[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]

What ring is embarrassing? My ring form 200 is nearly identical to my mom's from the 60s. It also looks just like the one on the cover of one of the main bridal magazines in 2000. Why would anyone be so insecure as to be embarrassed about their rings?[/quote]
