How do I purchase a ring in the next month with absolutely ZERO experience in the realm? Expecting great advice here. Make roughly $120k/yr, since I'm sure I'm about to be asked what my budget is.

Blue Nile. She won’t know the difference between a $30k ring and a $15k ring. If she does, you have bigger problems on your hands.

Regardless of what they say, size definitely matters.

Buy a decent, practical ring and save the money. Revisit the idea of an expensive ring 10-15 years down the road if she turns out to be an actual keeper.

ETA: This is a 100% serious answer. If she isn't okay with it, save yourself some time, money, and heartache by moving along now.

Stick with a lab grown diamond. It’s half the price and she won’t be able to tell the difference.

As a woman, I don’t understand spending a fortune or jewelry or accessories. $4,000 seems plenty expensive.
