My fiancé and I have been shopping for wedding rings lately, and we''ve been in several different "maul" stores. I have not once had a saleslady compliment my engagement ring when we are trying on bands! Sometimes they even ask to see it and then don''t say anything at all.
My diamond outshines anything they''ve got in the store (hey, we''re talking about the mall here), and I''ve had sales girls comment on way less expensive jewellery that I''ve been wearing (locket, bracelet, promise ring...). So what gives?
My fiancé and my mom say that it''s because people might assume it''s not real. My diamond is a well-cut carat (H&A), which is a respectable size, but it is not so huge, in my opinion, that it should cause people to doubt its authenticity.
Is it my age? (I''m 23). Am I too young to be sporting such a diamond in these people''s minds? Or what?
Has this happened to anyone else? What is behind it all?
