Are you doing a solitaire? Let me know if you want help. Beyond the "C's" there is also the architecture of the cut, and knowing the generally accepted ideal parameters can help you understand the price difference between two otherwise similarly graded diamonds.

Not to out myself, but when I bought my e-ring diamond I posted the specific one on a diamond forum to sanity check because everything about the rock seemed to imply it should be 1000's more. The retailer is a sponsor on that forum, saw my post, and apparently I was right. They placed a temporary hold on the sale, then next day released it to me at the original price; their fault and they ate it. (markup is insane on this shit, so doubtful they really 'lost' money).

When our dating started getting serious, she kept dropping hints about how synthetic diamonds and cubic zirconium offers superior value to diamonds. I must have found her in a different universe than all you other XOers found your wives.

We were both ~30 and biglaw when we got engaged. Was just inertia / felt like the right amount to spend.

My wife likes it but has no idea what I spent. I don't really want her to know, or she'd probably be upset and think it's wasteful. I meant what I said above: I really think online has fucked everyone up re: diamonds. We see these 200x images that make all but the very best diamonds look awful, but then you get it and lol because you can't see shit IRL on any normal-sized stone, particularly in brilliant cut. I assume that my wife's is sparklier because there are fewer inclusions and the ratios are "excellent," but it's not like people are ever critically comparing them side-by-side, when they're both clean / not dusty and oily, in the same settings, etc.
