For those of you who are engaged/married - do you wear your engagement ring to work? I got engaged over the break, and feel like wearing my ring to client site might not be the best idea.

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!

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!!

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.
