Your only reliable answer will come from a pawn shop.
You may be able to achieve a higher loan amount if you know more about the ring. The particulars of the diamond -- it's cut, colour, and clarity in addition to its carat weight, plus the metal in which it is set and its purity, will all improve your barter position.
Your answer is best available at your pawn shop of choice.
A diamond is valued by its cut, clarity, carat weight and colour. A local pawn shop can look at your stone and give you a precise answer.
The pawn shop willing to buy the ring is the only one that can tell you what the shop can pay. If you have such a ring, best practices dictate that you pay a gemologist to evaluate the quality of the diamond and the metal, so that you have an idea of the fair market value of the ring before you go to the pawn shop. For example, today on Blue Nile you can pay US$9,369 or up to US$96,161 for a round cut, two-carat diamond, depending on its colour, cut, clarity and exact carat weight.
Ask the pawn shop, they will tell you how much they will pay you for the ring.
The value of a diamond depends on its cut, colour, carat weight and its clarity. A local jeweler can answer your question. A 12.5 carat ring has to be cubic zirconia. Such a high caratage is preposterous for a diamond engagement ring.

I just bought a 0.5 carat diamond ring w/ side stones (.251 carat) from ACME Jewelry for P140,000.00
Yes, you could pawn a 10 carat diamond ring. However, the shop would properly demand documentation that you were the true and sole owner of a stone this size. As well, you'd need to find a pawn shop that would be willing to loan you the several hundred thousand dollars that this stone could command.
A 4 carat diamond ring would be ridiculously expensive. In the $100K mark I would expect. If someone is showing you their 4 carat engagement ring, it is probably cubic zirconia.

A local jeweler can answer your question, since no two 0.5 carat diamond rings are exactly alike.
