I seriously am the luckiest person to ever live

This morning, I did a mommy and me swim class with my DD while my DS stayed with my parents. After the class, I stayed with my parents for a bit and as I was getting ready to leave I noticed my engagement ring stone was missing. Me and my parents hunted the floors throughout the house/the chair cushions and it was nowhere to be found. I decided to go back to the pool to retrace my footsteps not thinking I was going to find it since it's not a very big stone--only 1ct. I walked the same route and went in every area that I went this morning and didn't find it. I even dove underwater with swim goggles to try to find it and naturally didn't. Coincidentially, I went back to the same changing room that I got dressed in this morning and accidentally stepped on it with my bare foot. What are the odds??

LAWL at 1 ct not being big.

Lucky step though.

Aghh I think I would puke if I looked down and my stone was gone.

Glad you found it!

Wow, you really are lucky!  I'm glad you found it!

Me too! I was so heartbroken. I mean I could have just replaced the stone, but it wouldn't have been the same.

lol that's big? I always thought it was kind of average-ish. When you see it on the ground loose, it looks awful tiny!

Yeah, 1ct is practically non-existent!

My total wait on my wedding ring is probably 1/4 ct maybe 1/2. If i lost my center stone it'd be blown away in the wind.
FTR my ring is exactly what I wanted, I don't like large wedding rings. I honestly would be fine with a twist tie. I'm just not a jewelry girl, thank god my DH knew that about me.

This was my first thought but then I thought maybe I was being a moody snatch.  Seriously, 1 ct is far larger than what mine is.

Oh, you.

Seriously, tho, that's awesome that you found the stone.

So, does your H have a 7.5 inch peen & you think that's not very big either?  Just curious. 

NotSharknado

I have no clue what size diamond my ring has, or diamond sizes in general for that matter. I feel I should know this. Welp, it's shiny and fancy enough for me:

MrsGoodkat

I'm always afraid mine is going to fall out. I take it twice a year to be inspected but it doesn't ease my fears. I know it's just a diamond and can replaced but like you said it wouldn't be the same.

Glad you found it!

Half true. I think it's big.

Glad you found it!  And for reference according to everything I can find online it looks like the average side of a E ring dimond is 1ct so you are apparently average, not above or below.  However on the luckiness quotent I think you're pretty high right now.

I would agree!

And thanks for showing me I'm not off my rocker when I think a 1ct ring isn't massive. lol.

It's not massive.  My friend just got engaged and her ring is 6 CARATS.  This is not a typo.  She showed it to me and I couldn't even pretend it was awesome.  I just said, "well that is a freaking eyesore". 

My e-ring is 1.5 carats.  Just a round cut diamond with a 6-prong setting.  No baguettes (or however you spell it) on the side.  Just the center stone and nothing else.  I love it and am obsessed with it and would be heartbroken if I lost it.  It's by far the smallest ring of all of my friends but I DGAF.  I love it.

Well, at least with that 6ct diamond ever falls off she will be able to find it easily. lol.

This reminds me of Legally Blonde: "She's got the 6 carat Harry Winston on her bony, unpolished finger...."

So glad you found it!

I lost my entire engagement ring.  Thankfully it was insured, but my oh-so-romantic hubby took the money and put it into his 401K.  A sign, maybe?  (The market subsequently crashed).

That is really lucky KC!

I know what size my ring is because I am the one who had it insured.

This post reminds me of my days on the knot when people would brag/compare e-ring sizes and try to justify why they have the size they have.

I am trying to think of what a good analogy to the bump would be...oh..! UppaBaby vs. Graco.

I'm a shallow broad and wanted at least a ring with a .75 stone--not even going to lie. LOL. I tried on smaller rings and I didn't like them at all on me. At the time I was about 35lbs overweight so a smaller ring just didnt work with my chubby fingers. I'm about 55lbs thinner now than when I got married so now my ring looks huge on me though. haha.

I'm not too shallow though--if we couldn't have afforded a diamond that size I would have been cool with a nontraditional stone like a sapphire or something.

If my husband did that, there would be absolutely NO need for the vasectomy discussion.

What?  That's ridiculous.

Funny story about my e-ring....H sold off his Apple stock to buy my ring.  I feel worse than he does about it.  He said he doesn't care because I'm the best investment he could have made.  

But he did say that if I hadn't been so antsy, I could have had a bigger ring.

Oh.  Then I guess I'm more shallow than you are because I told H I wanted at least a carat.

Oh well whatever.  I bought the house we live in.  And it's bigger than a carat.

My engagement ring is made from the leftover chips that fell off when you ladies were having your diamonds cut.  

If you weigh all the chips together it's a 1kt.

Tell us about the deal your DH got with your ring.

Yeah well, my Hs peen is bigger than your Hs. You know what they say about black guys.

Blood diamonds are cheap.

I couldn't remember how big mine is.  I just had to ask DH.  My center stone is 1/2 carat which i think is too big.  I am petrified of giving someone a skin tear with it and had the stones dropped and recessed into the band so that they wouldn't hurt anyone.  The jeweler thought I was nuts because they actually look smaller that way.
