This thread is something I am dealing with. Many know I just upgraded from a 1 ct solitaire to a 3 stone 3.3 total cw. This was a big jump for me. My mom doesn't like diamonds (gasp) or jewelry other than silver, my MIL has never had much money. I have only told my sister that I got the ring. I am seeing my MIL this weekend and am nervous about her reaction.
Question: How do you handle the comments made with that tone such as "Wow, that's very flashy", "I'll bet that set you back a pretty penny"
I am not sure what to say. I did have a coworker ask me how much it cost and I told her I'd rather not say. She said "oh that bad huh?"
dreamer: I said to my husband when I got the ring that this is going to be my happy place. When I am stressed or upset I can look at it, breathe and get centered again
"But I am like you because I love big bling!! I look at my ring at least 100 times a day and it brings me great pleasure. "
