Buying a ring for my soon to be fiance and I've been pricing diamonds but I am no expert. I want quality over size. I'm trying to find a very nice diamond ranging from .8 to 1.00 to be placed in a platinum 3/5 diamond eternity ring. I would like to spend less than $5k on the diamond. The price of the ring is of little concern. So far this seems to be one of the nicer diamonds I have found at what seems to be a decent price. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this diamond is something I should pursue or if I am way off. Also, buying diamonds over the internet is tricky. Do you recommend that I go to a jewelry mart or to a diamond district instead? I live in Southern California so my option are great. Thanks for reading and here's the AGS Cert

Hi,
When you say it's nicer- have you seen it?

Hi David,

I have not seen the diamond yet. I've been pricing for several weeks now and on paper it seems like a decent deal.

You could get more weight for your dollar if you went down a notch in color and clarity. I'm no expert on specs so no comments there.
