... upgrade?
I haven't been wearing my e-ring for the last couple of weeks (swollen hands), and I have been gearing up to plot my upgrade, and I think I somehow managed to engineer reverse-shrinkage. (Reverse-engineer shrinkage? Thankfully not.) A slight drop in humidity let me squeeze the little sucker back on my finger this morning, and ... it's not so little! Which is, a), a relief, and, b) got me thinking about where to draw the line.
I'm still interested in getting a bigger stone (they're pretty), but part of me is sort of like ... so, how high do prices have to go before this doesn't make sense anymore? If what I think of as a generous budget intersects with rising diamond prices to the point that I can only go, say, half a mm. higher, I'm not sure if it will be worth it to me. How about you guys? Where will you draw the line (if at all)?
