In hindsight, I actually wish I would have gone to them for the engagement ring too. Of course that's only because I'm a lot more confident having gone through the learning process and understanding a lot more about diamonds and the like (thanks to Spence).

Absolutely!
There is an impression that those little shops are exclusive, expensive, and snooty, but it is usually the opposite.
For the most part, you will get the same level of education from them as you would at a place like Spence, too... you just have to be willing to ask a question or two.
It is a very important pruchase. As Sylvan put it, you can probably get a downpayment on a house in lieu of the engagement ring... why leave that sort of thing to chance?
