Please Help! - Advice on Princess Engagement Diamond

[supersnailman]

Hi,

First off, thanks so much everyone for all the great info on this site! I''ve gone from knowing nothing about diamonds to feeling reasonably well-educated. But along with this knowledge comes uncertainty, and I''m going a little crazy trying to make up my mind on what to buy.

I think it would help a lot to have a second (and third, fourth, etc.) opinion confirming that I am at least on the right track. Please take a look at these specs and tell me what you think about this stone:

Report: AGS (AGS IDEAL 0)
Shape: Princess
Carat: 0.740
Depth %: 72.8
Table %: 70.2
Crown Angle: 40.6
Crown %: 11.8
Pavilion Angle: 39.6
Pavilion %: 58.2
Girdle: Thin
Measurements: 4.99-4.93X3.59
Light Performance: 0
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: Negligible

And of course, Price: $2800

And one question--I know all of this is subjective, but in your opinion, would a diamond of this size look reasonably big on a 5.5 finger?

I welcome any other suggestions on stones. I am looking for princess, F-H, VS1-VS2, and something at least close to an ideal cut. Budget $3200.

Thanks so much for your help and advice!

I think you''re on the right track with an AGS0 princess! But having a 5 1/2 size finger, I''ll have to tell you that a princess this size will not exactly look "reasonably big". A round at that weight will have a diameter of around 5.8mm, so the princess will have a slightly smaller appearance. But it should still be beautiful!

Hi ss,

You are definitely on the right track picking an AGS0 for Princess. Now, unless I missed it, I can''t find the color and clarity on yours to tell you how the price is...

Oops! That''s quite an omission.
It is G VS2.

I know a round of this weight would look a bit bigger, but she wants a princess. Thanks for the input so far!

Nice price, especially if it''s not online.
