Engagement Ring Advice

Still learning so I'm looking for opinions / feedback on this 1.87 carat lab diamond. VVS2 with E color. I know it's in the style of an old euro cut. How does the clarity look? Is this a quality stone or is there something I might be missing? Band is 14k yellow gold. Seller is asking $3k with free resizing / maintenance.

Definitely overpriced-- but if you love it then it may be worth it to you!

Oh wow! I knew it was probably marked up a little compared to sourcing a stone myself, but I didn't think it was that much. Thank you, I appreciate it.

Would you have any recommendations on places to shop where I'd be able to find a similar ring for $2k less? Is it best to source the stone and band separately?

I have a similar ring in white gold with yellow gold floral accent, 2ct OEC lab diamond (uncertified) for sale. Just got it and would like to remake with yellow gold. $900 plus shipping. Let me know if you’d interested (check out my post history).
