How would you price a ring of Dexterity +2?

I've decided I'm going to offer the player a chance to buy an amulet of natural armor AND Wisdom (combined abilities) that has the 1.5 multiplier on the Wisdom +2 ability, and he can then have the ring slots open for other magic rings.

Personally I would place this item at 8,000 to purchase. Mainly basing it off of the fact that you can wear 2 rings at once as opposed to a one slot item. If you look at Bracers of Armor +2 they are 4,000 to purchase but a ring of protection +2 is 8,000 to purchase. That is why I would place this item at 8,000.

Question: Why IS that? Why do Rings cost soooo much more than Amulets that effectively do the same thing? Maybe because you have 2 ring slots, whereas you only have one amulet slot? I dunno... anyone else have an idea?

As for the pricing of this item... I'd say it should STILL cost him a nice amount of cash... since it does two things, whereas the amulet would originally only do one. Also: I usually allow a small discount if they can get all the materials needed themselves, like getting the two magical items that have a relatively same effect as the final object, the material for the item, aaand anything else I might decide it needs....

Bracers of Armor offer an Armor bonus. Ring of Protection offer a Deflection bonus, which is superior. That explains the higher price.
