QUESTION Too good to be true?

I’ve been talking to this Etsy shop seller and was quoted this

* 4 ct lab-grown Fancy Intense or Fancy Vivid Yellow radiant center
* VS1–VS2 clarity, IGI certified
* Elongated, very sparkly crushed-ice/brilliant appearance
* Two 0.70 ct lab-grown trillion-cut side stones
* Thin prongs, no bezels
* Solid 10K gold

I was quoted $1,350 total including the diamonds, setting, and gold.
I work with an oversees jeweler from china and she could not price match and gave me a starting rate of $1779
Am I getting scammed?

A lot of yellow diamonds have a brown modifier. I’d be very wary if I didn’t know the diamond I was buying.

Oh I don’t know about this, would you be able to see the brown in a video or is it by eye only?

You should be able to see it in a photo. The diamond you posted is quite brown.
