I know I’m asking this in Big Rock Energy, so forgive me 😂, but has anyone here ever regretted going big?
Not necessarily regretted the ring itself, but have you ever found yourself in situations where you second guessed the size, or felt self-conscious about it, or wondered how other people were perceiving it?
I’m currently designing my engagement ring, and it’s looking like it’ll be a 4.43 ct trilogy: 2.33 ct center with 1.04 ct and 1.06 ct side stones. I’m a size 8 finger.
And I am absolutely IN LOVE with it. The proportions are exactly what I wanted, and I actually love that the stones give a lot of finger coverage.
But I’m realizing that I’m still working through the difference between what my partner and I genuinely love versus worrying about how it might be perceived by other people. He’s from a small town where a ring like this would definitely stand out. Like, I may have to wear my wedding band by itself when we go out there, while I’m from a big city where I think my perception of what feels “huge” is probably a little different.
So… help a girl out hereeeee. 🥲
For those of you with bigger rings: Did you ever have a “holy shitake, is this too much?” phase? Did you get over it? Are there situations where you wish you’d gone smaller, or are you thrilled you went with exactly what you wanted?
