Quick and Easy Buying Guide
Carat weight: 1 carat = 200 milligrams = 6.5 mm diameter. Doubling weight doesn't double diameter.
Diamond clarity: FL/IF/VVS/VS = super expensive, near perfect. SI = best value if you can check a photo for obvious inclusions (defects).
Color: D-G = colorless, expensive, only if you have money to burn. H-J = best value. Can go lower in gold metal settings than white metal.
Cut: Better cut ratings let more light into a diamond, making it sparkle more. Very important property, don't skimp here.
Set a budget and minimum cut (Premium). Go J color for gold and I/H for white metals. Go searching for SI1/SI2 clarity diamonds at James Allen. Pick a diamond with small/no inclusions. Choose a ring setting and buy it risk-free (60-day returns).

Since this stone is a Premium cut diamond, it offers excellent value for money, since it doesn't attract the price premium of the higher cut gradings, while still providing reasonable optical properties. This diamond's girdle ("Medium to thick, faceted") will have an influence on the overall diamond, and should not be neglected entirely.
Think about if you're entirely set on the 0.91 carat weight of this diamond - perhaps you are able to stretch for a bigger stone. F color diamonds are virtually colorless, meaning they are included in the pure white group of diamonds. If you can see the diamond in the flesh or see high quality photos of the diamond (like the one for this SI1 clarity diamond), this is where the most valuable deals are to be found - finding an SI1 or SI2 stone that is "eye clean" is a fulfilling experience that translates to less dollars spent.
At a cost of $4290, this diamond sits firmly in the middle range of diamonds bought for diamond engagement ring settings.
