I work in a firm with some younger women who have recently become engaged. A few of my co-workers and I got into a discussion on diamonds. Many of them frowned upon spending more than a few thousand (less than 8k) on an e-ring. One (not knowing how much my ring cost) went on a tirade of how superficial people are who have expensive rings and why would anyone want to walk around with a 20k+ ring on their hand. I kept my mouth shut on how much mine was, but it made me feel really bad. Like I am some horrible person for wanting to have a nice ring. Funny though that those same people comment on how nice mine is and want one like it- if only they knew the cost.
I am 30 and in a little different financial situation and they are younger (23-3 and making less. Maybe they just don''t know how much good quality diamonds really cost. I know this conversation will come up again next week as one girl who just got engaged is coming back to work (after just being proposed to on vacation). Any advice from my fellow diamond obssessed PS''ers on what I should say or do when the bashing continues?
