[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.

Oh, inb4 someone calls me fat- I'm a size 0 or 2. I have long slender fingers (ring size 5). This comes up on every thread about carat size. 2 ct is not gaudy! [/quote]

You seem a little defensive about your ring and like an incredibly insecure person, but....

that's great that you're wealthy and have wealthy friends and are so materialistic that you look at other people's rings and compare them to your own on the sly.  Really, really great. Good for you, OP. Like, really good for you.

(hopefully that made you feel a little bit better about yourself, sounds like you need it). And if your husband buying you a bigger ring helps you feel even MORE better about yourself, then go for it, by all means. Whatever makes you feel a little more confident in yourself, sounds good to me. It makes me sad that you're this insecure, honestly.
