The problem is that you are relying on the vendor for anything to do with the quality of the diamonds (and of the metalwork - which is not an insignificant part of the cost in something like this). You can bet your bottom dollar that the diamonds are at best I-SI3 (or I-I1, since there are no SI3 diamonds that GIA would call SI2), and most likely a lot lower in colour. However, you have no way of telling until you actually see the ring - the image you posted is a CAD rendering...
