Proposal Ring

Dear fellow forumers,

I wish to seek some advise from you guys, who have gone thru shopping around for a proposal ring or if you are an expert in diamond ring yourself

Based on the following specifications, is SGD2,500 / RM6,200 too expensive?
Diamond Carat Weight: approx 0.5
Color: F-G
Clarity: VVS2 - VS1
GIA certification
Cutting: Not too sure, but it's a solitare.
Shop: GoldHeart (Sinagpore)

What do you think the approximate price should be?

Also, is there any difference if I buy in Singapore or Malaysia?

Please feel free to give any other advise on what to look out for.
