Please help me pick a diamond!! (newbie)

[epaton]

Hi everyone,

I would really, truly appreciate your help picking a diamond for this setting:
http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/solitaire-settings.html

I've been waiting 15 yrs for my engagement ring and spent hours looking through diamonds online but not getting anywhere. It's a daunting choice for me. Budget for the diamond is maximum $3200.
I don't mind warmth in the stone, or a few minor inclusions.

I guess it's easiest to buy the diamond from JA also?

Thanks in advance!! Erin
