6k-12k e-rings

Oh...my...god. It's not the cost of the damn ring! It's the meaning behind it!

Everyones ring is special to them in their own way. As long as you know the meaning of the ring- its okay for a girl to dream a little. But, its not okay to make someone feel the ring you adore isn't "good enough". In wedding world- there is no comparison to anything another bride has. Its what we want and there's no one to sit there and tell you what is expected.

Like many of the brides on here said, they are planning or want to upgrade, I think it would such a hard thing to do. Your e-ring has soo much meaning to it. It's probably hard to just give it the boot. Unless, you just add to yours (for example, I love my ring, the style, the sparkle, everything). I would probably invest in my center stone. It'll be the best of both worlds!

I did not read all the responses so if someone already said this apologize...you have to remember sometimes the guy doesnt need to buy the diamond which is obviously the expensive part of the ring. FH was given my mom's 1.03 carat diamond and then we picked out a setting. Since he was lucky enough not to buy a diamond my ering was under 3k but if he had to buy the diamond I can see if being a ton more since I know how much it was apraised for. So, if someone has to buy a diamond (and a good one at that) then its going to be way more pricey.

I am so glad my momma raised me better than that chick...it's the promise behind the ring, not the price tag. SMH - dumbasses.

don't let stupid people make you have a second thought about your ring, please. I take the stupid part back, I don't know her. But her response to you was stupid. and rude.

I don't meant to sound rude, but your friend sounds like an asshat.

FW's ring is OUTSTANDING, if I do say so myself. I designed it with a private jeweler and people stop her ALL.THE.TIME to comment on how gorgeous it is. We live in Boston AND it was less than $5k, and has appraised more than double that. The only comment I have re: the 6k-12k is that if you're paying that, you're more than likely shopping in a commercial jewelry store (Jared's, Kay, etc) - where you are paying for the ring AND their overhead, staff, advertising, etc costs.

Tell your friend to kiss off and to keep her negative comments to herself. Sounds like someone is insanely jealous and for her to make that kind of comment is ridiculous. Who in the world spends 12k on a ring when there's still a whole wedding to pay for? GOOD GRIEF!

Yucky. My {former} best friend said something similar to me when I got engaged. FH proposed 2months before her wedding, and I knew he spent just a little over 1k for the ring. She kept bashing my ring in sly, subtle ways; she was always comparing it to her ring which cost about 8k. In my mind both rings were beautiful. Mine especially meant alot because I knew he saved up for the band and the center stone was from my recently deceased grandmother's ering. Then she saw it and was like, No way! No way your ring cost that little!

There are many reasons she and I aren't friends anymore, but when you have someone in your life that only ever equates happiness, success, and joy with money, then they aren't worth your time or aggrevation.

I think that's insane. The ring I wanted was semi-precious and puuurrtttyy and about 150. He spent much more than that. But I just wanted a ring from him. It could be CZ if that's what he could afford. I'm marrying the man, not his money (or CC debt).

Take it from where it comes from, she doesn't have a BF, she doesn't have a ring; so she doesn't have an opinion.

I don't understand how some girls can be so jealous!! Its weird. Im always happy for my friends when something great is happening in their life.

Robin- lol! Couldn't be more true!!

Ughh- next time she makes her comments Im gonna give her a piece of my mind! You ladies put so much perspective. Thankfully, I have my WW to always keep me feeling sane and not to bridezilla and emotional mixed together.
