I am going to be engaged soon, and I am wondering the polite way to handle direct questions about your diamond size, and where you got the ring, etc. My boyfriend''s brother is also going to be engaged soon, and he tends to be a copycat with us. Whatever we have, he and his girlfriend have to have it too (even though they are older). I can usually handle it, but I don''t want my future sister-in-law having the same engagement ring as I do! The small jeweler we are going to has many variations of the same look, so if we tell his brother where we got it, he will no doubt go there, and then she will end up with a very similar ring.
So my question is, is there any way to get around telling people where we got the ring, without coming out and saying, we don''t want you to get the same thing, so we are not telling? The rest of his family will be asking too, I''m sure.
Also, how do you handle questions about your diamond size? I''d rather not tell people the weight, but I know they will come out and ask. Is there a polite way to avoid answering this question?
Thanks!
Julie
