What do you think about this deal?

[Krik]

I have come across a local engagement ring on craigslist and I wanted to see if you all thought it was a good deal.

Its a GIA RB 1.22cts. I color and SI1 clarity. GIA report #15817959. Its set in an 18k white gold setting with 38 full cut pave round diamonds weighing a total of .46 carats. G-H colors and SI1 clarity. It looks like a Tacori ring but its NOT a Tacori. She has an appraisal of $11,000 and she is asking $5000 for the ring.

Here is the GIA information on the center stone:

I have some pics of the ring but I can't post them from work. I will put them up later tonight.

She is asking $5000 but I'm trying very hard to convince her to take $4500. My original budget was $4000 but my fiancee is pushing hard for this so I'm scraping the extra $500 if you all think its worth it.

So what do you all think? Go for it?

Numbers are good, slightly different look from the TIC cut.

Price is good too. Finalized the purchase after independently appraised?

If she agrees to $4500 Im going to ask her if I can take it to an appraiser to finalize the deal. I want to make sure the center stone is the same as the one listed on the GIA report.

Here are some pics of the ring:
