18 karot(sp?) diamond ring appropriate for interviews?

[inside_edition]

Is it appropriate to wear an 18 karot(sp?) diamond ring to an interview? I think the excessive size of it might make it an exception about jewelry in interviews. The ring itself is almost pure gold. I don't know the purity of the gold in karots as it was made in india and is measured in tolahs. It's supposed to bring positive things to the wearer and in gujarati the gem is called guru no nung, lit. gem of teacher, but meaning a gem for professionals.

How would you describe the "bling factor" in comparison to the average women's engagement/wedding ring set?

Also, are you male or female?

hehe..the bling factor is huge. The first day I wore it, a punjabi girl looks at my hand and says "That's a big diamond." Also, I can easily notice that people tend to stare at my hand in places such as lectures, classrooms, etc. The diamond is actually my dad's but he said I could wear it since I got an interview (the assumption is that i'm going to get in). The first time I saw my dad wear it, I saw it sparkle about a half kilometer away.

I'm male.

don't do it. unless you want to be known as _________ (insert something offensive and definitely against SDN TOS).

lol yes

 

[kapil_MD]

hmm I think you'd be better off without it for the interview. I'm in the same situation too - I have a 22 carot brilliant gold ring from India, with a god carved into it - I have an interview coming up, but decided against wearing it. This hot blonde girl asked me about it in sociology, we talked, and she eventually gave me her number (score!).

Honestly, I don't want the interviewer to feel chelous or envious regardless of who it may be. Though it could be a great conversation starter. Hmm, maybe I'll wear it after all 😀

I can't believe you are asking this on the allopathic board; surely you have more important issues. Otherwise bring it to the lounge.

 

[degoo_]

Will it have the same effect if its in your pocket?

If you do keep it on, I can imagine setting up a nice story about the ring, perhaps family history or something where you can get some nice conversation going. Just make sure you don't blind them when hand gesturing.

yes, that's what I was thinking. Because of the size of the ring, a person in close proximity can't help but comment and this would make a good conversation starter.

This is the only ring i'm wearing to my interviews:

if you have to ask,it's a problem. Your interview should focus on your desire to be a dotor; if this detracts from it, refrain from wearing it.

 

[Hard24Get]

This is the only ring i'm wearing to my interviews:

We wants it! Bring it to us, precious, and you're in! 😀

Is it 22 carats of gold or diamond? If diamond, thats A LOT🙂 is this a common thing in india?

 

[kapil_MD]

22 carots of gold.

Gold is the jewelery of choice in India. Nobody really wears diamonds there, its really not popular. Gold as well as multi-colored gems ie sapphire, ruby etc are popular.

As a diamond lover, and by this I mean I would marry a big beautiful diamond if the law allowed 😀 I think that you are not saying what you mean correctly. Ok the Karats of gold are much much different than the Carats of Diamond.

Karat- Means the purity of the metal, in this case it is gold, and that has nothing to do with size. You could have a strand of gold the size of a hair and it could be 22 Karat gold.

Carat- Means the unit of mass of a gem or diamond. So when you see a diamond, if it is very small then it has a low carat weight, if it is very big like my engagement ring then it has a high carat weight. I had to throw that in there because I love my engagement ring (2.5 Carat round cut diamond, breathtaking and very very expensive).

So when you say that you think it is too "blingy" the Karat of gold has nothing to do with how big it is, so you should be more specific like how many mm's is the band (the width of the band). Geez, I can tell you are all guys on here not knowing crap about the most beautiful stone ever, although it is over priced. You better start learning because when you meet a girl that you love the best way to her heart is through a huge diamond set in a beautiful setting. The last thing you want to do is walk into a jewelry store and have them pretty much bend you over and rape you with the ridiculous mark up on diamonds.

Oh and no you should not wear a huge gold ring, thats just weird unless you are married. Not saying that guys cant wear jewelry, and who knows they may not even notice it, but for an interview just keep it in your pocket.

 

[etf]

what part of india are you from where it's even legal to sell anything other than 22k? i'm not a big fan of diamonds, because they have no real intrinsic value - they aren't rare; there's just an artificial scarcity caused by the debeer's cartel. hell, it's just like med school admissions - the only reason physicians salaries are so high is because there is an artificial scarcity caused by the aamc.

