[SIZE=5]Go back to the Diamond District, but not on a Saturday as most places are closed on the Sabbath. A low clarity diamond wll look just as good as a slightly flawed diamond and it will be much cheaper.  They guy that sold me my diamond years ago told  me that the best way to ensure you are not getting ripped off is to buy an imperfect diamond. What you mgiht be sold as flawless may in fact be fracture filled. Make sure you get the stone GIA certification and understand how to read it. Once you buy the loose stone, shop for a nice setting sperately. It's work, but you'll save money.  After I made my purchase, I visited several retailers and all of them confirmed that i saved at least if n ot more than 40 percent.

I haven't been on blue nile for a while, but I know they are reputable as well as James Allen.  The majority of the diamons sold on the retail market are of the SI 1 & 2 and VS 1 & 2 grade.

The stone I purchased had a slight flaw on the bottom of the ring near the lower half of the girdle on the ring setting and was only visable with a stalwart eye piece. Good luck![/SIZE]
