This Depends on the clarity and color but I would say close to $5500.00 and up
I do not think my suppliers have this style but I will look around and see what I can find for you

Congratulations on your upcoming engagement. Tiffany won't sell the Lucida, or any of their other designs, without a center stone, so if you must have a Tiff ring, go to Tiff's and be prepared to pay the price. If a similar looking non-Tiffany ring will be acceptable, almost everyone has made copies of that design. You're specs are way to broad to give anything like a considered answer about a budget. For some people, 'very high quality' means D/IF/Ideal while others count a H/VS2/very good to be entirely sufficient. This gives you a range of more than a factor of 5, even without counting the Tiffany brand issue. Expect a budget of about $7k to close to $100k depending on what you want and where you get it.

Gemmarket,
What does the stone you're advertising have to do with the question? You might want to brush up on the forum rules..
Is this representative of what you sell as a VS2? Eye Appeal = Excellent? What grading scale are you using?

To the users of the rock
Last week I hired a person to go to the different forums on the internet and start an user name for my business The Gem Market, If that is if the forum had a Classifieds section that We could list in.
This Person was not supposed to steal any content nor break any rules in the forum. In fact in relation to this forum I was planning on asking questions of the professionals. Not posting answers.
Unfortunately this person took it upon himself to post answers on generally making a fool of The Gem Market. The password for this username has been changed and that person terminated from my company.
I pray the forum and its users forgiveness’ and understanding.
Thank you,
Willie Sims.
PS no Neil this picture does not represent that diamond. As I am sure you are aware you cannot try to appraise a diamond from a picture. Anything from a dirty lens to a shadow or reflection can affect a picture.

Re; appraising, I don't think there is much that you would need to remind Neil about regarding what he does for a living.
Glad to hear you pulled the keyboard away from the person that called the I-1 stone in the picture above a VS-2.
