     How much can I expect to pay for a diamond engagement ring  

First of all I would like to thank you for the advice. I am new to this stage in my life and I do not know a lot about rings. I have done some research, and have picked up a few ideas.

Lets get to my question:
I ran across a local jewelry store that is going out of business, and they have 70% off a platinum diamond engagement ring. The ring is simply amazing, and I checked the clarity and color of the diamond. Here are the specs of the diamond:

.40 carat diamond
SI 2 clarity
I color
The price of the ring was originally $3,000 and it was marked down to $900.

This seems like a good deal to me, but then again I do not know a lot about this topic. Would the store mark up the original price to make the sale look better or is this a good deal?

Please excuse any mistakes in my typing because I do not know a lot about this subject.

Thanks so much for your time and help,

Brian

Brian, what shape is the diamond, and is the setting a plain 4 prong platinum ring.

Brian, $900.00 is a little below retail, if you like it buy it. Good luck
