Hahaha. I love how they word it like its so expensive! Its more than some peoples salary, they say. Yes that's true, just imagine paying for a nice one! Don't get me wrong, that's a lot of money... But a lot of money for a cheap diamond

$13,000 for a three carat??? Please tell me where..... maybe Jewelery Exchange. Won't that be a beautiful diamond!

Not me, I went for quality over quantity with my cut to order CBI diamond.

The information came from Ritani? The prices look really cheap....

Maybe it's supposed to be read that you can buy this sort or style of ring starting at $26 000K NOT that this actual 4 carat stone with 2 x .20 carat stones is that price...... Unless of course it's clarity enhanced then all guesses are off!!!!

Actually, if you use the diamond search at the top of this page, you can get a 4.26 carat, J, SI3 for around $16K. Just use the price heading to put the column in price order and voila! Plus it says excellent cut.

It's probably got an eye-visible inclusion, and the EGLISR cert may not be accurate, but for the purposes of the article, it would be fine. At over 10mm of size, it would be HUGE.

I love to play around with the diamond search, but it never seems to reduce the price on my dream diamond.
