Is $1000 a fair price for this estate ring?

[happyday]

Hi all,
I am considering a purchase of this estate ring, but I do not know if it''s a good price.
I have always wanted a yellow gold bezel set ring, but don''t know if this is "the one".
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
THANKS!

Weight: 7.6 grams.
Stones: One .80 carat brilliant cut diamond and two x .15 carat baguette cut diamonds; totaling 1.10 carats of diamonds rated VS2-SI1 in clarity I in color. The diamonds are in excellent condition free of any nicks, chips, and cracks.
Measurements: The ring measures 18mm in width, 10mm in length and rises 5mm from the finger.

Oops,
Tiny picture and I can''t figure out how to get it larger...
Any input on this microscopic picture is still appreciated

Hi HD,

I''d personally love to help you out, but the photo''s just too small for me to make anything out!

Thanks HD,
I know, the picture is pretty pathetic...
I tried to make it larger, but because I already saved the cropped version, all I get is squares.
Well, if you can imagine, it is a flush set RB 0.8ct (I/SI1) with 2 baguettes flush set on either side (but not touching).
The band is 18K and size 4.75 (just my size).
Hmmmm.... well thanks anyway!!

I think I figured it out... is this picture any better?

Price seems low??

Hi happyday, I agree i think this seems like a Very low price - unless I''m missing something, i may want an appraisal to check you''re getting what you think?
otherwise I like the design and if you like it and trust the source, i say go for it!
Are you "in liove" with it? I wasn''t sure by your post?

I think it''s a really pretty ring - and the price seems good to me!

If you buy it & get it appraised, can you return it for a refund if it doesn''t check out? If you can, I''d go for it if you love the ring!

Thanks for your input... I agree, the price seemed so low, so I was hesitant to jump on it for fear of getting a piece of glass!
I spoke to the seller and he assured me that it was graded properly.
He said it was grossly underpriced, but he wanted to sell it quickly.
The prices of the other items he was selling seemed more in check.

As for the style, I wanted a bold look with a bezel or semi-bezel setting.
If I could change anything, I would want the bezel to be a white metal.

Thanks for your advice.
I got on the phone and spoke at great length with the seller.
He assured me that I could return it for a full refund if it is misrepresented or if an appraisal does not check out.
So.... call me crazy, but I went for it!!!!!

I paid for it yesterday and it should arrive by the end of the week...
