I bought my wife's engagement ring for about $750 eight years ago. I was a month out of college, and it was a 1/3 carat marquis cut. Her wedding band wraps around the ring and adds two small diamonds to flank it, making the entire set look a little larger and more elegant. Get a slightly better stone, even if it is smaller. Her sister got a stone the same weight, but it was broader and flatter, and it did not sparkle as well. Someday, I will buy her a channel set diamond ring, after she finishes nursing school. Until then, I will pay her education.
