I too, got engaged about a year ago with a gorgeous 1.1 RB that was bigger than my expectations. My ring is beautiful, but DSS has completely sunk in and now my diamond looks so teeny weeny on my finger.
I definitely covet larger stones and would like to upgrade to a 2 carat someday, but for me I know that dropping that kind of $$ on a diamond with a wedding (coming up in 2011, sounds familiar!) is definitely not feasible. I usually get over the diamond lust feelings by reminding myself exactly that.
On the other hand, as others have mentioned, if it IS in your budget to do so by sacrificing some wedding costs, I would!
You should be happy with your engagement ring!
As someone in the midst of planning a huge wedding I didn't want-it's important to me to keep his family happy-I often dream about trashing all those expensive wedding plans and using the money to elope to the Bahamas and buy a 2ct+ upgrade!![]()
i would do that in a flash..
