Get one with 2 carats or bigger. I got my wife a 1 carat wit good clarity and cut. But it looks tiny now.

I'm in the market, too.
Is there any reason to go with 14k over 10k gold?
Any reason not to go with szul.com? lol
How does 10k degrade? The only thing I've seen about the difference is that 10k is more durable, but might cause a reaction if you're allergic to the alloy.
Terrible advice unless he has big bucks. And, as it has been implied there are definitely price constraints. Any ring you get larger than 2 carats that we can assume to be in his budget will look like total crap in regards to cut, clarity, and other metrics.
Here is what I got for $10k:
Shape - round
Carat - 1.01
Cut - very good
Color - D
Clarity - VS1
If I had to do it again I would drop the color down to G, drop the cut down to good, and keep clarity the same to make up for the price for 2 carat plus $10k more.
I don't know what the OP's budget is, but less than $10k won't get you anything decent.
Oh god, get prepared for the 'diamond is just a worthless rock' crowd (it's true yes, but ATOT sometimes get carried away in the typical antisocial fashion in their delivery)
Save the receipt. My coworker had his house robbed and state farm is only covering 2.5k (i think. might be slightly more). they actually cut him a check but now they're asking for receipts for stuff even the wedding ring, which was purchased 6 years ago. He said he bought it for 10k.
I like Costco for jewelry. My last three purchases were from there and my wife is very happy with it. With anything at Costco, you're guaranteed to get a fair price and not get ripped off. It might not be the absolute best deal but you get the convenience and Costco guarantee.
As for the ring, size matters.

this, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of love
When I'm out and about with my wife and her friends, I feel bad when some of them have a bigger diamond than her.
