Please help with tycoon ring purchase!!

[lylewilcox1967]

I just bought my wife a tycoon cut ring for our 15th annivesary and want to make sure I did not over pay for this type of ring, I have 30 days to decide. Any way here are the specs:

center stone weight 1.02 carat
cttw 1.5 carat
clarity grade VS2
color grade I
depth 69.0%
table 81%
price $11,000

I am new to this forum and diamond rings, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

WOW!!! I don't see many Tycoons here! They are a fantastic looking stone!!! Well, as far as overpaying....did you over pay for an I Vs2 ordinary ol' emerald (which I know this is so not...but it's the closest stone I can think of), yes. Did you overpay for an I vs2 tycoon, probably not... I'm surprised the table is very large...but If you love it...and it performs well...then I think you did good!

I don't know much about tycoons but you could probably learn a lot by typing "tycoon" into the PS search engine - it pulled up a bunch of posts

She helped with picking it out and it looked very beautiful on her finger. She just doesn't know when I plan on giving it to her, she wants to be surprised. Not knowing alot about diamonds I am a little nervous about spending that much and it not being worth it. Thanks for you response.

Do to my ignorance what is the table and why are you surprised it is so large - is that a good thing?
