Not reading all this. It’s your ring wear it if you want nobody cares. If it’s a poverty place people will think it’s fake anyway.

But question, is this that same 3 ct yellow ring a 10 year old post was bumped for?

Mine is 2 but old cut, so big and I don't. I would take it off if you apply for a job as a social worker. Just read the room.

Not if you're a person with so little self-awareness that you wear a 3 carat diamond ring.

I wouldn’t wear it. Less is more. Go get a 1ct fake ring and wear it for the interview if you must wear something.

Only morons would tout tiffanys rather than be embarassed for overpaying.


Words of truth!


I NEED to know why you revived a 12 year old post. This is super random.


I'll assume it's a bot. That phrase that could land nearly anywhere.

This could work in a different direction, putting upward pressure on the salary offer if the company wants to make their offer attractive enough that you take the job. An applicant of some wealth will not be enticed by a small salary.


No, it absolutely won’t work that way.

Some people notice large rings in a judgmental way. I once had a man blurt out "that's a huge diamond" in a meeting. Of course he had no couth, but I stopped wearing the ring to work. It wasn't that big (<2 carat), but I don't want to be judged one way or another. The ring says nothing about your job qualifications, and you don't know what others are looking at and thinking.

Unless, of course, you are in fashion or jewelry or some sort of profession in which a big ring is a plus. I would not think that business or biglaw qualifies.


And I wouldn’t work at a place like that judged me for something like this.

I drive a car that is 3x my salary I don’t care what people think. I wear nice shoes, nice jewelry and have designer bags, not ashamed.
