Noone learns, this topic is ALWAYS , no matter how nice you want it to stay.

if everyone just answered the OP's question without adding that their ring is so much better b/c of color, clarity, cut, etc, it would remain drama free

Because everyone needs to show off

Why must you include **************'s in your posts. It automatically seperates your text from the quote.

We are all grown adults, there should be no from this topic...

I have no idea how many carats mine is.
BUT
I have to agree with some other girls about how important other things are in a ring, such as color. My FH is a diamond grader at GIA and he was more concerned with color than carat.

**********
Exactly...this is a hard topic to answer because some girls, especially LI girls, just hear the carat size and think that is all to a ring. A co-worker got engaged after me and got a 2.3 carat princess, but when you look closely at it, you can see that the quality of the diamond is not good at all. When someone commented that mine was a nicer diamond than hers, even though mine is a 1.65, she automatically was angry and said 'ATLEAST MINE IS A 2.3..' Id rather have a smaller quality diamond than a big showy one that is horrible in quality......

=)

The questions wasn't 'what QUALITY is your ring?' it was 'how many carats is your ring' and people are simply answering the question. Most people know that there is more to a diamond that carats... however, that is not the question the OP asked.

To assume that all big stones are poor quality isn't fair.

*********************************************
I am not assuming that big stones are poor quality at all....my comment on the fact that I would rather have a small diamond with high quality than a big one with low was in regards to my co-workers comments, not on anyone's posting....

As we all said, as long as we are all happy and know the significance of the ring, that's all that matters....who has what and what size is it is irrelevant...

You dont need to do this ******** in every post. When you quote someone there is a line after their post.

FYI Since you are new.

I'm marrying a frenchman in france, so my ring is actually the traditional live tiger cub ring. I can't wait to eat croissants and brie with him and stroke my tiger cub ring. Ah, l'amor.

What about crepes?

Jean-Pierre and I love to eat crepes. We even feed some to my tiger cub ring.

Incidentally my tiger cub ring is of awesome clarity. A very clear tiger.

Re: How many carats is your engagement ring?

You know what?? I'm not even sure how many my ring is!!!

I love it, FH picked it, and that's all that matters to me.

I also find it offensive when strangers look at my ring, (as my co worker did the other day), and asked me 'how much was your ring?'...

Or, how many carats??

Who cares???

OMG!!!!!

i don't think that i ever had that happen to me - thank god! (but i do know someone and i was afraid she'd ask - luckily my ring size is too small for her!)

i did have people ask how many carats - to me that is so awkward!!!

the worst is when someone asks to see it and then they put their fingers on it!!! some girl put her thumb right on the top of my diamond - who does that!?!?
