I was lucky enough that I got set up with a jeweler that was a friend of the family, someone who wasn't going to take me for a ride. I was able to get a nice diamond for my wife without mortgaging our financial future.
I do think it's funny when people go on and on about the size of rings. Just because a diamond is big doesn't mean that it's necessarily a good diamond - there are a bunch of other factors involved.
That, and if you're that obsessed with the type of ring you want, there may be other underlying issues...