[noshie]

I know, I have problems. 🙂 I can’t help it. I am really not high maintenance, I don’t care about what my husband will do for a living, I don’t care if he buys me dinner or if I buy dinner, and I am usually the one that buys the gifts for him. I just love diamonds, and since I was little I have always wanted a big diamond engagement ring. Maybe it is my culture, jewelry is very big with our society, people give jewelry usually gold for every occasion. But if you think that not all girls think like this you would be very very surprised. Most of them just don’t care after they realize how expensive it can be. And most usually just want to get married and will settle for anything, not that they are desperate but I guess just getting married is the best part of being engaged. I am happy just getting married, and if he could not buy me a big diamond ring I would probably be happy with whatever. Its really funny, and now your going to think that I am high maintenance, but the first week I met him I told him that when I get married I want a big diamond ring, and he didn’t run away even after 7 years of being together, in fact he was not mad at all. It makes you feel like a princess, and special. There is no other way to explain it.

I would actually be crushed if my bf got me a giant engagement ring. It would tell me he knew nothing about my tastes. I'll take a tastefully sized diamond in a nice setting over something thats going to weigh down my hand anyday!

But if you think that not all girls think like this you would be very very surprised.

You're still making comments to make it sound like all women want that. Most I know couldn't care less. Sure they probably want a diamond engagement ring but (as is true with other things) size is definitely not everything.

Most girls I have dated are not like you. Yes they like jewerly but it is the meaning that counts not "a huge diamond set in a beautiful setting". Any women wish to comment?

No I definitely agree with you. And nothing against the poster who keeps pushing large diamonds, but every girl I've ever met who does care about size of diamonds is EXTREMELY high maintenance. If I were a guy it would be a sign to run screaming in the other direction.

Yes, noshie is slightly superficial (don't worry, so am I 😉 ), but she is right about the karat thing. Karat=purity of the gold.

Anyway, if it's too flashy, don't wear it.

 

[noshie]

Although I understand your stance on the issue, I disagree that girls that want a big diamond engagement ring are high maintenance. And I do know a few girls that dont want a very big ring, but do want a moderatly sized diamond ring. I also know many girls that say they dont want a big ring but ask me to wear mine for a few minutes so they can stare at their hand and admire it. Its really like having a pretty necklace, its just to have a beautiful object. I think that many people like to have nice cars, houses etc, that are not really for use but more for looks. I mean why would they sell luxury cars if people wouldnt buy them to show off to other people. Does that make these people high maintenance? If your husband wants a Lexus or Porshe would you think he is high maintenance? I dont think so, people like different things and have asperations to attain these things someday. Its the same thing with me, I am honestly not high maintenance, I just have always appreciated the beauty of a diamond. The bigger it is the more beautiful the sparkle. A diamond is just something that you can wear everyday and appreciate, it doesnt do anything like a nice car would, but I still like it.

Like I said - just my experience. Its a generalization and I'm sure in some cases its not true.

Plus I know that my opinions are warped. Jewelry was quite common in my family despite our lack of money. Just because over the years its been collected and handed down. So ever since I was quite small I've had diamond rings and every other stone in some type of jewelry. When I was 14 I got my grandmothers 3.5 carot wedding ring, with two other rings that ends up totalling 40 stones and 6 carots. Its ridiculously huge and HIDEOUS to wear. So it sits in a box. So I realize my perspective is warped because I don't see it as a big deal.

Oh and why is the title "18 karot(sp?) diamond ring" if your ring doesnt even have diamonds in it OP? Thats just weird. Im just wondering.

It does have a diamond. He said:
"The first day I wore it, a punjabi girl looks at my hand and says "That's a big diamond." He's saying it's an 18 carot diamond - he even said that he didn't know the gold karots. Although admittedly I think the OP must be mistaken - I don't think an 18 carot diamond would fit on someone's finger.

And see I am not the only one that likes how it feels when Im wearing a big diamond. I love it when people compliment me on my ring. The sparkle is mesmerizing.

If you get engaged (if you are not already) you should have that center stone set in something that you will like better. I know its your grandmothers ring and you probably dont want to move the diamond, but it will make your ring even more special knowing it belonged to her. I wish my mother or grandmother had something to pass down.

Yeah I think I was reading the other guys post and got confused. But I really doubt its 18 Carats, I mean it may be, but that would be too big to wear, even for me.

Yeah, I probably will. I feel a little bad because it could be a very nice heirloom - but I'd feel better putting it to use. I just have to decide if I'll ever be comfortable wearing something that big - even in a different setting. I kind of doubt it, but we'll see. If nothing else I can pass it to my daughters and maybe one of them will like big jewelry enough to reset it.

The Karats v. Carats thing is right -- damn, man, if you had a 18 Carat diamond, if it were good quality you could sell it and retire today 😛, put it in a museum.

Incidentally, anyone who has a real 18 Carat diamond should probably know how to spell "Carat".

