I assume anything brand named like Tiffany or Harry Winston will cost around 20k?

damn diamonds are so expensive!

Also, what happens if the ring doesn't fit the finger? or the style is not what your SO is looking for? worse case scenario, what if she says NO? any refunds? lol

Just surveying here since we are on this topic.
With regards to ring sizing, most people I know would just "steal" a ring from their gf and bring it to the jeweller to get sized that way. They can usually make small adjustments for sizing after with no problem. I bought my diamond through a diamond auction, and got a custom setting made at Ragnar jewellers. They made a wax mold of the ring and got my wife (gf at the time) to try it on to ensure accurate sizing. Obviously that takes away a big chunk of the surprise of the proposal, but we had already been talking about marriage for awhile at that point. She still didn't know when I was going to propose, and the design of the ring (she was blindfolded), so I still managed to surprise her when I proposed
