Ladies - How important is the size of a diamond for you when getting married?

Would you think your husband loved you more or less if he gave you a larger or smaller carat diamond ring?|||Diamond size is not that important,


It's the size of love you can give to your woman.


Dont worry about the expensive ring, just make sure that when you propose that would be really memorable.|||it's all about compensation|||Good question lol I want to know too|||To me, a diamond isn't important. Why throw out your money on a lump of coal that got too hard.|||For me, it wasn't about the diamond- it was about him proposing and my husband and I getting married. My first ring cost my husband $175 and it is beautiful. Later, when we had more money, he bought me a more expensive ring and now I wear both. It really is the thought that counts. Good luck!|||It didn鈥檛 really matter so much to me. In fact considering how much ring are, I think its absolutely ridiculous for a women to want an expensive ring, unless they plan to pawn it someday!


I think finding out what style she wants is more important. Of course to be quit honest, I had a particular style in mind, but once my fianc茅 did propose it completely didn鈥檛 matter, I absolutely love the ring I got!|||You should only get what you can afford *without* incurring debt.

My boyfriend and I have been looking at rings together, so he knows the sort I like, and now he's gone out and bought one (but I'm not supposed to know) and to be honest, I don't care what it looks like, I trust that he knows me well enough, I just want it!|||I would think my husband loves me just as much as he always has no matter what the size of the stone is~





But if you are wondering what is the most important about buying a diamond its not the carat size, but the quality (aka clarity).|||I care about the quality of the diamond, not the size. I've seen cheap, larger diamonds with severe imperfections and even cracks... that is the choice of uneducated people that thibnk that bigger is better and that is not the truth when it comes to real diamonds.





For me, a good combination of the 4 c's (cut, clarity, color and carat) are the best bet when buying a diamond. One should purchase the best gem that one can afford depending of your means. It definitely go accordingly with the financial means of the groom to be, as it would be unnaceptable of a gentleman that makes a good living to propose to woman with a ring that cost less that his car rims.





Good luck|||It really doesn't matter. It's not about the size or how expensive it is, it's what it symbolizes.|||of course I wouldn't think he loved me less, because I'm not a materialistic beoch. come on! girls who place too much emphasis on the size of their ring are shallow imho. I don't even want an e-ring because I recognize the fact that me and my bf buying a house is more important than some piece of jewelry. granted different people have different priorities for what they do with their money but diamonds can't keep you warm at night, and you don't build equity in diamonds either.|||Its not at all important to me --- I didn't even want a diamond! And I don't think the size of the stone has anything to do with loving a person more or less.


There are men who absolutely adore their fiance's who just can't afford a large ring. It doesn't mean he doesn't love her.





To better answer your question, though: I care more about quality than size in the stones in my jewelry. SO I would rather my guy spent his budgeted amount on a good quality (cut/clarity) stone rather than getting a poorer quality stone in a larger size.|||I wear my husband's birthstone...NOT a diamond. MY choice.|||Not important at all.It's the thought behind it that matters only.The women that care about size are the ones who usually get divorced.Money Grubbers!|||I didn't care how big the diamond was, but some woman do. If you have been talking about engagement recently, maybe you could take her to a few different places and tell her you want to see what styles she likes, then you can get a feel for what is important to her. Wedding Chanel has a great website to find vendors close to you or you can just view the website for ideas!|||I don't think it's that important. I'd prefer to have a smaller diamond and not start out our lives as a married couple that's not financially secure over an insane ring payment. I would not think that my husband loved me less if he gave me a cheaper ring- he gave me himself and that's so much more than a ring. There's more important things to base how much someone loves you on than how much he spends.





In our case my husband gave me a choice between 2 diamonds that were the same price- one was bigger but was a lower quality and one that was smaller but of a higher quality. I chose the smaller diamond with the higher quality.|||Honestly, I had originally wanted an aquamarine ring, which is my husband's birthstone. Then he insisted on a diamond. I told him if he was getting a diamond, it should be high quality, regardless of size, but ideally I wanted .5 carats. He blew me away when he proposed with a .75 carat F/VS1 heart shaped diamond solitaire. Right away I noticed the size difference. I was impressed, but worried that he had spent way too much on a piece of jewelery. Then I found out that he spent about half as much (and paid cash) as a .4 carat diamond center-stone ring with diamond accents that I had looked at and I felt better about it.





Priorities should be put above all else. If you cannot afford it without incurring debt, you're not ready to get engaged (wait until you get your finances in order).





In the end, it really doesn't matter. I have friends that decided to not get an engagement ring and they just got wedding bands. What matters is your love and commitment, nothing else.|||It depends on how much money you have. The etiquette says that she picks the ring and YOU pick the stone, without her input. Problem can be that she picks a ring that can only accommodate a large stone. You will get an indicator of what she expects by the ring she chooses.





I am a diamond wholesaler, write to me if you want.|||Not important at all.|||Not at all. I don't want him to break his budget buying an oversized diamond because he thinks it shows he loves me more. I do however want to see that it took some thought about my tastes and what I like, and maybe that he'd had to save a little for it.
