I highly recommend BlueNile.com... I purchased a 1.1 carat, VVS, colorless diamond ring for my wife and have no regrets. She wanted platinum and I decided to get her a classic 6 prong setting (Tiffany and Co. style) I went with AGS certification (better than GIA) and the ring was graded triple 0... it doesn't get better than that. Her ring has the fire, brilliance, and specs. suitable for a Tiffany/Hearts on Fire diamond... yet cost 1/3-1/2 the price.
As others have mentioned, cut is perhaps the most important aspect when considering a diamond. At the end of the day, do your research, find out what she wants, and deliver...
