Do you judge other women’s engagement rings?

| Wow, 16:20 and 16:22 (obviously the same sad person) is incredibly bitter and it shows! |

This is so comically pathetic. Tell us how very much you care about this without actually telling us... |

| No, but if you do, you might be making wrong assumptions. A real 1 carat that was popular in the 90s cost more than the now popular 2 carat lab-created stone. |

| I assume anyone engaged in the last 2 years has a lab stone. Also, the upgrades of some friends and colleagues I also assume are labs. |

| Nope. I don’t judge. Sometimes I admire a nice ring, but I don’t negatively judge any rings. |

+1. Likely significantly more. I don’t judge by size and rarely notice a ring unless it’s a unique stone or has a really eye catching (in a good or bad way) design. I do also tend to notice emeralds as I absolutely love a simple emerald solitaire ering. |

| I judge people for even wearing a diamond engagement ring. Antiquated, patriarchial, showy, dumb, and not ethical. There are so many better ways to spend money. Pay off debts, buy a house, use it for education- your life. |

+1 My engagement ring is a Tiffany’s solitaire, a bit over one carat. I did not care about having any certain kind of ring, I’m just not into diamonds and cannot tell one from a CZ. I wanted to kill my husband for spending the money. My friend’s ring is twice the size and really eye catching but was significantly less expensive then my mine. Her ring is dazzling and eye catching, much more so than mine. |

I am familiar with a woman in her fifties who is repeatedly complimented on her diamond. It is a beautiful design and setting. People have asked her who the design is from, and she always answers that it (the ring) was in the family and she just altered it a bit. She owns a business, has satellites in three states, and most assuredly is wealthy. After 5 years of working for her, and after a couple of drinks, she confessed to two close confidantes, that her ring was glass. And it wasn't even an expensive fake- a cheap crystal in a low quality gold setting. It wasn't worth more than 20 bucks, if that much. Why? When she was married, 20 years prior, they had no money, so she bought this for herself from a street vendor as a joke with her fiance and just kept wearing it. She is now a multi millionaire, and can buy whatever she wants. She said she will never replace the ring, which has held up pretty well all these years because it just isn't worth it and she actually loves it.
She is one of the smarter women I know. |

| I judge ridiculously large rings. Been married 27 years and still love my 1.52ct pear shaped diamond. I’ve been offered an upgrade but don’t see the point. I’m fine with what I have and half the time, I just wear a diamond and sapphire band. |

PP needs to state their case in short declarative sentences and not repeat the use of a certain word like "dumb" because this shows their are not educated. besides no one cares what she thinks. She can say "Americans are dumb" as long as she wants. My 20 year anniversary gift is a 4.7 emerald cut diamond with large emerald cut side stones. VVS. F. Yes, my husband loves me a lot |
