[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of like how one PP mentioned that a decade ago her small ruby and yellow gold ring wasn’t necessarily cool, I think there is a stereotype of gen X women with platinum engagement rings with large diamonds who were traditionally “cool” or trendy a decade ago. It looks dated now.[/quote]

I agree with this but it’s only partly about the material/color. That ring from like 2000ish to 2015ish (you know what it looks like) is embarrassing in a way that having a ring that is “off-trend” can’t be. It just marks you as a bandwagoner. Also, the “it” ring from this era is really showy, too, so it sticks out. To me it’s kind of anti-style. It’s like “I I don’t have taste at all, I just saw a ring on tv/in rom coms/in magazine ads/on my friend, and decided that was my dream too.”[/quote]

Have you seen the current trends?  Your post reeks of the trendy “other generations suck” attitude which is naive and immature. I’m guessing you’re not old enough to have friends getting married now.  Because as ALWAYS, there are trends.  Right now it’s 2-3 carat center stones with a halo on a thin band.  The upcoming trend is thick and stacked again like….gasp…the 90s.

And newsflash, a lot of men make this decision on their own. Fewer with each passing decade but yes, they still do.  Insulting men who, with great pride and care, picked something for someone they love is an ugly look.  Much uglier than following a trend.
