US$5,000 is a lot of money. I spent A$8,000 (which is around the same), and it's a lovely ring.
Don't spend US$10,000. Personally I think that's just too much.
What you must remember is that the VALUE of the ring lies in the fact that you bought it for her, and what it means. It has no relation to the COST of the ring. These are two different things.
As Oscar Wilde said, the definition of a cynic is someone who knows the cost of everthing but the value of nothing.
If she loves you, a silver band with a cubic zirconium would be acceptable. She loves YOU, not your wallet... (at least we both hope she does!). In fact, spending as much as you can afford and no more is better than going mental. Just put some thought into it. What designs does she like? Silver, gold or platinum? Maybe even titanium (which is becoming popular).
Don't believe the deBeers bullshit about having to spend a lot of money. They are ripping you off.
