The average e-ring diamond is probably a .6-.75ct in my area, which is not rich. People change with time & experience, so it might be that after she has that .5 ct a while she;ll start liking diamonds and she'll be used to wearing a ring, and she'll want something bigger. So, buy from a vendor that has a good upgrade policy in case she gets buyer's remorse. I got engaged in my early 30s and didn't know what I wanted in a ring. But getting a diamond makes one more interested in learning about them.
I'd go for cut and color, but clarity is lowest priority. If you can't see the inclusions with unaided eye and they don't affect brilliance, then SI1 or even SI2 is good enough. I spend money on what shows, and clarity "shows: the least, because it has to be inspected up close.
