Congratulations! I'd check out www.bluenile.com... Lots of information on picking a stone, etc. They also have great (unbelievable) service & their pricing was much better than my local stores.

Another vote for Blue Nile. I have been purchasing from them for years. Not one single complaint here.

You know - the average person can't tell the difference between a SI1 and a VVS1. So unless your girlfriend is one to run right down to a jeweler - you have options. And with Blue Nile you can pick your diamond, setting and your price.

Congratulations!

From my own experience, watch out for places that do specific advertising aimed at members of the military since many of them are predators and have predatory pricing and financing. The large jewelry chains are generally honest although you will not get the quality that you would if you purchased the stone and setting separately. Above all, congratulations and good luck!
