Did He Pay too Much for My Engagement Ring?
I have not yet seen the engagement ring, but he has described it to me as it is still being made. He said that it is very unique and he designed it. I know that the center stone is a Ruby surrounded by diamonds, but from certain comments I’ve overheard, I feel that he may have paid too much for the ring. Is there a way to ask without seeming unappreciative? I am not a flashy person who wears a lot of jewelry but he is very proud of the ring he is having made. Should I even ask? I have heard him make comments about how he cannot pay for some things because he just made a big purchase (my ring) and he has told me that we cannot put deposits down on our vendors for the wedding yet because he has to work more to recoup what he paid for the ring. That sounds like he paid too much to me?
It depends on the size, clarity and if the ruby is lab created or natural.
Rubies often are light in color-they can be cloudy and rather pinkish
A natural ruby saturated with deep color, clear and flawless is rare….and the larger the stone the more expensive.
Most diamonds that surround the main stone are small, therefore not nearly as costly as a larger solitary stone.
If he has purchased a lab created ruby do not fret….it’s physical and chemical properties, it’s durablity, etc is INDENTICAL to a natural ruby. It IS a ruby…it’s just than the stone was grown in a lab under the exact same conditions, but controlled conditions and with the exact same minerals as a natural ruby-the ONLY difference is that lab created rubies are flawless, and more affordable. Since there would be no flaws or fissures in a lab created ruby, the stone would be less likely to split, crack, chip or become damaged along any flaw a natural stone would have.
Listen, all he said is that he wants to recoup what he paid out for your ring rather than go into debt by putting deposits down on venues NOW…and that seems very wise and reasonable to me. I would be pleased that he wants the best that he can afford for you for an e-ring…what would be too much for a ring is if he went into heavy debt over it.
Do not fuss, it may be only be a matter of a few month’s worth of payments…and this will give you more time to plan and prepare for the wedding that you wish to have. I know you are ‘chomping at the bit’ as far as getting those wedding plans underway but things worth it are worth waiting for.
Lucky girl, to have a guy who takes pride in the e-ring he gives her….he must believe you are very special to take such care in getting the ‘perfect’ ring…so don’t knock it Hon….enjoy.
edit: ‘rubies are super cheap????’-sure, if you require an electron microscope to find it…lol wow….I’ve seen rubies that the price of any diamond could NOT come close to….some one sure doesn’t know her gemstones, ha! The Dutchess of York (Fergie) received a ruby e-ring when she married Prince Charles’ younger brother and somehow I don’t think that stone was ‘super cheap’, either….
