Notes -
I think part of the value of an engagement ring is the very fact that is costs so much. You're telling your future wife "Yes, I am willing to basically burn 3 months salary to prove I am committed to you, in a way that you can also show other people in the future". If you see a great ring for $4k, then see an identical ring for $1k, you don't buy the $1k ring. You go and search for an even better $4k ring.
But it does also depend on your girlfriend. If she's a "rational" person, maybe she genuinely doesn't care much about that, and would just like a very pretty piece of jewelry. In which case find the prettiest piece of jewelry you can I guess.
