Well, I finally pulled the trigger. The ring I ended up buying was:
1.15 Carats, Color E, VVS2, Excellent Pollish, Very Good Cut and Symmetry. It was far from the biggest diamond in my price range but I liked the colorless aspect. Definitely glad I listened to some of the advice on :SNSign: here about going smaller with higher quality.
I set it in a simple Platinum Tiffany's Style 6 prong setting. I bought it at Barmakian's in Framingham, MA, which I recommend to anyone because its the only place I went to in person that didn't make me feel like I was buying a used car. They also gave me a coupon for 10 percent off of weddings bands and 30 percent of any watch in the store.
I hollowed out a softball and put the ring box in the middle. So when I was playing catch with my girlfriend (she was an Olympic softball hopefull at one point) I put down the regular softball and threw her the ring. Then I ran over, got down on one knee, did the whole classic thing in the middle of a softball field. She loved it, which was great, because I was pretty damn nervous!
So the next step is to get pre-approved for a house and as soon as that happens, I am getting back into the mustang game!
