Made my decision on the stone and the setting

Hi everyone, after reading posts here, I have learned tons of great information about diamond purchase. I started telling people about this great forum.

I am in a process of searching for an Engagement ring that I am planning to use in mid Feb. Initially, I was thinking of getting one from a local Jewelry store, like Tiffany & Co. However, after reading some great posts on pricescope, I learned that for the same or even less amount of money, I can buy a bigger and/or better quality diamond ring from one the several PS approved online stores.

I finally land on something that I like and need from whiteflash.com, here is the spec of the stone:
. Report: AGS
. Shape: Whiteflash ACA
. Carat: 0.770
. Depth %: 61.5
. Table %: 57.3
. Crown Angle: 34.8
. Crown %: 14.9
. Star : 52
. Pavilion Angle: 40.7
. Pavilion %: 42.8
. Lower Girdle %: 77
. Girdle: Thin to Slightly Thick Faceted
. Measurements: 5.86-5.88X3.61
. Light Performance: 0
. Polish: Ideal
. Symmetry: Ideal
. Culet: Pointed
. Fluorescence: Negligible

I also picked a setting from WF, the "sleek line pave" diamond band. Can''t wait to receive the finished ring and pop the question to her!

Hi Mugenpower and welcome!

Thank you for the great feedback, we appreciate it very much!

The diamond looks extremely promising, could you post the Idealscope and hearts image please? The setting is a beautiful classic and is one of my favourites.

The images are slightly distorted but from what I can tell it looks good, if it isn't too much trouble, could you link to the hearts image please? The hearts image is definitely distorted and although I would think the diamond is fine, I wouldn't want to go by that image.
