Sweetie...its because you have a ROCK!
LOL!
No seriously it is a bit rude. Mine isnt that big (and small fingers) but only my friends asked about the size. It would be weird if a coworker or someone random asked.
One of my friends has a nice size ring and we always ask her the size and she says she doesnt know and to ask her DH! She is the type that might not really know!
OK ALSO....some people are so rude when they ask your salary or FH salary. A few of my friends have done this. ***?!?!?!
yep I get that alot also..everyone calls my fh 'money bags'..im not kidding..people just assume he is loaded because he sometimes splurges on nice things..and now with buyign our house..its gotten even worse...its soooooo rude
I hate that even more. They aren't paying me or buying my stuff or paying my bills so MYOB!

People are obnoxious, that's why! I HATE when people ask me that and I've even had people ask me how much it cost FH lol
I often get, 'How much is your wedding costing you', 'How much did you pay for your house' and 'How much do you make' by acquaintances and some other people. I think that people are just getting dumber, really.
yep i get the same questions..and now with the house too..i really can't take it anymore

I hate that as well- I just tell them that I am not sure but thanks for admiring my ring.
Now most of my attention goes to the wedding band not the e-ring...

try this... a girl on line for food at the rangers game at msg in front of my turned to me and said 'OMG how many carats is that thing?!' So i said 'i dont know you would have to ask my fh who bought it for me.' So she said 'Ooo where is he??' i said 'he's around somewhere...hes the one in the rangers jersey.'
On another occasion, a woman in macys asked me if she could try my ring on. ummm what?!

You should have told her its cubic zirconia...
OMG! another time a friends g/f made a comment about my ring! one of the girls said something about the wedding and this girl was like i didnt know she they were engaged (when she clearly knew because i met her the week i got engaged) so the other girl says well how could you miss her engagement ring - so the girl says 'well i didnt know, it could have been white topaz or something' *** is that about! she said it in earshot of me! FH heard it and was BEYOND PISSED!!! he was like why dont you tell her that you have a house down payment or a car on your finger - but it wasnt even worth it - i blew it off but boy were we pissed!!!
shes just jealous!!!! ignore stupid people like that..its not even worth it

I guess people are just curious. I've had a couple of people ask me that when they see my ring. luckliy for FH my fingers are tiny, so my diamond looks bigger than it really is.
i just wonder why they ask - i would NEVER think of asking someone - yeah i might wonder to myself when i see a nice ring but i would never actually ask the person! im always so caught off guard and i get really embarrased - next time im going to be rude and sarcastic and just say its 5 carats
haha, you should do that!

Like they're going to get you a better deal or something? I don't get it. People are so f-ing rude! I just know when we start doing work it's going to be, 'oh you should do this and that'

Re: Why oh why....
Eh , I don't care if people ask me how many carats my ring is at all
But what I DO hate is when people say ' wow he must REALLY love you' . Like if he proposed with a different ring, I would have said no, or he doesn't love me as much ???

I have heard this a lot ' He must love you a lot!'
