Greetings, all! Lurked for about a week and finally selected my ER. Thank you very much for your knowledgeable community. I joined PS today to share with you what I chose. I received this ring maybe an hour ago and this is my first diamond purchase. I welcome your expert opinions on my selection.

my apologies in advance for poor camera, and poor lighting.

so how do you guys think I did? the setting was only 200 because I wanted the harder 14K white gold, and the stone was 984 for a total price of 1184 USD shipped. I hope she'll love it. her ring size is a Size 7.
Thanks, PS'ers!
