which is fine for her. My husband (we've been married for 4 years) got me BEAUTIFUL engagement/wedding rings, they are just what I wanted, and he went for quality in my center-stone instead of size, so my center stone is about .63 cts, with a total of 2.63 cts w/ my wedding band. I just love my jewelry, plus it means so much to me because I love being married. ANYWAY, this girl I work with had slighly bigger diamond and it is positioned so it looks really flashy. Anyway, good for her. So, she tells me CONSTANTLY that he ring is SO HUGE and mine isn't and my husband must not love me all that much or he would have made sure I had bigger jewlery. It's REALLY hurt my feelings and made me feel like I should be embarassed about my wedding rings, when I don't want to be! I think they are so pretty and they were a gift from MY husband. How do I respond to this evil woman?

Tell her that your husband has a BIG ROCK in bed, and you don't need to wear it on your finger. Besides the girl will dump her husband when some else that has more money is interested in her. She got BAD karma coming to her.

(((((Jeff)))) I knew that a person with your ability to care for others had to be a romantic at heart. Too bad that she does not see this. I'd go with E and here is why... I think back to one of my best friend's wedding. She was marrying a person that everyone, including her father despised. Basically, she was marrying white trash (he was a total jerk). Her father liked everyone - almost. Her dad performed the ceremony and I recall his words to the groom during the charge to the bride and groom... "and woe to him who causes a frown to cross her brow" with a very pointed look. I saw the groom actually flinch (after all I was one of the bridesmaids, so I got to see things up close and personal). She stayed in that marriage for 10 miserable years. Her parents always let her know they loved her and were there for her. Eventually she left him and moved back home with her parents while she got her life back on track. My point, Jeff, is this. Maintain the high road. If he turns out to be a wonderful man, you have not done something you will regret later. However, if things don't work out, then you never know, she may remember you... Take care. Hugs from a romantic matchmaker

Tell her to grow up and stop assuming that love is measured in quantity, cts, size, and digits. Obviously she has no idea what life/love is REALLY about and sounds like you do. Why would you even want to be associated with someone this shallow/ignorant. I would bluntly inform her tactfully that you feel sorry for her if that's how she feels about love/marriage and that she has no clue as to how much your husband loves you and that he makes you happy on "other" ways...not by the size of ring. If you wanna get real snappy, then ask her what is her husband compensating for?...lol..if you get the point. Ignore her if that doesn't work and maybe one day she get slapped with reality.

If it really takes a giant rock for her to think that her fiance loves her, then she needs to rethink marrying this person. Don't be ashamed of your rings, as long as you love them it doesn't matter. Before I got married (or engaged) I told my husband what I liked as far as cuts...princess and marquis. My diamonds might not be HUGE but he found the perfect ring with a marquis center diamond and princess cuts on the side. A girl at work is just like you co-worker, her ring is big, but while talking to her I found out that SHE picked out the ring, and helped her boyfriend (at the time) to pay for it. Mine feels more special because it was picked out special, from the heart of my husband. Don't let her get to you, just know that her's may be big, but yours is just that more special.

Tell her that you are glad you arent as shallow as she is to think its the size of jewels to know how much a man loves her....She is pathetic, and I guarentee her marraige won't last and yours has so far.
I would just tell her what I said above---then throw in how MISERABLE she really must be to talk about other peoples emotions & jewelry when you are perfectly happy---she isnt happy or she wouldnt say those things.
And then tell her her ring isnt all that---its pretty but you would never want something like that HAHA

You do NOT owe this woman any kind of explanation and your rings are absolutely none of her business. But if and when she started her crap with me, I would say: They are exactly what I wanted and asked for and I feel very loved in that he gave me what I asked for. I elected quality over quantity, which means SO much more to us. She'll soon shut up.

Not about quantity its about quality. She sounds like such a child, tell her it doesn't matter how big the ring is he wouldn't of married you if he didn't love you. Just tell her you don't care about her or her flashy fancy pant rings. Ignore it she sounds like a immature child.

dont even respond, just smile and walk away from her, the size of a diamond does not should not stand as a symbol for how much a man loves you...
just know that sooner or later...her marriage may not last while yours will

Just say something like its really sad that her husband has to prove how much he loves her with a big ol' piece of rock, whereas you can just look into your hubby's eyes and know how he feels. Shes not worth it.. maybe shes insecure about how he feels so is trying to convince herself by convincing you?

A happy marriage is not promised by a man buying a big diamond. She sounds very immature and you just need to ignore her.
