You'd be surprised how many of us are in the 25-35 demographic.

The Black card is only for famous people and trust fund babies. The fee's for the black card are ridiculous.

The markup on diamonds is insane. My g/f works at a middle market jeweler and she can get a $5000 ring for close to $2000 her cost. I don't think you can haggle at Costco, so unless their pricing is already aggressive, I think you can get a better deal in an actual retail outlet where you can fight for a better deal.

^ this.

We went to a higher end custom ring designer and got quoted just over $2k for a custom wedding band. A bit (way) out of our budget. Next we went to a diamond wholesaler/jeweller, and price for the same ring/gold/#diamonds was about $1300. Not bad, but still looking for a better deal. Got a hookup with a goldsmith who would have been the one making the actual ring for both above scenarios, $450 cash and carry. Done deal--spent the savings on our honeymoon

When I was shopping for an engagement ring, Costco had pretty good bang for the buck esp. for the specs, but not as much selection. But if you go into the jewellery stores during their big sales and clearouts, you can get a better rock for a better price, and usually get some sort of 1 yr free financing too. Just do your research and figure out what rough online market value for a rock with your similar specs is worth. Stores like Birks, overkill and paying a huge premium just for the name IMO. Spence was pretty good overall, but if you know what you are looking for, you can still find better deals.
