I've looked at a few sites, but they're all pricey. I've heard there's a 800% markup on jewelry and that I should haggle, but some stores that I've been in give me the same ol' story.
"We can't budge on price. These prices are set by corporate."
Where did you guys go (if you purchased online), and how much did you pay?

You know what they say. Three years salary.
And corporate based chain stores don’t haggle. You have to go to independent stores for that.

Purchased from a local store, so I could see the diamond in person. I also wanted a slightly custom setting. I'm not comfortable buying a diamond online.

Independent diamond broker in metry. Bought stone, then emailed him a pic from Adlers that she liked. His cousin "Moshe" did the setting, met him across bridge in mississippi to avoid sales tax. 1.5c heirloom quality for about 7k, another 1k for side stones and plat setting.
Appraised at Lee Michaels for 13k
ETA: found receipt and adjusted cost above. if you are in the new orleans area, I can post the guy's email for you.

I mined the diamonds myself in Africa.

Got a price from jeweler in India then used that price to beat up a local guy and get him down a lot. I know it was good price because I asked a family friend back home if he could meet it because I really wanted to get it from him instead but he said there was just no way he could get there.

Brilliant Earth. Got a lab created diamond. 30% cheaper than diamonds that are mined and more eco friendly. Jewelers can’t even tell the difference between the two.

That said I know people that bought their diamonds on bluenile.com and the like. The store I shopped from had an inventory of diamonds on their website so I actually shopped there before seeing the diamond in person.

Do your research and pay what you can afford. Don’t worry about what anyone else paid.

I got lucky
My wife's rich grandmother had these high quality 1.5c diamond earrings that she willed to my wife and her sister to be used in their engagement rings.
I still had to pay for the setting and some stones around the ring and on the side, but I want to say I paid $3500 for all that

bought from Pav and Broome in Gulfport. Picked out diamond and setting separately and had them "build" it. Seems can get a better deal that way. Paid 3000 appraised later for insurance at 8500.

I got a used one on eBay for $350.
I took it in to the mall and they gave me $1,800 trade in credit as long as I doubled it.
I bought a $3,600 1 carat ring with that
