Newbie buying an engagement ring soon!

[Wolverine48335]

Hello all - I''ve been lurking in these forums for a few day and I have already learned so much. I really apppreciate all the people taking the time to help educate novices like myself. Anyway, I''m looking to get a ring sometime early next month. I''ve looked at a few different sites and I have used Blue Nile to order jewelry in the past. My budget is $15,000 or lessl, with $1000 of that set aside for the setting (6 prong platinum is my current choice).

I found a stone I''m considering on Blue Nile. Any feedback? I''m definitely open to other vendors/suggestions. Overall, I''d like to be around 1.5 carats, ideal cut, I or better color, VS2 or better clarity. Thanks for taking the time!

Bank wire price: $13,575
Carat weight: 1.67
Cut: Signature Ideal
Color: I
Clarity: VS2
Price per carat: $8,252
Depth %: 60.9%
Table %: 56%
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Girdle: Thin to medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
Measurements: 7.67 x 7.71 x 4.68 mm
