Newbie Diamond Recommendation Please!

[tsangstagangsta]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a diamond online and I stumbled upon Price Scope and everyone here seems really helpful!
I'm looking for something between 0.68 and 0.75 and I found this one:

http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd-4226191-0.74-carat-Round-diamond-G-color-SI2-Clarity.aspx?sku=4226191&utm_source=pricescope.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pricescope.com

is there anything in particular I should be looking for that may or may not make this one a good choice?
how trustworthy are the Asset and Ideal Scope views? I am a bit wary of buying online before seeing in person but that's the risk to take to get the deal of buying online right?

Here is the setting with a 1ct CZ in it:

It leaks under the table a little bit. Consider going lower in color.

thanks for the reply but unfortunately I don't understand what do you mean by "leaks under the table" and by lower color you mean try an H or lower?

Like H, I, or J color.

Thanks for the idealscope info sheet that really helps a lot.

And also thanks for the whiteflash link. I read somewhere that the best color range is F to H, is J going to be noticably yellower? Or do you think a great idealscope outweighs the color?

 

[Andelain]

In stones under a carat, most people don't even see tint in super-ideal J's. And yes, a great cut hides a lot of color.

 

[tsangstagangsta]

she definitely said that sparkle was a priority for her. By super ideal, are you talking about the light performance, polish, and symmetry?

 

[JulieN]

What is your budget for the diamond? I like your user name.

thanks
my budget is under $2500 after tax so probably in the $2200 range (lower is better to off set the setting fee)
