How is this Oval 3ct IF?

How is this Oval 3ct IF?

The bow tie doesn’t really bother me but it’s definitely prominent it seems. I will be proposing with this diamond.

ADDITIONAL INFO

I have a large spend of $60,000 coming up for a fishing trip and was looking at the below two cards but I’m open to anything.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Business (200k point offer for $30k spend)
Amex Platinum Business (300k point offer for $30k spend)
Possibly interested in Bilt card if it makes sense given my rent is $7,000 monthly for ~1 year remaining before home purchase.

I closed my Amex Gold Business a few months ago after 1 year of churn. I also had the regular Bilt card which I did not renew after the new cards came out. My oldest card was a Chase Sapphire Preferred opened in ~2020 which I downgraded a few months ago into the Chase Ultimate Rewards card.

My primary card rotation is below:
Costco Citi for EV Charging
Robinhood Visa (Daily spend & Costco Warehouse shopping)
Amex Gold for groceries and restaurants

I value points more than cashback typically for business class deal redemptions and have the below point balances:
Amex - 758,000
CapOne - 188,000
Chase - 29,000

Best price for this diamond?

I’ve searched a bunch of websites but can only find this specific GIA diamond on Rare Carat. Would anyone know where I can find this at possibly a better price? Price on Rare Carat is $2,390

Does Amex still offer retention offers? I got one last year for the Amex gold after ~8 separate chats (finally received a decent offer on the 30th day). So far, I’ve chatted with them 4 times and haven’t gotten a decent retention offer yet.

I also have the Amex gold business AF coming up in a few days which I’ll truly be cancelling as it’s nearly useless except for the SUB.
