Quick and Easy Buying Guide
Carat weight: 1 carat = 200 milligrams = 6.5 mm diameter. Doubling weight doesn't double diameter.
Diamond clarity: FL/IF/VVS/VS = super expensive, near perfect. SI = best value if you can check a photo for obvious inclusions (defects).
Color: D-G = colorless, expensive, only if you have money to burn. H-J = best value. Can go lower in gold metal settings than white metal.
Cut: Better cut ratings let more light into a diamond, making it sparkle more. Very important property, don't skimp here.
Set a budget and minimum cut (Premium). Go J color for gold and I/H for white metals. Go searching for SI1/SI2 clarity diamonds at James Allen. Pick a diamond with small/no inclusions. Choose a ring setting and buy it risk-free (60-day returns).

The Premium cut grading of this diamond is a balance between cut quality and diamond price. The H color of this diamond provides great value, since it is not one of the expensive premium color grades D-F. Weighing up the $40020 price of this diamond, make sure you consider whether any of the property qualities are excessive for your needs.
No diamond girdle property detailed for this particular stone - perhaps it has a "knife-edge" girdle meaning that the girdle has zero thickness. If you can see the diamond in the flesh or see zoomed in photos of the diamond (like the one for this SI1 clarity diamond), this is where the most valuable deals are to be found - finding an SI1 or SI2 stone which is "eye clean" is a satisfying experience that pays off in terms of money saved.
If you're looking at this diamond and considering whether to improve another property of the diamond not related to size, you may wish to reduce the 3.16 carat weight for this diamond to achieve that end.
