I just saw the most ginormous engagement ring

Haha. I always notice these things. I am like a raccoon drawn to shiny objects.

I totally stare at all engagement rings, especially big ones!! That looks huge and seems like it would be difficult to wear every day. I would be so worried about chipping it or losing it or having it stolen.

There is a community member that is part of one of our boards that has a huge one that I stare at during each meeting.

I feel like a ring that big would just get in the way. How would you work? If you have a baby wouldn't you be afraid it would hurt the baby? These are the things I think about.

If I got a ring that big all I'd be thinking is "WOW!!!!!!!!"  And if I couldn't work it wouldn't be due to the size but because I'd be distracted by staring at it all day, or because my finger would be tired out from trying to lift it to type

It also just dawned on me that people with diamonds the size of my fist probably don't work and also probably have a nanny.

That's nuts! I've seen giant rings before and I don't get it. Well, I *get* it, if you have the money why not? But for me, I'd just feel so nervous that it makes you a target to be robbed! I remember being really self conscious when I got my ring realizing how much it cost. I have never had anything that valuable on my person before. It is not like you walk around with that type of money on you!

Funny story: I went to Long's Jewelers once and tried on a ring similar to the yellow diamond ring you posted. The price was... wait for it.... $250,000. I was sweating wearing it. I remember thinking, this ring is worth half of my HOUSE. It was nuts. The guy was really nice about letting me try it on.
