Luckily for my fiance (err pheonsay?) I'm the same way. 3 months salary just sounds insane, I wouldn't want him to waste that much money. That said, mine was a lot more than your great bargain $130. He got my ring at a store that lets you bring it back and exchange the band and/or diamond for something else - that is, something the new fiance actually likes as opposed to whatever he picked out - and the one I picked out turned out to be cheaper than the one he got as a temporary one, even though he expected to pay a lot more. So it worked out. But in general I would recommend going to a store that allows you to exchange the ring just in case ... if she looks disappointed when she gets the ring, just tell her it was a temp and go get a bigger diamond!
I would have been happy to get even something like this from my future husband:
