Does SIZE really matter?

When it comes to engagement rings, does the cut of the diamond matter to YOU or are other qualities more important (type of cut of the diamond, clarity of the piece, settings whether on yellow gold or platinum, etc²)???

Seriously- we're not a group of women who sits around pining over a ring.
I don't think the quality of the ring signifies the strength of the love that binds you.
Well I've thought about the diamond if I ever got one again, but the size really doesn't matter
The cut of the diamond and the color of the gold matter more to me than size of diamond.
I like princess cut and I like white gold. I don't have really big hands so a smaller diamond would be best nothing too huge.

Yep, gotta second Shywon here. I'm not at all thinking about marriage, I'm just trying to get to a solid relationship. I'll worry about marriage and engagement rings if I ever get to that point.
But I also don't place much value in material things as symbols of love. If the love is strong and solid, I won't really care.
I want princess cut on platinum. Preferably one carat. And the more sparkly the better. I've tried on $10,000, $50,000, and $150,000 ones but the one I remember and like the most was $6,000. It was jaw-dropping beautiful. I couldn't even tell you what the $150,000 one looked like but it was HUGE...lol. Too much for me for sure. Unless you're a millionaire, spending that kind of money on a diamond is crazy. I think under $10,000 is perfectly fine.
My friend hates her ring. And it is ugly. It's a cluster of tiny diamonds made to look like one diamond and the setting is gaudy. Nothing like she wanted at all. He can spend thousands on his bike but he sure did cheap out on her ring. It's embarrassing to her.
I'd love just a diamond solitaire, either round or princess cut, on regular gold (although it seems white gold and platinum are more "in" right now), 3/4-1 carat.
