I do not think brand name is important at all.  Why pay more $ for the brand, instead you can invest the money to get a better diamond.  And to me, the most important thing about diamond rings are the 4C.  And even with Tiffany, they do have the 1 time upgrade option, but I personally don't think its right to do it.  The engagement ring (or maybe wedding band), means a lot to me, its a symbol of us uniting into one, and I will never ever ever give my old stone/ring back to them, and upgrade for a better one.

4C are much important than name brand.  You can buy a really good quality diamond from a diamond broker and spend much less than a similar one from Tiffany.  Buying from a diamond broker, you can choose your diamond and ring style separately.   

This is what my husband did when he bought the engagement ring for me:  he bought a good quality diamond from a diamond broker.  He had the opportunity to see the "inside" of the diamond.  Then he picked a ring style which is similar to Tiffany's and asked the diamond broker put them together.  My engagement ring looks like the one from Tiffany but it has much better quality and cheaper in price.  Most of my friends, even a few sales reps from jewellery stores, thought my engagement ring is from Tiffany.  hahaha...

You can try www.jamesallen.com for engagement ring.  The actually post picture of the actual diamond online so this is an advantage over bluenile as you can view it before buying.

How much would/did you spend on an engagement ring? I heard that in tradition is around 2 to 3 months of groom's salary??

yeah, I think generally is 2 - 3 months salary... and most people spent around at least 6K for the rock now, diamond price goes up this year... it is cheaper for 20-25% if you buy the rock off from whole sale and asked a jewerller to do it for you .. .
