Thoughts on This Stone and Setting From Whiteflash

fatalysis Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 7/9/2007 Member Since: 6/21/2006	Hi Everybody, I've started working with Whiteflash on purchasing an engagement ring. I originally wanted to stay around $5,500 for a nice platinum setting with a round ideal cut eye clean stone at least 1 ct in weight, but after taking a look at the setting and the stone below, I think I feel comfortable with shelling out a few extra bucks. Can you please give me your thoughts on what I've picked out? Your opinions are greatly appreciated! The Stone http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-2416669.htm (From Whiteflash's Expert Selection): Price: $4,998.00 Report: GIA Shape: Round Ideal Cut Carat: 1.12 Color: E Clarity: SI2 Depth: 61.6 Table: 57 Crown Angle: 34.9 Crown %: 15.1 Pavilion Angle: 40.9 Pavilion %: 43.3 Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted Polish: Good Symmetry: Very Good Culet: None Fluorescence: None Measurements: 6.65-6.69X4.11 The person I spoke with was really nice and pulled the stone in a very short amount of time to let me know that it's eye clean from 8 - 25 cm away and that the inclusions are faintly visible from the bottom and the side. I figure that once the stone is mounted onto the setting, this won't be much of an issue since the diamond is eye clean from the top. The Setting http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Solitaire/Platinum--Tiffany--Style-Knife-Edge_792.htm It's WF's platinum six prong "Tiffany" style knife edge setting. With the width being 3.5mm, I liked that it was a little thicker than the 2.5 mm - 3.0 mm rings I've seen. I think the pics and reviews I saw of this setting in other PS forum is what made me choose this one over all the other ones. So...for around $6,000 did I do okay?

fatalysis Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 7/9/2007 Member Since: 6/21/2006	Thanks for your opinions! I was also asked if I was interested in customizing the ring in any way. With the setting as nice as it is, would you modify it in anyway (like adding an engraving), or would you just leave it be?

fatalysis Rough Rock Total Posts: 14 Last Post: 7/9/2007 Member Since: 6/21/2006	Any ideas on how this is going to sparkle in the light? The FF and I went into a jewelry store this week and she made a comment on how sparkly some of the stones were over the others. Brilliiance wasn't something I really considered, but now it's got me curious, which is adding to the excitement of getting the ring. Any guesses?
