The people who ask that dont even realize that carat weight does not make the ring, but CLARITY sure does!
Funny you should say that because I have seen people with rings twice the size of mine and they dont sparkle one bit. Though I am constantly in amazement because the only people who ask about my ring seem to be employees of Subway Restaurants.

Ain't that the truth! I was in a diamond/jewelery store once and this guy was buying diamond earrings for his girlfriend. He told the clerk that he wanted the biggest pair he could get for $x. And big is what he got -- big yellow diamonds.

When people ask me....I admit I'm always a tad taken back! It's right up there with "How much do you weigh?"
you can just say you don't even know, it's not that important to you, so you didn't even ask yourself!
I agree...I honestly don't know how many carats (exactly) my ring is...so I'm not "lying" when I say "I don't know."
I have no idea what my ring is!

So true. I honestly don't know the size of my ring, however I do know that DH when for smaller for better clarity and I can tell you that my ring has not been cleaned in over two years since my wedding (bad girl) and yet it amazes me how much this thing still sparkles. Bigger doesn't always mean better so its kind of a dumb question to ask!!!

Subway, really....lol
The clarity & cut are soooo important.
I actually have a relative of DH that just bought a 3k ring for his FI. It is horrible, does not sparkle, and has asymmetrical facets, so the light does not bounce. No fire, and it looks cloudy. But yet she feels the need to tell me how small my ring is (which it is not to me) compared to hers. Finally I was like, whatever, at least mine does not look like it came from the bottom of a swamp

its really no big deal to some people - to them, its right up there with "what size shoe are you" or something like that.
I don't answer those questions, but I don't mind them either.
To each her own, I guess. 
I agree.
I mean...I would never ask someone in real life, its a bit "tacky" (excuse my lack of better words) But on a place like LIW...doesn't bother me.
I answered it....because I don't mind. But if in person someone asked...I give them the "I'm not sure answer".
I'm not really sure why it is I can do it online but not in person
But hey..like shorty said....to each their own.

Me too... doesn't bother me at all, I guess because the size of the ring really doesn't determine how much it cost... smaller diamonds can cost just as much, if not more than larger ones, so if someone asks the carats, I don't think they're necessarily probing for the cost because it doesn't really have a whole lot to do with it ...

Re: The source shall remain nameless, but I totally think it's rude:
I also would have to say that it wouldn't really bother me that much. My diamond is not large, it isn't the best quality, it has it's flaws, but I love the ring that my DH got me and I know that he went through a lot to pick it out, so I am not ashamed or embarassed about it size, color, clarity, etc. I love my ring -- I guess if someone outright said "god, that is the ugliest ring I've ever seen" I'd be offended but I think the stones help to make it what it is -- my own unique ring.

After we got engaged someone said to me, "He must really love you."
What kind of comment is that?
Does that mean that love=money????
I just don't get it!!!!!
If he would have given me a ring made out of PAPER and asked me to marry him I would have said YES!
Oh my god.. I get that all the time.. he must love you to give you a ring like that... I just look at them and laugh.. what is that suppose to mean.. people are clueless.. for real..

i just saw a post on the liweddings board
so ridiculous. these girls are actually posting the size cut clarity u name it - it is pretty funny
So true. People used to FM me to ask me about the size of my ring. I honestly would reply, I don't know. It was my great grandmothers and I have no interest in knowing the size at all. The meaning behind the stone means so much more to me than the size, cut, clarity, etc. Girls would totally think I was lying when I said I didn't know, they didn't know how to give it a rest. I just deleted the picture of my ring and I was never questioned again.

Subway, really....lol
Yeah I think there is some conspiracy there. I went in and some lady said:
"Nice ring, where did you get it?"
(As if I picked it out myself)
"Um my fiance(we were engaged at the time) gave it to me."
"Did he get it on 47th street?"
"Gumball machine. Now give me my d a m n sandwich and let me leave."

When I was planning my wedding last year there was a post on this as well on liweddings...and the thing thats funny is that it went on for pages...with almost everyone posting the size, clarity, cut etc...I did NOT post rather just rolled my eyes. I think its so tacky!!!
I think it is tacky and I said so on LIW...they did not like that too much....oh well

Re: The source shall remain nameless, but I totally think it's rude:
I think this is rude as well. I never got asked it becaue I dont' have a big ring
One day a girl at work got engaged and someone said "wow, what a nice big ring, he must really love you" Like the size of the ring has something to do with the amount of love one has for another. hmmmmm

Re: The source shall remain nameless, but I totally think it's rude:
I do think it's rude if a stranger on the street asks you
but if a friend or family member asked me it would not bother me
I don't think that they are rude to post that cause if people don't want to answer they don't have to
