I agree. I got engaged ~15?years ago and we spent a pretty penny for a modest (1.25 ct) ring that I still love. But it was $$ because it was a mined Diamond. Would have loved getting something bigger for less money! I think about how much of a waste it was now

Yellow diamonds look like they were soaked in urine.

I don't judge because why would I? If it's big and pretty I notice, if it's big and ugly I notice but otherwise I don't pay much attention.

No. Never wear mine actually; just wear my simple wedding band which I love.

Is obvious this thread was started by somebody who just wanted to stir stuff up, but I'll play. I notice rings, but no judgment, whether it's big or small. My own ring is less than one carat and on each side is a small sapphire. I love my rank. But, I very rarely wear it. I typically just wear my very thin band wedding ring. I only wear my engagement ring if I'm trying to be a little bit more fancy for like a party or something. But day to day. Never wear it.

I do think it's interesting to see how many women I know who bought a second, much bigger diamond later in the marriage to replace their original ring.

It's part family heirloom/part reset. I did not wear it much in my 20s but now in my 40s I am enjoying it daily on my right hand. My wedding band is a Cartier Trinity Classic.


You are so insecure that you dug up a 3 year old thread just to boast about you 9ct heirloom ring that you wear only on your right hand

I think a lot of the posts on here are social media marketing campaigns, probably by bots.

How do you define high net worth?


Net worth’s over $25 million.


Um, no. There are recognized standards for this and yours clearly isn’t it.

$25 mil works for me. And most people who have ever lived on the planet.

No. I like big rings. But I don’t like to wear them so I told my husband to not buy one for me. ( I had one, a cheap small one, and I lost it, lol. So no more)

No. Maybe it I am constantly sitting somewhere with them where I see their hands (meetings) or they are unusually large, I will notice but I don't really draw conclusions about it.
