These add up to about 27 million . " 27 million dollars ? That meant she'd still be three million dollars short . Anathea frowned . " Can you go any higher ? This ring should be quite valuable . " " There's no doubt the diamond ring is valuable , but as the width of the ring , band is pretty small , not many people will be able to wear it . Eight million is already quite a high price for it.
