Is this a good diamond to buy?

[tangomango]

Thinking about buying the diamond below for engagement (attached is the cert). I found it on Whiteflash. Please help give feedback. Your expert advice is much appreciated!

1.2 G VS1 Round EGL = $6.6K
Table = 55
depth = 62.1
crown height = 16
pavilion depth = 43
girdle = med
polish = ex
symmetry = ex
flourescence = none
culet = none

My Fiancee has her heart set on a ~1.25, G & above, VS2 & above stone. So far, this is the closest that I can get without stretching too far out of my budget.

Thanks for your help!!

Ask WF for more information about cut and their opinion of the color/clarity grade. Also, I believe they do not upgrade EGL stones.

Tango, this is possibly a non inventory diamond, so WF would have to call it in for you. You would need to contact them concerning this, also perhaps they could offer you some alternatives.
