I purchased a antique style engadgement ring in platinum. The center stone is a 2carat oval diamond in a pave setting with 1carat of diamonds. My wedding band is 1/2 carat so ctw of 3.5 carats. Total cost for ring and wedding band $15k all in platinum which was an amazing deal! And, at the high end, $3,500 to $5,500 buys a high-quality one-carat diamond set in 18-karat gold or platinum, such as this princess-cut diamond solitaire ring from BlueNile.com.
