I did some research before buying a diamond and shopped around quite a bit. This is my first time posting here, but I will say I read many posts during my research. I usually get 2nd opinions/reviews on forums for everything (merchandise purchases, fantasy sports, pet care, etc.) but I wanted to know that when purchasing a diamond for engagement, it was based completely on my opinions/decisions. Hopefully this was not foolish! Just put a down payment on a stone today - Price is $5170. How do you think I did? I will try to provide as many details as possible, but the photocopied cert. is hard to read so dimensions may not be exact, especially the girdle.

Lazare Kaplan - AGS Cert.
Shape / Style - Round Brilliant 3.97 - 6.02 x 3.72mm
Color: D (0)
Clarity: VS2 (4)
Carat: 0.817
Cut: Ideal (0)
Diameter - 100%
Table - 55.1% (or 55.4%)
Depth - 61.9%
Crown - 15.5%
Girdle - ? to 4.3% (Does this sound right? Is 1.3% better?)
Pavilion - 43.0%
Crown Angle - 34.3%
Pavilion Angle - 61.9%
Culet - Pointed
Fluorescence - Negligible

Double check the pavilion angle, should be the number around 41%
 
Sorry about that!

Pavilion Angle - 40.8%
 
Looks great, these diamonds are said to be stunning so if you love it and value the LK pedigree, then thats fine!
 
Numbers look good to me.
 
The diameter numbers are off, but I know you said it was hard to read.... I''m assuming they are ok. Other than that, sounds like a beaut, and the price seems fair. I think you did well!
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I will have to check the numbers again tonight, but I''m happy to hear the price is fair.
