Buying a diamond for the first time for an engagement ring. I have tried to read all of the resources I could find on this page and others, but I still have a hard time telling if things are a good deal. I feel like I see diamonds of similar quality with vastly different prices.
Goal: 2 ct
Budget: $9,000
Shape: Round
I like the thought of lab diamonds (not married to the idea though, pun intended), but I'm also not against second hand.
I came across this one on Brilliant Earth:

$8,400
2.10 ct
Shape: Round
Cut: Ideal
Color: H
Clarity: VS1
Pavilion Angle: 41°
Crown Angle: 34.5°
It seems like a good deal meeting my goals. But maybe I'm overlooking something or could get more bang for my buck.
