[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Judging engagement ring size is very petty on the sliding scale of female pettiness.

When someone has a small stone, I assume they married young or had other priorities.

The larger rings used to be more indicative of something about the finances of the couple, but the advent of lab-grown diamonds makes it impossible to know.  [b]So now I just think those larger rings suggest a need to show off.[/b] But don't actually convey anything financial about the owner.

My local CVS has some decent-looking large diamond engagement ring knockoffs (odd that they sell them there...isn't it?).[/quote]

Hmm. There is that smugness OP's mom referenced. I just think those larger rings suggest the wearer thinks gems are pretty and that they enjoy sparkling jewelry. [/quote]

I just noticed a woman's large ring while she was checking out in the craft store this morning and my thought was "wow, that seems like it would get in the way for a lot of tasks". Like does it get caught in your hair a lot? Do you take it off at the gym every time? It's the same response I've had to super long nails.
I've never paid too much attention to jewelry, although I appreciate pretty pieces that are a style I like. I do associate a very very large with ring with someone who has money or wants to appear they have money, but it's not really a moral judgment, just an association.[/quote]
