Remember the sex always dissipates after the 6 month mark.

I don't necessarily know what the settings are called, but I have seen enough pictures of what she likes to have a decent idea on the style she likes. She seems to be quite fond of art-deco and Edwardian style rings, and she doesn't like anything too "blingy" with too many diamonds all over it. She wants fancy metal work and a nice stone in the middle, (maybe some smaller alternative stones on the sides, but nothing too excessive).
She's very petite so I can't get anything too big or else it will dwarf her hand.

I have some friends that own a jewelry store. They make ring like most. They actually let me take 3 Diamonds for 2 weeks getting appraisals. The one stipulation was never let them out of my site. so they wouldn't be switched.
They have many diamonds being sold out there that are pretty to the naked eye but have tiny specs of carbon in them. These are what you need to watch out for. Even a tiny spec brings the price down 60%-70%.
Study the diamond so well that you will be able to tell if its ever swapped.

Let her pick it out. It will save you a lot of stress, money, and time.

mine was the exact opposite, she likes the solitaire stone and VERY simple band.

I only know what they're called from researching them.

GIA cert numbers are lazer etched into the crown of their diamonds and are visible under 30x zoom.

What to look for?
Obviously a "vintage" ring
What to avoid?
Jared, Zales, any other chain jewelry store (They are a ripoff and you don't want your SO to have the same ring as a ton of other broads)
What to budget?
That's up to you and what you are capable of getting. Bigger is always better. Don't let her fool you with the "I just want something modest" line. Even if they might actually want a modest ring, they wont say no to a big one. And will like it more in the long run.
My advice is to buy the stones at a diamond exchange or wholesaler and have a jeweler set the ring. You get more bang for your buck and she gets exactly what she wants.

This is good advise. The ones I had were not. But etched after she picked the one she wanted.

You should totally get her a diamond alternative. What's her favorite color? Get that color in an imitation diamond. She will like the fact that you saved money for future endeavors.
