[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All my friends with the biggest rings were the last to get married and have families in mid to late 30s.  So that’s what I think of when I see big rings.  I got engaged to my college sweetheart when I was 23 when we were dirt poor in law school and my ring shows it, ha.  I don’t care bc I can wear it everyday.  I know so many women with big diamonds that only wear for special occasions, and wear only their bands.[/quote]

I got married in my 30s and opted for a small ring for the same reason you like your ring from when you were 23. I didn't view my engagement ring as a showy jewelry item. I wanted it to fit in with other daily jewelry, like the delicate gold chain I wear with a small gold flower pendant, and my little gold hoops. I own and wear bigger, showier jewelry, but to me an engagement ring and wedding band are about having that reminder and carrying a little piece of my marriage with me whatever I do. I never worry about traveling with my ring or wearing it in bad neighborhoods or anything really.

I think for some people they think of it differently and like the showiness of a ring as a way to more loudly communicate their relationship status. Which is also fine. With lab stones, that look is now very accessible, which is great for everyone.

I do not think about or judge people for how expensive (or not) their ring looks. I have a small ring that was pretty pricy because we had the money and for me it was more about quality of materials and using a jeweler I really loved, but I am sure most people assume my ring was cheaper. It doesn't matter. The price of a ring is irrelevant to the commitment or love between the couple. That's a separate, practical matter that is none of my business.[/quote]
