8k on a christmas gift? someone must have a very fat wallet.

serious question, is this a qood price for this? I have seen a 1 carat weight set in 14k gold at jewelryexchange.com for 599, not sure how to judge the quality though. sorry for the newbie tone in the question

Its just plain ignorant to buy diamonds without confirmation of the quality of the stones. They will probably arrive an I3 clarity and M or worse on color. Good luck...
Hint: Learn the four C's before plunking down thousands on a crap shoot.
Based on the quality of the diamond.. this could be the deal of the century..or the biggest rip off in history. If i had to take a guess.. this is a rip off..
Agree with most replies here. Would really help if the site included Clarity and Color ratings. I'm in the market to buy an engagement ring this year, and it kills me to see a deal like this which sounds great on the surface, but missing some really important info!
The rock for $599 is probably SI quality. IMHO, anything less than VS2 is crap. You may want to consider the grade of the cut (geometry), color, as well as the polish.
[Clarity]
F - flawless (extremely rare) IF - internally flawless VVS1, VVS2 - no inclusions visible to the naked eye, 1 or 2 small imperfections seen under a microscope
VS1, VS2 - no inclusions visible to the naked eye, more imperfections seen under a microscope
SI1, SI2 - small inclusions visible to the naked eye I - large inclusions, easily seen
[Color] D, E, F, G, ... etc. D = colorless (the best)
[Cut] Princess - square solitare Round - traditional solitare Oval
There are many other types of cuts
If you take a 1 carat, F color, VVS2, round solitare, good to excellent polish, then you are looking at $14k easily.
BlueNile.com has some good explanations. also, the new martha stewart weddings magazine has a section on how to save money by picking whats most important to you in a ring. (cuts that look bigger, when quality actually matters and in what cuts, etc.)
Wow, this is one of the most ignorant things I have read in Hot Deals for awhile... Let me guess, you got your buying advice from the sales person at Tiffanys.
There are plenty of great stones that are in the GIA SI1/2 range. You need to be smart about it and inspect the stones to see what they look like. If you are shopping for a diamond do yourself a favor, research and read up in some diamond forums to get unbiased information. You need to decide what is important to you, do you care what the diamond looks like under a microscope? Will your significant other be carrying a microscope when she shows it to her friends? Maybe she will but I wouldn't get to caught up in that, you want at the minimum something that is eye-clean and that sparkles white even outside of the jewely store lights. Pay attention to what company did the grading on the diamond report, an EGL VS1 is not the same quality as a GIA or AGS certed VS1 stone.
The diamond industry is a racket, your stone will be appraised at probably double what you paid and that is standard. A good reality check is to see what you can actually sell a good diamond for on the open market. Give yourself plenty of time to shop around, I took 3 months when picking the stone and am VERY happy with my choice, and so is she
On to the point of this deal... I would stay away unless they have a really good return policy, thats a lot of money to drop on a total unknown.

one word: costco
try costco. i think their stuff is good quality and their prices the best.
have you heard the saying "never buy a drink from a urologist"? same thing here: never pay more than a $1000 for a diamond that is not rated and does not come with a certification from an independent source.
SI1, SI2 - small inclusions visible to the naked eye I - large inclusions, easily seen
SL1, SL2 Slightly included. The diamond contains inclusions that are noticeable to an experienced grader under 10X magnification. Inclusions are not noticeable to the naked eye without magnification in this category, they are at the I (Included) level.
