OP here. "cheap" to me would be $1K-3K.

I was ideally looking in the 5k-8k range.

But after reading some of the posts and giving it some thought, I just don't care anymore. I want the guy more than the ring. So if I get a 1K ring, oh well.[/quote]

OP would you be open to other stones? I have a 2.5 carat sapphire ring that is insanely stunning and it was about 5k. We got it from dominion jewelers which is cheaper because they make the rings there. My ring is really big and beautiful, you could totally get something gorgeous there in the 1-3 range if you forego the diamond, that's the real money suck.

If you want the budget to go further, consider stones other than diamonds.  I've always thought of a sapphire engagement ring as being classic and elegant.  Also, hopefully you guys go for pre-marital counseling and work out some of the differences in how you see the world and how you communicate with each other.[/quote]

If it's truly about wanting a pretty ring, I second the recommendation to consider other stones.  I have a beautiful sapphire ring, and I love it so much more than a diamond.  It was also a much prettier ring than a diamond ring at the same price.  Diamonds are artificially inflated; other stones are much more reasonable.  [/quote]
