I have a few friends who are great but can be pretty superficial. I was excited about potentially using a sapphire to get engaged (and still am--still in the process of looking) especially since my bf and I do not have a lot of money since we recently graduated college. My friend was like "why are you settling for less than what you really want?" What I really want is a nice engagement ring to symbolize the fact that we're going to get married, not neccessarily a blinding diamond. I mean, of course I want the blinding diamond someday, but I feel like I"m being realistic while she thinks I'm "letting him off easy". It's hard to explain to her b/c her bf makes a lot more money, but he's also almost 30 and just got an amazing promotion while bf and I are only 24.
To be honest, I feel it's innappropriate at our age in our financial state to expect that. I dont want to put him in more debt and he's not letting me help pay.
Any thoughts?
