I'm a new poster to this forum, but I've been thinking about this issue lately. I'd LOVE to get a 9mm-ish OEC. It's not possible for me right now, but if I continue saving it would be feasible within a few years. The problem is that, although my social circle consists largely of 30-40-something professionals in a major metropolitan area, some of whom sport awesome bling, there are a lot of people in my real life who would look askance at such a large diamond ring. Including my extended family. I know that the feeling of most people here is that you should just wear what you want and not concern yourself with what other people think, but honestly I have trouble doing that! I'm worried that people judging my ring (or rather, judging me for spending my money that way) would diminish the pleasure I take in it. And this dream OEC doesn't "fit" with the rest of my lifestyle--I'm fairly frugal overall, buy inexpensive clothes, wear jeans and flats, do a lot of outdoors activities, and in general live life toward the crunchy end of the spectrum. But I love bling! This is clearly not a life-and-death problem, but I don't want to make this OEC a goal of mine only to end up... uncomfortable wearing it. Surely others here have dealt with this issue. Any advice?
