I need you experts'' help!!! Sorry for the long post.
Recently my beloved husband has agreed to let me get another ring to wear instead of my actual engagement ring. Background: We got married almost a year ago and I was very fortunated to receive a heirloom engagement ring with the center stone of 3.52 carat H VS2. I love my e-ring to bits, but I just feel uncomfortable wearing it daily. I am from an Asian country and I work as a civil servant, which is not that highly paid. More to that, due to my work, I travel very often for meetings and often to places that are not very safe. So for most of the time, I just wear my diamond eternity band and keep my e-ring in the safe. My husband often annoyed by this because most of his friends'' wife wear their 2+ carat e-ring on the daily basis, and often when we bumped into his friends accidentally, I would be the only person without the proper bling (kinda like a social status thing). I do love blings... but I also don''t want to send out the worng signal at my workplace.
Now, since it is almost our 1 year anniversary, my husband and I decided that it is a good time to solve this problem. We agreed to find me another ring that is not too blingy and at the same time doesn''t make him feel bad in front of his friends. So we are considering 2 options. Option 1: to get me a small, i.e. 0.6 - 0.8 carat pink diamond and a nice setting and Option 2: to get me a 1 - 1.4 carat white diamond and do a pink diamond halo. The reason we are going for pink diamond is because I love love love PINK. But I do not want to spend so much $$$ on a big pink diamond as we are planing on having a kid sometimes next year.
What do you think would be a better choice?
