It's brilliant (and I don't mean the cut). They're probably getting that much in publicity out of it alone, and some rich schlub with a trophy wife is sure to snatch it up.

It took the team at Shawish a year to carve the dazzler (understandable) — and don’t even think about trying to make a copy of the design; it’s already been copyrighted. This baby is expected for sell for a low, low price of $70 million.
a rock with a finger shaped hole in the middle of it is copyrighted?
because im sure they were the first to cut a hole in a rock and sell it....

That ring is indistinguishable from cut glass to 99.9% of people including whoever the hell buys it.
Why do people waste their money on "precious" stones? Buy a fake stone that looks the same and a new gaming computer with the money you saved.

light passes through a diamond. a real diamond will appear clear when held up in the light.
cut glass wont. im pretty sure cubic zirconia doesnt either.

It's hard to buy something for someone who has everything.

Do you care about that distinction?
How much time do you spend holding diamonds up to the light?
