I think you should wear it. It's one thing not to flash money around or other fancy things but this is your engagement ring; which, traditionally at least, has little to do with how much you, as a woman, make.
Wish this was the first time I heard about ACN leadership micromanaging how we look especially to "dress us down". We should be valuing our employees' choices AND celebrating the strength of our brand.
Wear it. Celebrate it. Congratulations!
Somebody worked hard to pay for that ring. Flash that shit
Can't put your whole life on hold. If they don't like it, that's their problem.
Fuck optics
Tbh I'd honestly just turn the ring around (diamond facing inward) for meetings if it matters that much to them
It's not Kardashian sized! 😆 The middle stone is 3.5 carats and then there is smaller tapered stone on each side. I just don't want it to be awkward and there to be comments made about how it's not a good look or anything!
I'd probably wear it. It sounds beautiful!!
Ive had someone recently say that the tiny diamond ring I wear (that belonged to my grandmother) was so small that it'd be an embarrassment to wear it as an engagement ring. I felt that was a very un-classy thing to say.
I do and I have the opposite conundrum. Mine cost less than $1k. That's what I wanted and I love my ring. But I often feel people look down on my for it because it's small and not what most female consultants would want...
@EY1 I hope nobody would think like that - jewellery generally is such a personal thing. I would never think that someone's engagement ring should be bigger or a different style - it's theirs not mine!
Enjoy your ring and live your life. If you sincerely don't want to wear it, don't. But don't let someone else dictate how you enjoy one of the greatest experiences in your life.
Also, consider your fiancé and how he may feel about you not wearing it. Sounds like he put a lot of effort into that ring. Congrats!!
Of course who wear it! It's a beautiful thing to be married especially in this industry. My wedding ring is 4.5 carats and I wear it with pride. Congrats by the way! Enjoy the ride it's a fun one
Wear it!! This shouldn't even be a debate. You got engaged, you have a right to wear your gorgeous ring.
Yea I mean you weren't the one who bought it any way
Fuck that, unless your ring is Kardashian sized, don't think twice about wearing it in any work situation. Congrats by the way!
To explain my question - the MD who I work with most frequently always talks about how we its important not to give the impression to our clients that we are paid too well. The ring is kind of flashy (more than I could afford). And feel as though he might not be impressed if I wore it.
You should wear a simple band if you are concerned that your ring is too flashy. The impression can be that you are engaged if you want it to be.
How big are we talking about? I see ladies around the office wearing really big rocks and it's no big deal. Besides it reflects how much your fiancé makes, not you
That's a shit ton of rock. Assuming he didn't cheap out on the clarity and color..he prolly spent well into the 5 digits just on the stone!
@D4 agreed. Very unclassy. I only wish I had something so precious from my grandmother. Enjoy your ring!
