I was talking to my Best friend/moh and I mentioned for our one year anniversary I want to upgrade my e-ring. Not that I don't love it, I just want it in a bigger version. Im at 1.75 and just going to 2 makes a huge difference on my finger. I mentioned that since it was pretty pricey (around 6k) it is worth waiting to do. She then said well most rings are between 6k-12k, so when I get engaged its gonna be extravegant. It made me feel like if my ring on the low side of "how much it should cost". I know I shouldn't care how much money was spent, but having your best friend basically say FH only spent the minimum was a little hurtful. I know its dumb, but I can't help but feel like she made my ring sound cheap and something she would never consider. I think all rings are gorgeous.No matter the price. It truly is the thought and a symbol. But... at the same time if I could upgrade then why not? I just dont have to upgrade to a 20k ring! Thats about half of our wedding budget! Vent over
