Hi everyone
I've been lurking for a little while and trying to learn from the experts
I live in the UK and am looking for a diamond pendant for my wife's birthday. I'm not too tied to a particular budget/size/quality but am open to advice as to what I "need" to spend in order to get something nice! (I don't really mean "need" but hope you get my meaning...!)
I've had a look at a few online retailers and noticed this diamond:

What are your thoughts on it please? I notice it's a "Signature" diamond but wasn't particularly desperate to buy one in that range (it just came up during a search and seemed to have good specs). Should you know of better/as good alternatives for less then I'd be pleased to hear from you!
I'm somewhat drawn to BlueNile as it looks like they ship from within the EU (Ireland?) which might reduce issues with customs/shipping times etc and they've been quite responsive so far. Their prices seem OK, but as I say I am keen to hear what others think! We have to add 20% VAT to all prices in the UK unfortunately... I've bought diamonds in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter previously but prices do seem slightly better online.
I was planning on having the diamond made into a platinum pendant (16" length as my wife is very petite) but that is about as far as I have got.
Thanks very much for reading
