I recently purchased an engagement ring from bluenile.ca after receiving some assistance from the kind people on this board. The diamond I purchased is a 0.71 Carat H Color Ideal Cut internally flawless diamond with measurements 5.71 x 5.75 x 3.52 mm. The girdle is medium to thick with a depth of 61.4% a table of 57% and very strong blue fluorescence (which was confirmed to have no negative impact on the diamond prior to purchase and I happen to quite like). Crown angle is 34% and Pavillion angle is 41%, other details can be found here http://www.bluenile.ca/round-diamond-1-carat-or-less-ideal-cut-h-colour-if-clarity_LD02696266 the cost for the diamond wa $2809.

I purchased the bluenile platinum flora vida setting with diamonds which can be found here http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-engagement-ring-setting-platinum_19815 for a total cost of $4411 with taxes.

I have not yet received the ring as I had it shipped to her parent's house, but I was curious what people thought about the price I paid. I know that internally flawless isn't something visible to the eye, but it was something I wanted because it's slightly rarer (plus then when I propose I can say that I wanted a diamond that was perfect like you or something to that effect).

I will post pictures once it arrives.
 
The numbers look good on the stone so in theory it should be a very nice stone. I think you got a pertty decent price.
The closest I could find on JA was a .75 (cost more because it hits the 75 mark) H/IF that is $3211 and its not even
cut well even though its an "Excellent".
 
I agree with tyty, it looks like you paid a fair price for the stone. My husband feels strongly about a diamonds clarity too. ;))
