Hi all!
I have no one to talk about this issue with so I thought some of you could give some advice/comfort me. Here''s the story....
My b/f and I picked up the ring yesterday and it is absolutely gorgeous! It is everything that I wanted and more, so needless to say I am very happy. We started shopping for and researching diamonds/rings about 3 months ago and decided that I would pick the exact setting that I wanted since I would be the one wearing it every day. We found the perfect setting and then my wonderful boyfriend bought a beautiful stone, which I checked out for the first time yesterday.
Naturally he was so excited about the purchase that he showed his parents lastnight and his mom 1st said "Wow, that is nicer than mine." Then he told me today that when he told them that we actually picked it out together she said "Well, I didn''t get to pick out my ring."
Let me first say that I love his mom (she is like a 2nd mother to me) and I was worried from the beginning that she might be mad or bothered by the ring. I just wanted to get a ring that was my taste and (to be honest) comparable to the rings that my circle of friends all wear. All of my college friends and sorority sisters got rings that were in the 1.5-2 carat range even though we are fairly young (22-23). The ring that we picked out wasn''t even the largest out of my friends rings, and we initially were going to get a larger stone before I decided it might be a little too noticable for my age.
How do I handle this situation?? I don''t want to offend anyone who is dear to me with my ring, but I really adore it and want to enjoy the ring once it is on my finger. Has anyone else dealt with this situation??
