It sounds like you have made up your mind to keep it. My advice is to stay off PS! I knew nothing about diamonds before PS. I didn’t even appreciate them. Now I obsess over my stone. I’ve traded it up a few times and each time, the loss I took really hurtfinancially. It didn’t hurt emotionally Bc hubby understands my passion and was very supportive. Neither of us knew any better for our first stone. There are many threads here about the upgrade journey, along with the regrets that arise about the first diamond. You are lucky that you have the information to avoid such a costly regret. Many diamonds—no matter how desirable—will lose at least 30 percent if trying to sell or upgrade. That’s a lot of money.
It’s true that you don’t know what the future holds. Kids. College for kids. Home. Etc. It’s easy to forget about the possibility of upgrading when you are starting a family. So upgrading may not be an issue anytime soon—-if you stay off PS! But don’t leave PS until after you post a smtb thread!
