It's a modest 3/4 karat with 1/4 karat worth of little diamonds embedded in the ring itself. We can always pimp it out later if I get a better job or whatever
But yeah, what's the point of getting a $15,000 ring? I just never understood that. Diamonds aren't even rare. This is just what De Beers wants you to think so you spend a fortune on them.
