take the stone,and just the way it is...no discussion about recut or size or quality...any thought that the stone isnt good enough could be very insulting or misunderstood as selfishness.Play it safe and wear the already impressive diamond as is and wait for the other jewelry to be exactly what she wants...his feeling are the important thing here and if she isnt careful she could put a big dent in the enjoyment of giving and recieving diamonds in the furure.TAKE MY ADVISE...Ive seen men stop giving jewelry as gifts because the early pieces wernt accepted in the right way and they were very hurt to the point of resentment when its time to buy a bday,christmas or Annirversary gift.

I guess she could be completely honest about her feelings and ask for a recut of his gift...make it perfect ...so she wont mind if he brings it up when she gains a few pounds or wears the wrong color or hair style...
No, you weren''t alone, CR--I was rather surprised he was rockin'' a 5 carat stone too! And I agree with your stance too; with such a sweet gesture behind it, there is no dilemma in my eyes.Date: 3/23/2009 9:59:30 AM

Is it just me, or is anyone ales in shock that a man was wearing a 5+ct diamond?!?! I don''t think I''ve ever seen that before.
Regardless. I think the sentiment behind it is touching. I would be flattered to accept something that my SO cherished so much. It''s very different than receiving something that was passed down in the family. This was bought for his pleasure and he is willing to sacrifice it so that it can make her happy. I''d take it!
Thanx Gwen! I thought I was stonding alone! I live in a pretty affuluent place and I really have never seen anything even remotely close! I want to see this ring!Date: 3/24/2009 5:52:16 PM
