I agree with this. If you figure a 1 karat diamond (flawless and colorless)
itself is worth about $2500 place in a setting of platinum the ring should
be around $4000 - $5000

Uhh, I think you mean a bit more than 45,000 ... considering the current
exchange rate, that would be 375.49 US dollars.

I would expect a really nice ring to be a few hundred dollars more, or
even in the thousand-dollar range.  One thousand dollars converts to
119,843.96 yen.  There's a million yen on the card, so this shouldn't be
a huge dent in it.

PS: To do the conversions, I searched google, and found:
