[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy the ring you want to buy. I bought my wife a 1.8 carat ring and we have not yet met a friend or coworker with a larger one. We make good money and could have easily gone bigger but I’m really glad we didn’t. There have been several awkward moments where one or the other of us has felt like it is too big or showy (eg her bosses boss has a smaller ring)[/quote]

What?!

My ring is 2.5 ct and it's on the smaller side when compared to others in my circle. But we don't go around comparing, it's just something I've noticed. It also really has no bearing on income or wealth. How could there be awkward moments? I think you're imagining this.

My next ring (upgrade) will be 3 ct.  Five year anniversary coming up so maybe we'll upgrade for that.

Yes, you do silently compare if you notice your ring is smaller than your circle of friends. You must be young and materialistic because as you age, diamond size doesn't matter anymore. I have a 1.5 ring and could have upgraded a long time ago but I love the ring my husband proposed with 25 years ago.

Word. I can’t imagine upgrading a ring and losing all the great memories and emotional attachment to the original ring. Doesn’t make any sense. That PP also said the awkward feelings must be imagined. Umm feelings are always imagined, they come from our own brains. So yes, feeling awkward is subject to each persons internal thinking [/quote]
