Is this a good diamond?

I thought got a good deal on a pair of earrings, but after reading about reflection..I'm not sure that is what it was called, I'm starting to doubt my purchase. I bought a pair of diamond earrings about a year ago from BB&B, below are the details: First Diamond AGS Certified Round Brilliant 5.99-6.06 x 3.72 Cut Grade - AGS Ideal 0 Color Grade - AGS 2.0 (H) Clairty Grade - AGS 3 (VS1) Carat Weight - 0.822 Second Diamond AGS Certified Round Brilliant 6.10-6.13 x 3.73 Cut Grade - AGS Ideal 0 Color Grade - AGS 1.5 (G) Clarity Grade - AGS 4 (VS2) Carat Weight - 0.835 The earring are set in Platinum with screw backs. I paid 9K for the set. Did I make a good purchase? Any help would be appreciated. Please be kind, I don't want to feel like to much of a heel if I made a bad purchase. Mike

Sorry if it'd upset you but you could save a bit buying similar earrings from the internet. You could get similar stones for less than $4,000 each and the plattinum setting would cost you $300. Do not be upset though and enjoy them. Pricescope

The first may or may not have value, I am not sure, depends on the brand. It would not to me. The second also has no value since it is normal practice to use the inclusion map on the certificate and the weight plus dimensions to identify a stone. Kindof like using a fingerprint on a person instead of tattooing them with their social security number. But it does not hurt either. http://www.pricescope.com/origin.asp?id=115&sh=88&prc=3686 $3686 http://www.pricescope.com/origin.asp?id=205&sh=88&prc=3779 $3779. Seems like it could be replaced for $8,000 online. You did not get ripped off at all, and you bought some really nice cuts. It was a fine purchase, maybe 10 to 12%% more than online prices but that is to be expected with B&M.
