Well chances are you aren’t going o read this because your post is rather old but I find this to be an incredibly poor reflection of character. I don’t care for round (yes I’m well aware it’s the most popular cut), oval, marquise, heart or pear cuts. But a lot of people do and it’s not for me to say they have bad taste, they simply have different taste and I’m glad they do. I have 2 girlfriends with pear shaped diamonds on their fingers and the amount of times the sight of those rings have offended me is exactly 0. They love their rings and more importantly they love the men who gave them to them. If I was going to pick a really elegant simple ring I’d go with an emerald cut, 1 carat, with a platinum band. But I also really love colored diamonds, yellow and chocolate included. By the way the color and clarity of diamond are two very different things. I happen to think colored dimonds are very beautiful, not just “unique”. I also love Art Deco designs which are anything but simple or understated so very different from a emerald cut solitaire with a simple platinum band. My point is that people have different taste in jewelry and value different qualities in an engagement ring. I know a girl who chose a black pearl because it reminded her of her first date with her husband. It had special significance to her and that’s what she wanted to see every time she looked down at her ring. I’m sorry to say this, but based on your post, you sound a little self inflated. Your opinion is THE opinion according to you. You also sound a bit on the boring side. Every woman on the planet who is to marry, has but three cuts she can chose from otherwise she’s an idiot running around with jewelry that she is only fooling herself into liking? You’ve got to be kidding? You really can’t fathom that people may not share your opinion? Worst of all you seem shallow. I agree that waiting until you are financially stable is probably best but that means different things to different couples. In any event, I do not think financial stability has anything to do with the amount of money one spends on a ring or on a wedding for that matter. Spending your life with a diamond you love is just as important as spending your life with the person you love?! And we should trust you on this?! What?! That is so blatantly superficial and clueless I have to wonder if you snuck it in there to purposely be inflammatory. We shouldn’t trust you on this and probably not on anything else.
