Do you judge other women’s engagement rings?

My husband gave me a large family diamond. I judge all of you who have to go out and shop for one.

I judge your shallow character more than your ring OP.

I actually notice the smaller diamonds in a positive light and assume they have been married a long time/married young which I find very sweet. My sister's husband now makes close to 7 figures but 27 years ago when they were sophomores in college and dying to get engaged a .35 diamond was a huge splurge. She was give a huge upgrade right for their 10th. She wore it maybe 3 months and then went back to her tiny yellow gold ring. She said when she looked at her new ring she thought nothing and when she looked at her "real" ring she remembered that summer of college where they were obsessed with eachother and madly madly in love.

Sometimes when I see a woman with a tiny diamond I wonder how cheap her husband must be to not bother to get her something nicer.

The larger the diamond the more I think her husband wanted to impress her/ show his love. Also that he’s rich.

Sure thing

My ring is small AND not that attractive. My husband was pretty broke when we got engaged and has definitely upped his taste level in the past 20 years. But do I ever love that man, still, all these years later. Judge away, I don't care because I have the best marriage ever.

This. My engagement ring is a round diamond solitaire around .75 carats and is a high quality stone, but set in a yellow gold setting that seems out-of-style by today’s trends. Many new brides wouldn’t like it, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s what DH could afford as a young man and I love my ring - and him!

The priest that married is said:

The more bridesmaids in a wedding party, the bigger odds they will divorce.

The same has been said about women that demand a huge diamond. The bigger the ring, the less happy the marriage.

I’m 38. I got married 20 years ago. It’s not something I even look at or care about anymore.

Just like bottle vs breast fed or how old the kid was when he was potty trained.

Nobody cares decades later.

Yikes, you’re really dumb.

Yep. I judge your intelligence level. Do you really think less well-off men love their wives less? Do you think they should make poor financial decisions just to impress a shallow bitch like you?

Only once...A former colleague had a really small stone and seemed embarrassed by it herself - more than once she commented on her plans to upgrade one day. The thing is she insisted the ring come from Tiffany’s! She could have had something much nicer if she wasn’t obsessed with name brand.

I just hate blood diamonds and I think less of someone wearing them.

How the hell do you know if it's a blood diamond??

I don't have an engagement ring...I wonder what you think of me.

Also, I had misplaced my wedding ring for several months until recently, more judgment, I assume.

If I know they are struggling financially and spend big $$ on a ring I judge.
