Jealous Greedy Guilty ME

You know what all that matters  is if you love your ring. I was in the same boat so of my friends and co workers we like you should have a bigger ring. Mine is almost a 100 years old it's my fis Great Grandmothers and I had the choice between that or a brand new ring and I said I would be happy with either and I was greatful that he considered giving me his great grandmas ring

[QUOTE]In Response to Jealous Greedy Guilty ME : I have a few thoughts on this: 1.  <b>There is very little difference in size between 1/5 carat and 1/4 carat. I doubt that anyone but a jeweler could really tell the difference. To the untrained, naked eye, they will both look like what they are -- small diamonds. I don't think you'd get enough bang for your buck by paying $100 more for a diamond that will look about like the one you have</b>. 2.  Wanting a larger diamond just so you can impress someone is not a good reason to upgrade your ring. 3.  I think it would be very insulting and hurtful to your fiance if you suggested that you're unhappy with your ring. 4.  It doesn't sound like the two of you are in any financial position right now to buy either a new xbox or a new diamond. Seriously -- one is a toy and the other is a bauble (a bauble with meaning and symbolism, sure, but a bauble nonetheless). Let us know what you decide!

I agree with this. How did you find out it was a 1/5 carat? For me my FI and I were debating on a 3/4 carat or a 1 carat. And I told him I want him to decide I don't want to know what he picked because it is all his choice. I've never been one to sit and compare diamonds so when my FI popped the question I really did think my ring was a 1 carat until a friend was looking at rings and we compared mine to the 1 carat at the store. Does it bother me that it's not a 1 carat? No!

Point is....if he didn't tell you it was a 1/5th would you have loved it just as much as a 1/4th carat? Probably, because you wouldn't see a difference.

I love my ring and that's what matters, no one else's opinions matter to me.
