My married friend's husband just bought her a wedding set that she had no say in.
Before sending me a pic or anything, she told me to guess the carat size.
Because that's a pretty personal question and I had no idea what shape, I conservatively guessed 1.25ct. Since in my mind/opinion/PS-after-affect, that's substantial bling to flaunt about.
She then almost offendedly asked, "Is that total weight?" I'm like, you told me nothing about the setting, Idk how intricate it is...
Then she said that it's 18 carats and the necklace is too.
Automatically, I was flabbergasted. Like WOAH, that's massive bling! The sets we see on PS aren't even that big!
Then I found the pics posted. I couldn't help but ask "Are you sure it's not 1.8?" She said "yea."
It's a channel-set 3-stone RB with a matching channel set band. It's far from taking over her finger, as an 18ct total weight would, and the center looked about .75ct.
It had the proportions of this: http://www.kay.com/product1%7C10101%7C10001%7C-1%7C990510202%7C15051%7C15051.15059
but the head of this, but with a smaller center stone: http://www.b2cjewels.com/Create-Your-Three-Stone-Ring/18K-White-Gold-Diamond-4385-1.aspx
The necklace is a 4 prong solitaire, but it's harder to gauge so I searched neck shots and it most closely resembles Cath's .55ct [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/forum/download/file.php?id=17193']https://www.pricescope.com/forum/download/file.php?id=17193[/URL]
Now I don't know if she's misinformed or embarrassed to have anything smaller than Beyonce, but given her response to my "are you sure?" she seems to be sticking to her guns.
So I told her to wear it in health with a smiley. No response. I think that as long as she likes it then size really doesn't matter. Yet, I think I offended her...
What would you do if your friend had insanely misjudged her carat size?
