Gut feeling ... yes, too high.

The price may not be all that bad if it is a really nicely cut stone (nice faceting, good light return, etc.).

You can check Jewels by Grace and love Affair Diamonds (there stones are nice but I cant tell anything about the one in your ring).

Here is something from ebay for comparisons sake...these are not GIA certified though (EGL, I think)

Can you see inclusions? Where are they located on the stone?
