So, Say she gave you the specs of the ring she wanted, you got the exact thing she wanted save for instead of a carat diamond, you got a 1.91 carat diamond.. The reason you got it is it looked nicer, and had a better fire/shine to it.. But the fiance is now pissed because you didn't get her what she wanted..
Personally I would leave her. Seriously if she's going to be pissed about a 0.09 carat size difference she's not worth my time and effort.
Read the image below and tell me what you think.
What would you do guys, if your finance threw a massive fit over the size of the diamond in the engagement ring?
I first learned how delicate this subject can be when we went to try on rings on a last day of vacation while we were at a high-end mall. It just happened to be convenient visit to Tiffany of all places lol. So already there is a premium cost. 2-carat was the first try on and a comment she made was it seems small. The jeweler disagreed, and I was like that's a good one, it looks great on you. I think the Yes, she has wider fingers and I get the comment but the two against on she felt a little reality set in. Of course can surely buy more than 2 elsewhere at a Non-Tiffany price but they have awesome platinum rings, and excellent clarity.
Nonetheless she had to take me the airport about an hour later because I had a business trip that week and I wouldn't see her again for a few weeks. We held hands all the way. She left a long voicemail a few hours later while I was on my flight, I didn't get it until I landed. She was sorry how bratty she seemed in the moment, she never had these moments before, nor ever had anyone that special in her life that was this serious, and how it was the best weekend of her life. A small part of it felt like she was scared that was going to be the last time she would see me. As being diagnosed with anxiety was always part of her life.
But yes, being grateful is a step that can be missed. I also don't think it's good marriage foresight to go in debt over carat differences. 1.91 versus 2 to me isn't a big difference unless it's not as fine. Lastly, who's to say cannot upgrade rings later. Especially if you know they are growing in their career and earnings potential.
Omg 😱!! Why in the world did he NOT get her the 2 carats!!! It’s the end of the world!! Omg 😳 😳!!! She is going to be soooo embarrassed if any of her gfs find out that she didn’t get her 2 carat ring!! That’s it!! It’s the end!!!
it’s a great way to find out if this is what he wants for the rest of his life…the sad part…some guys do go for women like this. It would be great to find out if this guy stay.
what would I do? Well…I was fine with a 1 carat…we went diamond shopping and he didn’t like the one carat…he insisted that it has to be bigger (2 carats) and perfect!! The jeweler told him it’s almost impossible to get a perfect stone. So we learned a lot about diamonds. He also didn’t like the setting I picked out. So we got the setting we both liked. I just let him made most of the decisions. I don’t like drama or fights.
I think if someone's this fixated on 0.09 of a carat, she is more interested in status and other people's opinion than she is the actual relationship.
Frankly I think it's bad to buy a diamond for a wedding ring. All you're doing is playing into one of the most successful social-engineered marketing campaign by DeBeors - who still own 80% of the world's diamond supply and created the "diamond ring" wedding industry decades ago after securing most of the world's supply.
She is just ungrateful because she was sold a story of some 8-figure-making Prince Charming who also has 12 inches and volunteers on the weekends while somehow having enough time to wine, dine and date her.
Women like this need reality checks and the reality check of a man realizing she is ungrateful and putting her in the dog house or dumping her will wake her up.
I will never understand why thats even that important other than to show off to others and probably get robbed. I don’t even want a ring with a center diamond. I like the look of the band alone. And yes my ideal ring is up there but i’d be more than happy with one that only cost 3 digits. I personally dont even like wearing stuff on my finger, so it would be around my neck for the most part but on my finger in public
My friend had a lot of arguments with her boyfriend who is now her husband and she told him, if you don't like the way I do something, do it yourself, don't get me to do it for you and than complain about how you do not like it. Tell her your budget and your buying availability and if she does not accept your terms, she can buy her own ring without consulting you or asking you to pay for it.
I picked out my own ring but only so I knew that it wasn't gonna snag on things and fit properly. Carats definitely wasn't something I was caring about
She’d be gone. Because that’s indication of why she’s w me, for money. Maybe it’s a test on his part. But yes she would be gone. It’s no indication of how much I love her. To me that means if someone else came around w more money, more status, chances are she’s going to leave me for this other dude.

I must be dumb or something, or really I just don’t know anything about diamonds …Is a 0.9 carat difference really that noticeable? She is definitely being ungrateful, but how could she tell?
She is super controlling. She doesn't like the ring and should give it back to you. You should then call off the engagement and go find a woman who appreciates you, not what size ring you give her.
I'm not sure. Personally I am not married and I don't like the feeling of tight rings on a finger so I don't know. However the way some women want a big rock, I for one would feel like, turn off. 😭
Wow, finding out what the marriage will be like was a stroke of luck. You dodged a bullet for sure. Even if she does not reymrurn the ring you got off cheap
You know, if someone asked for coca cola zero, I'd pour coca cola zero, not Coca cola vanilla. Kind of the same thing but not acceptable to be acting like an angry toddler in adulthood.

Honestly I've an engagement ring but now thinking about it I'd rather have a sports car. Really all you need is a wedding ring
If she threw a fit because it was too small I would tell her never mind, let’s not get married after all. I think we will be better as friends because I don’t want to marry a materialistic Karen……
