Note that it's only 0.5 carat
total weight, divided over two (three?) stones. The cubic zirconia in the picture is a 0.25 carat, so who knows what they really mean. Either way, that's not very much diamond. One wonders about the diamond cut/colour/clarity. It seems to me that most of this ring's price is in the platinum band, with the diamonds being something of an afterthought. Mind you, the vendor a jewellery company, not a diamond company, so I shouldn't be surprised.
My guess is that you could have that done custom (if the machine-made band design could be replicated) for about 60% of that price, and get to choose the actual diamonds (and the cut, if you don't like the princess cut shown) that are included in the settings.
You may not get the
free gift wrapping, though!
