I just bought one recently, they all drop at least 10% off the list price without any haggling at all. When I bought one he dropped 10%, I said "most places seem willing to drop 15%", he then gave me slightly more than 15% off to round it off, it was as simple as that

The same as myself. OP it may also depend where you're shopping. I didn't have a clue and was lucky enough to have my now wife pick it herself. The jeweller and myself negotiated with no messing about. It's worth a try. The cash you save can go towards the honeymoon.

Be careful, OP. I lost a good drinkin' buddy there a few years ago. Got his finger stuck in a ring...
