Just be glad you don't have a girlfriend with expensive tastes..............one that might oooh say drop hints about a Tiffany necklace perhaps (coughcoughlaura)
I knew a girl whose boyfriend bought her a 10pt. diamond ring for her birthday. When he gave it to her, she beamed with pride thanking him profusely, telling him how much she loved it. She placed it on the ring finger of her left hand. Then she went over to her jewellry box, brought it back to the couch, ...opened it up, and proceeded to take out her 7.5 carat marquise cut cognac Diamond, that she placed on the middle finger of her right hand, and said "Now I have a ring for each hand, ...and she held both her hands out to show him. The look on his face was indescribable. Even though he was a dick, I really felt sorry for him at that moment. She didn't let up either. LOL. For weeks afterwards. She would beam and glow and display it to everyone. "Look... Chris bought me a diamond for my birthday." Then she would hold out both hands, and say "Now I have a ring for each hand. Thank You Honey" and she'd plant the biggest kiss on him. I felt so sorry for him everytime she did that. I'd just look at Chris, and see the guy literally cringe. Needless to say... 6 months later at Christmas, ...he gifted her with a 5 carat emerald cut Emerald framed with 10pt diamonds. I thought that was sooo cruel of her, ...but then again, those two did deserve each other.
Just to give you an idea of the scale difference for those of you who don't know diamonds:
. vs
.left hand right hand
The dot to the left accurately reflects the size of the stone Chris bought her.
The dot to the right is about 1/2 the size of the stone of her cognac diamond,
...and roughly about the exact size of the emerald centre stone he bought her for Christmas.
Now her hands look a little more balanced.
