Search the database of online sellers here by clicking on the 'find online jeweler' button at the top of the page. Even if you have no intention of buying online this will give you some useful competitive prices.

No, you will not be able to get your money back on resale unless there is a significant appreciation between now and your theoretical sale. Do not go into a diamond expecting to EVER see your money back. This is not an investment, at least not in the usual financial sense.
