[quote=Anonymous]I was once driving on a work trip (a few hours in the car) and she said “can I ask you a question?” When I said “sure” she said “why don’t you wear a bigger rock?”

I told her there were a bunch of reasons including that my husband was a graduate student when we got engaged, I don’t really like wearing large jewelry, and that I had different priorities.

My DH was actually confused when he bought me a ring 15 years ago and proposed with a wedding band with inlaid diamonds. So when we got married we picked out the 2nd ring - a more traditional engagement ring - together. I tried on many in the $1000-$2k range and ultimately fell in love with one in the estate sale section of the store that was $750. What’s more, it fit perfectly and looked like it went with my first ring. People can’t believe they’re from completely different stores. I am too sentimental to upgrade and it wouldn’t be my style. I do judge my coworker for being gauche and asking me about it. (On the same trip she had designer shoes, handbag and suit and made fun of my Ann Taylor suit.) I’d rather put money toward housing, kids’ college, retirement, and travel / shows / experiences. [/quote]
