    So.. I'm watching Regis & Kelly and Carrie Underwood is performing, but she's not wearing her engagement ring.  I got to thinking.. I see that a lot, celebrities rarely wear their engagement rings.  Us normal folks couldn't dream of not wearing our ring!  Just thought it was interesting..

    weird! I wear my ring from the minute I get up until the minute I go to bed except for when I'm showering or washing the dog. I hate not having it on!!

    That is kinda interesting!  Maybe she doesn't wear hers because it's so big/expensive?  I know I would have a hard time taking my ring off my finger, but I think my fear of losing it/getting stolen would sway my thinking..

    Maybe they're "too big" for every day wear? Sometimes those celeb's rings are like 5 carats plus just in the center stone! I'd imagine that a big honkin' stone like that would have big ole prongs that'd get caught on EVERYTHING. I know, for me, a cocktail ring wouldn't be practical every day and I'd probably gouge my own eye out.

    Also, I notice a lot of celebs seem like they wear only a gold band for a wedding ring....but then they wear ridiculously blingy necklaces and stuff.

    Maybe it's a weird statement of some kind?! But yeah i always think it's 'weird' to see a married celeb NOT wearing a wedding band or engagement ring+band.

    Maybe it's just too big/flashy? I can't imagine NOT wearing mine.

    That is true, their rings are always rreaally expensive and huge, but wouldn't you want a ring you can always wear?  I would hate not to be able to wear my ring all the time.

    @CorgiTales:  I just found this... 

    "A spokesperson from the Diamond Information Center says the 26 year-old country crooner’s ring is estimated to be a five-plus carat brilliant round diamond with diamond sidestones, worth over $150,000."

    Yowza!

    Yeah, I'd rather have something a little smaller that I could wear ALL the time, versus something too big to practically wear every day. It's not like people woudl think they couldn't afford the ring anyways.

    Even a 3 carat center stone is big but not TOO big to wear everyday, or even a big center stone in a big setting....I'd imagine I'd catch something as big as her ring on EVERYTHING. I keep picturing myself tearing out chunks of my own hair!

    Big stones=big prongs!

    Or even a big blingy channel set band? My finger is so sad when it's naked! lol
