If I was as wealthy as these celebrities, I wouldn’t need a flashy diamond. Does anyone know of other stars who took the more subdued route? Maybe a simple band. To me a wealthy person who does not feel the need to flash that wealth is more appealing. They obviously feel confident in themselves if they can forgo the flash, without need to seek attention, or prove to others they are “successful”.

My husband and I are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but when we looked for a ring together, I purposely chose one that was very understated, even though we could have afforded one “flashier” without debt. It is my observation, that sometimes those who can’t afford a large diamond (I’m talking everyday folks) go out and still buy one they can’t really afford considering their income and their current debt load, in order to appear to be something they aren’t. (hope that makes sense the way I am trying to say it) I would love to see a study if those marriages have a poorer chance of making it.
