Tiffany & Co Princess cut Engagement ring?

Just wondering if anyone knows how much the Princess cut solitaire Tiffany & Co engagement rings cost. Please tell me the diamond size along with the cost (in australia) Thanks heaps! pretty sure I cant afford on but just need to know.

I know people love Tiffany’s. However you can get the same type of thing but nicer from a smaller jeweller who hand makes their own rings. That’s what we did and I couldn’t be happier. Mine is a copy of the Lucida design:
