@Lady Chat   No, and I wouldn't.  As @nova   points out From the photo, it looks like the center is an illusion; that is, four very small stones that are supposed to appear as one larger carat weight stone unless you look closely.   I dislike that illusion.  Also, there are a lot of stones making up that one carat of diamonds - a lot of very small stones are not what I want when I want a one carat diamond ring.  I'm not into "trump l'oeuil" which is "fooling the eye."  I don't want to fool people into thinking something is more than it really is (content and quality).

Lastly, the few Affiinity diamonds I have purchased over the years I have sent back (and haven't purchased any in many years) for poor quality.  IMO you can do better for the money if you look elsewhere.

@Justice4all   Ooops - LOL - misspelled.  I haven't used that term in years.  It's French of course and let's clarify it has been around for hundreds of years.  

trompe l'oeil

/ˌtrômp ˈloi/

noun

1. visual illusion in art, especially as used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object.

   "look at the pillars and arches around the immense dome—they are trompe l'œil"

   • a painting or design intended to create the illusion of a three-dimensional object.

     noun: trompe l'œil; plural noun: trompe l'œils

     "she climbed up to paint a trompe l'œil over the brackets as camouflage"

They look pretty but the clarity is I2. Maybe if you decide to purchase, you might consider having a trusted jeweler appraise it.
