The first question you need to ask yourself is what kind of foundation do you want this marriage to be built on? If it is a superficial basis then go ahead and get the bigger bling bling. ----------------
The question she is posing is if the Tiffany name is worth the premium after finding out that there are better less expensive diamonds to be had.
You think it's worth it. I don't. And, fortunately my hubby knows my take. But, if he blindly went into Tiffany's thinking that they are the only place that has quality, I would question whether he thought the Tiffany name meant anything to him & also let him know it doesn't mean anything to me. In my case, I would return the ring, get a similar one elsewher & save the money for our future together. To me, that's the foundation I would want. Not some perceived bragging rights for where a retail purchase was made. Hubby would applaud my sensibility.
