Not being rude....

but I was just on BHB and there was a post about showing e-rings and I love seeing everyones rings

However,the post promted this question for you: do you think it is necessary to let other people know how big your stone is and/or are you insulted/annoyed when people in 'real life' ask you the size??? I think it is a very obnoxious question. Who gives a crap how big it is??

Sorry JMO and Im tired of people doing it to me and to my friends.

do you think it is necessary to let other people know how big your stone is? NO
Are you insulted/annoyed when people in 'real life' ask you the size??? YES

honestly, I don't think it is anyone's business how big/small my ring is! I think when someone asks, it is rude...

I take exception though, some family & close friends asked me & I don't mind telling them! But complete strangers!!!!

i totally think its so rude!!
and its equally as rude when people brag about how big their stone is - as if stone size equals love
makes me nauseous actually

well I posted on there and I followed the format that I saw in the begining- I really didn't think about it

I take it as a complaint when people ask me- I think it's rude it they asked me how much Jake paid for it- but not how big it is

sometimes people equate the too unfortunately. it's a status symbol maybe? I don't know...I don't have a diamond...but that's something I've said before...you think people are rude about size! you'd think my fh gave me a rotten fish the way some people react!

I totally agree!! I dont give a crap how big someones ring is so dont waste your time telling me about it!! I would love to see it b/c i think all diamond rings are so unique and pretty The size doesnt mean anything to me though.

people need to get with it. honestly jessica, after that long post we had about the colored stone rings, ive been dyting for a colored center stone. i think that are just STUNNING

FH friend got engaged a couple of weeks ago. He asked me point blank in front of his fiance and everyone else in the room, 'How big is your stone?' I was shocked. I answered him but was truly taken back that someone would have so little class to ask such a question - but some people have no class.

My ring is special to me because it was given to me from the most special person in the world.. and if it was 1 carat or 10 carats, it would still mean the same thing to me.

'do you think it is necessary to let other people know how big your stone is?'

No it's no one's business and I don't answer when people ask me anyway.



'Are you insulted/annoyed when people in 'real life' ask you the size???'

Totally, I've realized people get sneaky with the questions now...like 'Oh, that's so-and-so many carats right?' So that I can correct them. I just don't answer at all and change the topic. I really don't understand the obsession with size and price. I don't understand what that has to do with anything. Do people really think the larger your ring is the more FH loves you???? So sad!

I just bumped it! time to show some e-ring pride! LOL

I couldn't agree with you more, Michele!!! In all honesty, I'm not even sure how big it is. I know FH told me but I'm not even sure I if I heard him right.

It's seriously the absolute LAST thing on my mind, the size isn't important it's the meaning behind it that I care about. The words that were spoken to me when FH put it on my finger, that's what I think about when I look at it.

I think people ask b/c it this crazy world when celebrities give each other 24 K rocks after 2 days of dating- people are obessed now more then ever

I don't think people even think of it as rude anymore

now what I think is rude is when people put there grubby hands on my stone! I hate that!

I completely agree! With the exception of really close friends and family, I don't like telling anyone any of the details. I've already had about 5 people ask me how much he paid versus how much it's appraised for. Why does that matter? If someone knows anything about rings, they'll be able to look at it and guess the size.
