Same, and I have mixed feelings about it. The 200x zoom photos online showing each flaw is ridiculous because you'll never see it like that again and she'll never see it at all but leads you to overspend.

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).

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.
