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).

By reducing the size of this diamond (0.55 carats), it's possible you might save a substantial amount of money which can help out with other expenses. To the unassisted human eye, this F color diamond by itself appears completely white and pure - there is no method to detect traces of color in it utilizing only the human eye without nearby diamonds, or to differentiate it from others within the colorless range. Girdle thickness (for this diamond the girdle is "Thin to slightly thick") can have an significant role in the apparent size of the diamond, which is detailed in my article about girdle thickness.
