So I met a woman last week that got me thinkin... She is a young, extremely attractive female looking for her engagement ring.  So we’re looking around and she falls in love with the Beaudry designs.  We started chit chatting away about exactly what she wants in a ring and what she wants it to look like.  Of course, me being the professional that I am, made some suggestions.  Now remember, I said she was extremely young, maybe in her early 20’s.  She had a small, small frame and looked as if she had just gotten off the runway.  Anyways, she pulls out a Fantasy 6ct round brilliant toy ring.  She says she’s been carrying it around just to see how she “feels” in it.  Now of course, my immediate reaction was, first engagement, young girl, petite body size, maybe a 2 carat.  So needless to say, I felt rather stupid. She says that the 6 carat is too big, so a 5 carat should suffice.

I remember when I got engaged and a 2 carat was pretty far fetched.  Is there a new generation walking among us?

I always thought you get a diamond like that when you’ve earned it, like at a 25 year wedding anniversary.  But once you start with this 5 or 6 carat, what do you get when you do celebrate 10, 20 or 50 years of marriage? Is the size really all that important at that age, or any age for that matter?  But even besides all the “ego” statistics involved with being in these large diamonds, what about proportion to yourself?  I mean a larger size lady doesn’t look as good in a small piece of anything.  So you have to learn how to look for the right size to fit your lifestyle, right?.

Is Size all that matters?
