Pp here. I checked and they make it with sapphires now.

For the record I have very long skinny fingers and hands like a spider. My ring size is a 4 something but I can use a men’s tennis racket.

OP here. I have the money to pay for it. I’m older ( 39) and make $300k/year. I have money saved and the cost is not an issue. She is financially stable and makes $120k/year.


I'm the exact same age and income as you (like, exactly). When I proposed I was making less (200k) and went with a 2 carat. Honestly at this point in my life and income I'd go for 2.5-3 carats. Just for the f*ck of it. All her friends and coworkers will be jealous. It's awesome. Ritani has some ~2.5 carat with reasonable specs (G, VS2, ideal) for around 30k


No. They will be sad that she has to put up with this kind of behavior for a cloudy two carat ring.


You're an idiot. VS2 won't be "cloudy". It will be indistinguishable to the human eye.

My MIL has short chubby finger and recently traded up to a 2.5. It looks ridiculous. Do you know what she wants? I met a woman who had the Jean Jean Schlumberger ring from Tiffany which she used in place of a wedding/engagement ring. It was really pretty.

I have the Schlumberger ring with emeralds and diamonds. (Don’t know if they make it with colored stones anymore.)

OP here. Yes. She has small hands. She’s 5’1”, 120lbs, and busty. She’s a great person and the sex is amazing.


5'1" 120 won't age well. She will grow out of that ring after the first kid.

People are still wearing diamonds?

I have a diamond ring (which I rarely wear) but if I could do it over again, I would pick a beautiful colored stone. I think more engaged couples are doing that vs diamonds.

Huge red flag. Buy her the 3 carat so when she leaves you, she can sell it and take a fabulous vacation.

The average stone size in the US is 1.1 carats.

If your endowment is below average, hers should be above.

It is inversely proportional.

I will never forget the 3 carat diamond ring my law school roommate got. Talk about excess! She could barely pick up her hand!
