I don't know, either, other than the obvious message "My boyfriend can afford a ring this big (_and yours can't_)," or "Look, Mom, I did as you said and landed a rich doctor."
I mean, I had a high school class ring that kept snagging on my pocket when I was pulling my lunch money out.
I noticed when I got my senior ring that for several weeks at least it led to a significant imbalance when I tried to type . . .
After that, I decided that bigger is *not* better, at least as far as rings go. My engagement ring is a 1/3 carat diamond, and that's as much jewelry-grade diamond as I really need, truth be told. (Industrial diamonds may be another story.)
You are expecting perhaps to someday be captured by aliens and locked in a giant glass test tube from which you will have to cut your way free?
Now, on the large-screen TV, I'm with the guys. :)
