Pink Diamond... complete novice would welcome guidance.

[Wiffle]

Please help.

I just had my first kid and want to thank my wife for all she''s been through with a pink solitaire.

Price = $22,000

I don''t need to get a bargain but I would like to avoid being ripped off! I am paying a retail, and buying the stone in a nice but simple platinum solitaire mount. The price includes a near 20% sales tax :O(

These are the GIA details

brilliant
0.74 carats
depth 61%
table 63%
girdle medium faceted
culet small
polish very good
symm very good
Clarity SI2
Color Natural intense purplish pink, even
Fluor Medium blue

Any and all comments welcome

Thanks

Tom.
