Drama of the missing ring… Part 2

As it turns out BridezillaBlondie’s status symbol engagement ring cost a hefty $5000 and did not have any insurance, it is also still missing. She had her finace call his insurance company about the loss with hopes it would be replaced by them. Turns out the ring would have been covered if it was stolen/ lost within the home, not if it lost or stolen outside the home.

Now BridezillaBlondie is holding the fact that the ring was not insured over her fiance’s head. She is also riding him hard about replacing the ring. She has even gone to the trouble of picking out which stores he should go to for the replacement.

The whole situation just blows my mind! First, I can’t believe she honestly expected the ring to be safe left on her desk at work overnight. It was a $5000 ring! I have never left jewelry out in the open for any reason and nothing I own is worth more than $1000. I either take it off and put it in my purse or pocket so it is safe. Leaving valuable stuff unattended is just asking for it.

Second, if you loose a ring it is your bad, don’t twist the situation around to make it the fault of the giver for not insuring it. You should have kept up with it better if it meant that much to you. Sure insurance is a good idea for expensive stuff but you were the idiot who just left the ring overnight, besides when you noticed you came home without it why didn’t you go back for it? Guess it wasn’t that important huh?

Lastly, expecting the ring to be replaced is sort of unreasonable don’t you think? I mean he already proposed to you, presented the ring and you said yes so the ring isn’t mandatory anymore. It isn’t like he never gave you one, he did and you lost it! If you are lucky you might get another ring for the wedding but to expect a new ring is a bit much. Do you think he has another $5000 to drop on a replacement ring? If he does that is even more ridiculous!

The whole status symbol engagement ring idea is just stupid to me. I want something nice but nice doesn’t have to mean expensive! NewscasterHottie and I were ring browsing the other day and I fell in love with this little $300 ring. It was so cute and antique looking, I just loved it but he was so turned off by the price tag.

I thought it was a perfect start, $300 for the band and some diamonds then you drop like $1000- $2000 on a nice center stone that replaces the smaller crappier ones, later. Seems reasonable to me, unfortunately he is too worried about buying me a little $300 ring.

Is having a inexpensive engagement ring bad? Not for me! The way I see it is you upgrade the ring at a later date (perhaps the wedding or an anniversary), as long as the engagement ring is something you will like for a lifetime that you can add to it is perfect in my eyes!

Why are so many girls wrapped up in status? A huge ring can equal a shitty marriage so the size or cost of that little thing doesn’t really matter now does it? Your expensive items wont make you a better person your actions do!

  3. I agree about upgrading later. When my husband gave me my first engagement ring, it was a CZ. Very nice, though. About 6 yrs after we were married, he got me a real diamond - when we could afford it and certainly not one that put us over budget until we retire! BridezillaBlondie’s future husband is looking into a VERY HIGH maintence lady! Maybe he should reconsider his goals in a partner :-)

  5. My ring was $750, but I never wear it because I’m afraid the diamonds will fall out. I keep asking my husband for a plain wedding band I can wear all the time and not worry about. Even if I had a ton of money it seems ridiculous to spend more than $1,000 on an engagement ring.

  6. I can think of hundreds of way to use $5000 for something useful… That is just way too much money to drop and a frigging piece of jewelry!

  7. I think this is just the excuse fiancee needs to vacate the relationship. If she is doing this BEFORE the wedding what kinda crazy demanding wife will she be?
