This is a ring I am considering for my bride to be. She is in the public eye and I want something nice for her. Is this a good ring? Thanks to all for the feedback... johnlmuse@yahoo.com

I don't know anything about diamonds but I can handle this one.

You're learning quickly grasshopper.

This sounds like an Ebay listed diamond without a bonafide grading report from a reputable lab like GIA or AGS.

Red flags to watch out for:

Color and clarity are given a specific designation, e.g.; "H" color, and "SI-1" clarity.

Split grades as you describe above are not given by GIA or AGS and are misleading to the consumer as well as it having a significant impact on pricing.

What does "excellent shine" mean? How is this quantified?

I saw some guys in the Lobby of my building this morning that showed "Excellent Shine"
on the backside of their pants...

Get more detailed information from this vendor or keep shopping.

Good Luck.
