In terms of cut, style, etc.?
I got really lucky--one of her friends gave me a printout of the exact ring that she wanted (she found out while they were out shopping one day, and her friend was getting engaged). I held onto that printout for about 8 months before I needed it, but it sure did help.
I also have a friend who works at a jeweler in Philadelphia. I called him, had him make it, picked it up a month later. Cost me about $1000. Probably cost the jeweler twice as much--it was a heck of a deal.
Three years later, she still loves it. More importantly, our marriage is a happy one.
The advice that she's marrying you, not the ring is good advice. However, do your best to get what she would like, stay within your budget, and plan a very special way to ask her the question. The effort counts for something.
Good luck.
Urby
