Brides Are Opting For Simple Wedding Bands Instead Of Massive Rocks Because They Don't Want To Be Judged



At some point, "society" decided that the bigger the diamond, the better the engagement ring.

--But according to a recent article in the "New York Post", there's been a backlash against rings with massive rocks. And now brides are choosing simple, understated bands with just a small diamond, or no diamond at all.

--Apparently, there are three reasons for the shift:

#1.) If you're wearing a rock the size of a doorknob, people are going to notice it immediately. But some women don't want their marital status to be the first thing other people notice about them.

#2.) The economy is still in the toilet. If your friends have all been laid off or are living paycheck-to-paycheck, how's it going to look if you're walking around wearing a $10,000 diamond? Put another way, people are going to judge you for your ring.

#3.) And finally, well, I'm just going to come out and say it: To a lot of people, walking around with an enormous diamond on your hand just seems tacky and pathetic. Especially when it's totally out of proportion to your lifestyle.

Do you agree with this, ladies? Do you prefer a smaller diamond, or are you still into the whole "massive rock" thing? Call my show 1-877-900-9690
