Anyone have $30k - $50k to spend ?

[missymoo]

I've been looking at this beauty for awhile and wondering what price it will end up selling ....

Any specifications on those diamonds? What size and color?

I think it will be more than 50K, I vote for 100K easily.

$29k but that is without the premium. They say it's a min of 8 ct - but the measurements make it look like more.... Here's the listing,:

HOLY COW!! that was a steal!

I just realized it was $36k once the premium was added in. I've been looking for a really nice solitaire and don't think it will ever happen this way!!
