I''m a complete novice (aside from one day of running the jewlry store circuit) and need advice on the purchase of a fancy yellow diamond ring. I''m bascially looking for
- ~1 carat square fancy yellow diamond VS1-VS2 (no emeral cut)
- 2 triangle trilliant cut white diamonds on both side of the yellow diamond (not as important on clarity/color)
- platinum or white gold ring (size 4.5)
I''ve found one at baily banks for ~10K, while Tiffanny''s wants 30K, Cartier wants 40K. Also Ebay has one for 5K (see link below) . . . i definitly wants to spend less than 10K. . .

(seems sketchy to me, whats GHI Certification?)
basically I''m looking for help in
1) determining how much I should pay for something like what I have in mind
2) the price difference between how deep the color is (vivid vs intence vs regular?)
3) is the ebay one legit?
4) what is the best cut? (table vs depth)
5) and where I can find something like what I''m looking for (dealer/sellers feel free to point me your way)
