I've decided to propose to my gf of about 3 years and have started the ring-shopping process. I'd like to spend $2000 max and want a ring between 1/2 and 1 carat. My questions are...
1. Are big box stores (Kay, Zales, etc) decent places? I found a nice 5/8 carat ring at Zales for $1100 including their lifetime care plan and the diamond looks good but I still wonder if I can get a better deal.
2. Are there any good tips when visiting local jewelers to knock the price down a bit? I went to a couple this weekend and the prices were about the same as the bigger chain stores while the quality didn't impress me as much.
Any other tips and suggestions are welcome!
