I work in a jewelry store, one that prides itself on being "The Value Leader". Our original owner went into business because he believed that EVERYONE should be able to own a nice piece of jewelry at an affordable price.
So, I can honestly say that $650 will buy more of a ring than you all think. We sell several two piece sets with 1/2 ctw total for $499... and although it wouldn't be MY choice, they serve the purpose just fine and don't look "cheap". Also keep in mind, many women with smaller hands prefer smaller carat weights because one carat or above overwhelms their finger.
Men are often EXTREMELY clueless about diamonds. They have no clue what's popular right now, or what the woman might want. It can be very difficult to sell a diamond to a man when he doesn't even know if she prefers princess, round, marquis, yellow gold, white gold, platinum.
BUT regardless of how much the ring costs, if you don't LIKE it, you don't like it. And I would honestly be bothered by the fact that my soon-to-be fiancee would pick a ring for me that I hated.
