re: Husbands of the OT, how big was your wife’s ring?

I got off easy. My wife wanted her grandmothers' diamonds reset.

My wife’s is about 1.5ct total with the main diamond being 1ct. Nothing huge.

I had a jeweler friend custom make Mrs. Cotten’s. Picked out the diamond then he designed it around the actual stone.

Long story short, the first stone I picked out was a .69 carat shipped via USPS…after waiting a good 3 weeks my buddy called me and said two things:
1.) USPS contacted him that they “lost” the stone
2.) He had insured it for $2500 more than it was worth and wanted to make it up by putting another $2500 toward a new stone due to the troubles and wait.

So I got to select a new diamond worth $5k more than the original. It was a few years back but I think I went slightly bigger to right under a carat and up a bit in clarity. I told him “feel free to report this one lost as well”

1/2 carat i think.
i was poor and she doesnt care

Bigger than my previous wifes, because she had seen hers, so.........

1.5 carats. She likes it.

She turned it into a necklace and wears it with her new husband who bought her a bigger one.

She cheated on him too.

Center is 1.26 carats. Total is 1.45 carats.

I did a lot of research on diamonds before purchasing.

Cut is the most important C. You want ideal cut
Color and clarity is next my wife's is H and VVS2

Once you figure out which cut, color and clarity you want, carat size is just a budget thing

If size is more important to her then the sparkle, don't get a real diamond.

First step though is to know which shape and ring style she wants

1.5 carat oval. You can get away with a smaller carat size and a bigger look if you go with an oval. It's more flat than deep so it looks bigger.
