Buy it from a pawn shop; then have it reset to her liking. Take the old setting and have yourself some new toe rings made, your old ones are getting too tight.
Go to Art Jewelers in Woodstock. They custom make anything and know the biz better than D Geller and all them other places. 4th generation jewelers. Plus tell Andrew “Uncle Scott” sent you and to take care of you. They are great folks! Seriously!
Diamonds doesnt matter where. You can buy them online. Go with a reputable online and cheap overhead place.
Here are my 2 cents. Diamonds will double in price every 12 to 15 years. the most common will be the SI1 or SI2.
Anywhere else, you will be paying for the overhead.
Since you are getting a ring, it will be worn...dirty and not shine. So high quality (VS1 or VS2) is not necesary. It's better to get one with a higher color like DEF GHI.
It matters not where you get it...it only has to be a GIA certified is my opinion.
For an engagement...its better to get a larger carat (wow factor with her friends) than a higher color.
Again...none of this matters after you get it...as long as she wears it...it will not shine as the day you saw it at the jeweler

DON’T DO IT!
I had good luck at Kay. 0% for 2 years didn’t hurt either.
And if you are looking for a decent investment...you cant mount it. It has to be a loose diamond. In that case, get a VS2, DEF, excellent cut of anything more than 1 carat.
