Sanity Check: Is this a Good Buy?

[Orion23]

Okay, first post here on this forum.
I''ve been reading up using this site for a little while now and finally took the plunge and put a deposit down on an engagement ring at a small local B&M. The knowledge I''ve learned here has been extremely instrumental in my diamond shopping. But I was wondering if this was a good buy on my part or not. I only have 7 days to decide and am hoping for some feedback from the experts.

Here are the specs:
Brilliant Round 0.875 H VS2 AGS Ideal 0 (Laser inscribed cert # on table)
Measurements: 6.18 x 6.19 x 3.79 mm
Table: 55.7
Depth: 61.3
Crown Angle: 34.0 degrees
Crown Depth: 15.0%
Pavilion Angle: 41.0 degrees
Pavilion Depth: 43.3%
Polish and Symmetry: Ideal
Girdle: 1.1 to 3.3%
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: None
================================
$4149 on sale for $3549.00
Paired with a platnum solitare ring ($1050 on sale for $700)

I check out the diamond in setting both in store and outside in natural light and it did look very nice with lots of fire and scintillation showing.

You''re paying scant premium over a Blue Nile comparable, and will have a local friend. Great work!

My thoughts exactly! Sounds like a very nice stone, in a classic platinum setting for close to on-line pricing. Good Job Orion. Hope your FI is thrilled and it''s a PS requirement that you take pictures and post them!!

I surely took my time doing so.
