Hi all,
I''ve been following Mara''s upgrade thread and can almost feel the excitement of having her bigger stone. I want to trade in my 1.23ct round for a 1.4-1.40ct round. Now I know everyone says upgrade in big steps but I could honestly not even bring up the topic with my hubby. Getting my 1.23 was one of those long stories (already a 2nd upgrade) you often read about here and when I''ve relayed a few PS upgrade stories to hubby, he thinks 2x is enough. It would not even be a question of $ but more like enough is enough. I stare at my rings all the time; they are like my kids, honestly. They bring me so much happiness, that only a PScoper would understand. I know 0.25ct doesn''t sound like much but when you look at your bling all day long, you can see the difference.
If I kept to this size, the price difference would be very minimal and.....would hubby even notice?? I know that sounds really wrong. I''ve just started back at work after a year off with my 2nd child. I''m not keen on working, am feeling quite lost really, incredibly tired and having a bigger stone feels like it would be something to aim for and I know it would bring me a lot of pleasure and justification for the busy life I''ve just embarked on.
Maybe I could broach it with hubby when the timing is absolutely right..like when hes bought a new car, closer to my b''day etc etc...I find with him, its better not to share too many details.
What do you think of the size difference?
Thanks in advance
