[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those with big rings (1.75 carats or larger) are they even high quality diamonds? From my previous engagement to my ex, back in 2008 I knew that a 1.2 carat ring with a diamond of high quality would easily break $10K.

It's absurd when people have something that's 2 carats. No way it hell it is a high quality rock. The stone itself would easily be $20-25K [/quote]

Why do assume people don't spend that much? Some spend 40-50 k.[/quote]

My original ring was about $2500.  After 15 years, I got a new ring with a 3.4 carat, very high quality diamond.  The diamond alone was about $30,000, the band was another 15K.  I did love the ring; it was truly beautiful.  I would have never agreed to spending that much money on a ring -- he bought it secretly because he knew I would flip out if I was involved. I would often flip the ring to the underside of my hand, so that it couldn't be seen.  It felt ostentatious and a little vulgar much of the time.

I later learned each time my exDH got me expensive jewelry over the years, it was directly related to when he was having affairs.  I am now divorced and single.  Happily, I'd say that, for the most part, divorce agrees with me.[/quote]
