Hi, I'm a newbie and just saw this site out there.

I recently purchased a 0.95ct round brilliant for ~$5300 and was wondering if you guys thought I got a good deal. Thanks!

Measurements: 6.29 - 6.30 x 3.86 mm
Carat Weight: 0.95 carat
Color Grade: H
Clarity Grade: SI1
Cut Grade: Excellent

edit: I purchased this in a store and didn't see any inclusions immediately noticeable to my eye (for what that's worth).
 
One thing I am curious about is whether the feather near the outside of the stone will be a problem for durability (if you download GIA report pdf you can see the inclusions). Will this stone be more prone to cracking and is it something to worry about when getting ring settings?

I am having the rock mounted on a 90/10 platinum six prong ring (~$450). Does anyone know a place where I could get a nice ring box for when I present it to her? Thank you for your help!
 
I am not able to get the GIA report to come up.

The stone scores well using the HCA and based on the same characteristics using the search here, it looks like you got a solid price.
 
Looks like a lovely stone and I do think the price is fair! Good for you for finding one just under the carat mark! :appl:
