So I''m looking for a princess cut e-ring for my girlfiend. The diamond I want has the following specs:

. Report: AGS
. Shape: Princess
. Carat: 1.051
. Depth %: 73.8
. Table %: 75.6
. Crown Angle: 46
. Crown %: 10.7
. Pavilion Angle: 40
. Pavilion %: 60.3
. Girdle: Thin to Medium
. Measurements: 5.61-5.44X4.02
. Polish: Excellent
. Symmetry: Excellent
. Culet: Pointed
. Fluorescence: None

It''s roughly $6,300...is this a reasonable deal? I''m trying to order from whiteflash as they offer so much more info than Blue Nile (and my friends also gave them rave reviews). The drawback with WF is their inventory seems low right now...and they are claiming that order processing will take abnormally long (a full week). This is the only diamond they have that appeals to me but it seems darn good. I was primarily looking for an F-or-better color, with a decent cut and VS2 or better clarity.

Can anyone see any "gotchas" here?

Welcome Frosty,

If you don't want to post the link, can you post the grading report, ASET image and the photo of the actual diamond please?
 
Thanks! I like it, it appears to be a very pretty Princess!
 
Yep. I actually had a bit more budgeted, but I can't find anything else at WF that meets my main criteria (princess cut, F or better, VS2 or better, at least 1 carat). And Blue Nile again just doesn't seem to provide enough info...I won't buy what I can't see.

What you could do is contact WF and ask them if they have anything else suitable, they might be able to recommend another diamond for you to choose from.
 
They probably do, but I''ve also become a cut snob.

Should have mentioned that. But I''ll followup with them! Good idea.

Ideally I also wish it were a VS1 but people keep telling me that it shouldn''t make a real difference.

LOL!!

As to the clarity, you won''t be able to see the difference most likely between VS1 and VS2, unless you need VS1 as part of your package - you wouldn''t be able to tell.
