Shoulda asked me (not that I said anything) my family has a jewelry store.
As for Steve-o's comment...
Debeers controls 52% of the market now, less than ever before. And with the online e-tailer (read my next big project, shhh) diamond prices are coming down dramatically. Russians, and Canadians are also big in the market now. Plus you have to remember ever single facet is painstakingly cut, and considering most diamonds have upwards of 60 facets, that's a lot of work into each stone.
And the deal with platinum... well when you get a platinum ring you're getting a chunk of platinum, 14k gold is roughly 50% pure, and Platinum is also much much heavier per volume, so you'll wind up paying a helluva lot more for a platinum rig than a gold one.
hey, what is that like a 2.5-3 carat stone?
