Asked if 1 ct was big enough…lets say bigger is better lol but depending on the cut and simplicity of the design, 1ct might work. Some cuts are more expensive than others, regardless of the size.

Actually size is something girls will complain about however… its what it looks like on her finger… my ring looks really good and it looks big and i love it… That salary thing i completely agree with you brad…its not what it costs and getting wrapped up in “i have to spend this much” its dumb… Its what she likes and wants… you get what she wants it dont matter if it costs 5 bucks… it has to sparkle the cut is what is really important!
