Is this a good diamond

[oneit]

I have been reading and trying to learn but I can never really tell what is good.
I am just looking for something that will look good (biggest bang for the buck) while not looking cheap.

Any thoughts on this diamond?

How much do you want to spend?

Want to stay around $2,500 - $3,000.

I read all these things about the 4c's and then people go into the table/depth stuff and I get all thrown off.

I am looking for something someone would walk into a store and see and say yeah that looks good. I guess it really comes down to color and cut. Not going to be putting 10x on it ever and she is not picky.

3000 with the setting?

With princess cut it's hard to shop by the numbers like you can with the round. If you want a no-fuss strategy to buying a beautiful princess, either 1) stick to AGS 0 princess cuts, 2) Use JA to pick out princess cuts and ask the gemologist for an ASET and evaluation, 3) Ask a vendor to bring in stones fitting your parameters for you (many here use Good Old Gold)

Here's a few near the top end of the budget and guaranteed top performers:
