good luck bigsnake, the prices are normally dependent on the color clarity and cut.. ( i just got one about 1year ago) for swmbo. as a rule of thumb the bigger the better in her mind.. but also you want to find a nice compramise between size and color and clairty remember your buying a very overpriced rock.. if you go to a jewelry store go to the one with the ugliest women, some of these stores have some hotties and by the time they get done bending over, showing off their tops,etc.. its hard to tell what they can talk ya in to buyin
3 months salary, if you dont make squat, may be a life saver!!!

In my experience I would stay away from Jared or other chains that don't offer a GIA or EGL cert. A lot of the chains have their own "independent" certification group, which seems to me to be a conflict of interest.
Make sure you read-up and look at at least 5 different places before deciding.
Also if you can try to look at the stone in sunlight (they won't let you leave with it so hopefully they have windows) all the rocks in a jewelery store look great under the 3million watts halogena track lights they have....

Congratulations on your pending engagement, I wish you all the best.
That said, I'm going to be the party pooper and say diamonds are bull****. Spending gobs of cash on a rock that's not as rare as they'd like you to believe is nuts. Buy a simulate (Or a lab diamond as someone else suggested) and spend the money yousave on yourselves, not the diamond cartel.
Don't drink the DeBeers kool aid.
My fiance and I decided to go with a cheaper metal, its more about the commitment than the jewelry. (And she hates gold and diamonds, WOOHOO!) We bought a copper band for her and I made mine out of a copper fitting....
'Why don't you, just buy a fake and get it three times as big?'
True, she would never know.. but I would.
That is one of the coolest things I have heard!!! That is really creative!
