Whether
we like it or not current trends in engagement
rings say bigger is so much better. Just have a
look at what style engagement rings celebrities
are choosing. And of course what’s good for them
is good for the rest of us.
J Lo’s engagement to Ben Flick also started an
interesting trend of consumers seeking out pink
diamonds. In no other time in history have pink
diamonds been as popular as right after J Lo
placed that pink diamond engagement ring on her
finger.
Do any of you remember Marilyn Monroe sexily
purring “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend?”
Do you have any idea what that did the engagement
ring market.
Guys are still paying for that statement. Sure
back in the 50s women knew it wouldn’t be
sensible to wear such a large engagement ring but
that didn’t mean a gal couldn’t yearn for it.
Today a women wouldn’t feel in the least bit
guilty about wearing such a diamond, in fact there
are many a women that judge how well they are
loved by the size of the rock they are wearing
because they “know” what Marilyn knew, that
“diamonds are infact a girls best friend.”
When we see the engagement rings worn by stars
like Madonna or Catherine Zeta-Jones we take
notice and their choices influence the trends that
follow. Celebrities are the leaders in setting
fashion and jewelry trends.
Madonna with her Edwardian engagement ring and
Catherine Zeta-Jones’s antique styled 10 carat
diamond ring has revived the desire to own a
beautiful antique engagement ring. In fact it’s
one of the hottest engagement ring styles in 20
years.
The size of the diamonds in current styles has
also grown from the average one carat to over
three carats. That’s a pretty big rock that’s
going to set you back a bit. But girls know they
deserve it!
If you aren’t sure whether bigger is better than
have a look at the jewels at this years Oscars
which are said to total over $50 million dollars
in value. Wonder how many vaults it took to keep
those locked up for the night?
With bling being the in thing one has to stop and
wonder how the heck normal average working guys
plan to pay for these rings. When their fiancés
are asked the standard answer is “doesn’t
matter I’m worth it.
That’s great if your guy is earning a 6 figure
salary but wait what if he’s not. What if he’s
joe average living from pay day to pay day. What
should he do move into the bush and give up his
home, perhaps take up walking and sell his car?
Wait guys maybe you can get away with a really
good quality cubic zirconia. No guarantees but it
might be worth a try. Most of the high end ones
can only be identified by a quality jeweler. Then
again maybe she won’t care as long as it’s big
and impressive.
Okay girls lets be real here. Dreaming and lusting
for that big 5 carat rock is just fine. No problem
with dreaming, but when it comes time for your man
to buy that ring remember that the ring is not
what you are marrying so perhaps it’s time to
consider the quality and quantity of the husband
to be rather than the ring.
Big diamond or little diamond it doesn’t matter
as long as the two of you are blissfully happy.
Let the celebrities wear their big diamonds and
let them sparkle and shine in the lime light. It
doesn’t matter because you got your man!
That’s what counts!
