If you have a Van Scoy near you, head straight there.  If you don't
it's well worth the trip up to rochester.  It is right off of 390
at the jefferson road exit in the Cohoes commons.  

I went there for my engagement ring, and the poor sales girl spent almost
two hours with me explaining different quality of diamonds, different
cuts, different settings, and she NEVER tried to talk me up to a
higher price.  I got a beautiful diamond which my wife loves.

Another hint:  often times jewelers will try to talk you into getting
a higher quality diamond than you need.  I got one with a tiny flaw that
you can only see under something like 100x magnification.  If you
can't see it under 10x magnification, don't worry about it.  You can get
a very nice diamond very reasonably if you are not too snobby about something
nobody but a jeweler will ever notice.  

Good Luck!
