1. Was my comment out of line?
Yes. You handled this very poorly. If you hadn't made a stupid comment, she already would have STFU. If you said something like, "I wish I could show you how much I love you in diamonds, but no thing can measure my love for you," this would have been over. Instead, you got your feeling hurt and said something stupid.
2. Was her ring envy disrespectful to me?
Yes. She probably didn't realize it would hurt you that way and would have loved for you just nod and say "Uh huh". Most of the time that's what wives want but y'all have to say more.
3. How pissed off at her should I be?
You should both STFU, grow up, and get over it. This is a really stupid thing for either or both of you to be mad about. Also, stop wearing your feelings on your sleeve.

The quality of the diamond is more important than the size. As a woman, she should know that.
You can get a huge rock, cheap, if you want one that's a piece of shite and size is all that matters.

You know why you can't afford a bigger ring?
Stop buying women expensive rings. All youre doing is reinforcing shitty behavior.

We have been married for a long time and she knows I can’t afford to buy her a 3 or 4 karat diamond ring. But she won’t let it go. I told her that the lady is probably somebody’s 2nd wife because the 2nd wife gets a bigger ring (married later in life and probably had more money than I did when we married just after college). She then explodes and starts turning it around like I said that I would buy my 2nd wife a bigger ring than the one I bought her.
Yep, you're married.
I would have just said BTW, "My side piece has bigger diamond than yours and I'm sure my 2nd wife's will be bigger than both of yall's."
If she can't figure out your joking, then you're with the wrong woman.

This one quote confirms the absolute truthfulness of the OP.
After forty plus years of marriage to Mrs. M. I am beginning to now see these lunatic illogical flare ups in their very early stages and can either verbally maneuver, misdirect, or disengage depending on the level of danger incoming and the degree of insanity in the erupting illogic.
Occasionally however, usually when I am paying less attention than I ought, I get swept into the maelstrom and dragged below the surface and into the tentacles and maw of the Kraken as you have been.
I sympathize and share your pain and bewilderment.

Tell her to go buy her own new diamond. Men and women are equal now.
This is an excellent idea. My wife has paid for all of the diamond ring upgrades she's made. She likes jewelry and pays out of her own pocket for what she wants instead of trying to shame me into buying it for her.

I told my wife about the upgrade program the jeweler has where I bought her ring, said we could upgrade it every so many years for our anniversary. She declined, said the sentimental value of the ring mattered more than size. Choose wisely, gentlemen.

This is the OT, they buy 5 karat rings or bigger. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way back to the Rant.

the real answer is, if you love someone you don't want to be mad at them and that goes for her as well.
The OT answer is PIIHB

A little. I can see having ring envy but getting into an argument over it is stupid.

A good bit.

The lady with the big ring might also not be happy. If you and your wife are happily married, that’s all that is important!!
*also 1,2,3,4th marriage has nothing to do with the size of the diamond.

It’s probably a lab created diamond - Which the government says is a real diamond so jewelry stores are allowed to say they are real
Your comment wasn’t out of line bc your wife is being irrational.

How young is your wife, and how long have you been married?
It's not uncommon for young women to be envious of the bling they see on other women. This will blow over in time.
She really should be grateful, though, that she isn't married to a shitheel who buys pretty baubles to soothe a guilty conscience, e.g. Kobe Bryant and the huge diamond he gave his wife when he was caught cheating.

Assert yourself! Tell her to shut up and bring you a cold beer.
