200.

So now my new consideration is this:
This is WAY WAY WAY over my budget, but I can''t help it. After you all talked me out of ebay, I can''t help but feel like I want to get the very very best for my girl and it''s been so so hard to figure out where to compromise! I want to get this diamond and can get it for $3500, only $300 over the budget that I was at.

The guy at DCD assured me that it is "eye clean" and I ran the DIY cut guide and everything turned out to be a 1A rating. As long as it is eye clean, the only other thing besides price that maybe scares me a little is the "medium" florescence.
My first question:
Should I really be too concerned with the medium blue florescence or is this just an all around GREAT diamond in my price range (or a little over anyway).
My second question:
Now that I''ve already gone over my budget, does anyone know where I can get a setting IDENTICAL to the one listed on ebay at a really good price? I''d like the side stones to be close to .40 total carats, the setting in white gold, and as I said, now that I''ve gone over my budget on just the stone, I really can''t pay over $400 or $500 dollars for it, making my total purchase $4000. Maybe someone knows where I can find this setting for a really good price. Maybe some of you on here are actually jewelers that can make this setting for me?
Any help would be very valuable on my two questions!
Thanks