Heck, even "Karat" 😛.

 

[kevster2001]

here, wear something less tacky at a fraction of the price

And at 18 carats you'd be sitting on quite a fortune. im guessing you're wrong about something.


As far as girls loving huge diamonds goes, just seems like an interesting experiment in marketing in convincing people to shell at thousands for something that does nothing

 

[Haemulon]

OMG, an 18k diamond is just so tacky and unpractical for a educational interview on so many levels, especially if worn by a guy. I can see a woman wearing something like that in a flashy situation such a a formal ball, but as every day wear?

As a guy, the only ring I want on my finger is my wedding band.

Also, to the poster that is so enthusiastic about huge diamonds (Noshie?), there is nothing wrong with having your own particular tastes and desires. However, be carefull in assumming that most other women feel the same way in really wanting a huge diamond. This is just not the case. I have one family member that wear an enormous diamond, I believe she said it was about 7 carats. Everyone gathers around and says how beautiful it is, and then when she isn't around say things like "Why on earth would anyone want to have something that huge on their hand? It looks really gawdy." For those people with huge incomes that would obviously support really expensive jewelry, they can get away with wearing things like that and not look really out of place. But poor med students and the average middle class joe just looks out of place. Just my opinion though.

Also, I wanted to point out that their can be very large and very sparkling, but still very crappy diamonds. Everyone knows about cut and clarity, for instance, which can make a huge difference in the value of the diamond. A large diamond that is even remotely affordable for most people is usually full of large inclusions or other types of faults. When I buy jewelry for my wife, I try to find the highest quality gems and then get whatever size is reasonable for the cost of that quality level. But thats just me.

 

[degoo_]

There's a commercial on TV now (in Ontario at least) advertising the sale of a diamond ring (1 carat I believe) with mother of pearls on an 18k band.
It is said to be 100% real and comes with a certificate of authenticity to back it up. The cost for such a beautiful ring is 29.95. Anyone else seen the commercial for it? It is too hilarious.

 

[riceman04]

tacky

preaaaaaaaaaaaaach brotha preaaaaaaaaaach!!!!!

 

[Orthonut]

when you meet a girl that you love the best way to her heart is through a huge diamond set in a beautiful setting.

eh? Not true. Patently false. Are you in love with your fiancee or just in love with his pocketbook and the ring on your finger? The first ring Mr O gave me cost less than $5 US. That was our engagement/wedding ring combo (we used just the one, not a double) It is NOT the size of the diamond. Or even what the ring is made of. It's about the relationship between the two people. I hope you two have a very long engagement before your marriage and that if you do eventually get married that you remain happy, but I caution you that marriage is not about "the size of the diamond" it's what's in your partner's heart that counts.


As for the OP, are we talking gigantic stone or extremely pure gold or both? Gigantic stone I'd say no, or pin it inside your pocket if you need it as a spiritual or other charm. Just really pure gold with a small stone...then maybe. But I'd be very careful not to flash it around and do crazy George H.W. (41) Bush hand gestures. I think humongous rings detract from the wearer more often than not unless you are in the proper setting (ie you wouldn't see Sharon Stone wearing a large Harry Winston necklace, earrings, braceletes, rings combo with a tanktop shorts and sneakers-that's for a Versace gown on Oscar night)

On the man side, many guys from the "ring knocker" schools (USMA, USNA, VMI, Citadel, etc) will wear their less formal class ring to things like this-it's a bit smaller and not the bright shiny yellow gold (well, at least at my school it was-I have only heard "that's what we do too" from the other guys. I didn't go to all of the schools, just the one) so it doesn't stand up on your finger and wave a sign "Lookatmeee I"m a humongous ring on a guy's hand!!!"

 

[blackdog280]

Some people are very turned off by men wearing big flashy gold rings. (I'm one of them). So why wear something like that to an interview and take a risk that your interviewer is one of those people who find it very tacky? Leave it at home or in your pocket.

As for the poster who likes gigantic diamonds, there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but she mistakenly assumes that all women want huge diamond rings. Definitely not so. And although I think someone already pointed it out--cut and clarity have more to do with how beautiful and sparkly your diamond is than size. Most large carat diamonds that you see on women's fingers are not great quality (unless they're super rich or movie stars) so when people are gawking at it, it's probably due to the sheer size versus anything else. A 3-carat diamond ring with inclusions and a crappy cut won't cost anymore than a 1-carat ideal-cut brilliant with no or few inclusions. And quite frankly, the higher quality your diamond, the bigger it looks.

Woah!!!😱 ...Slow down there sister...Size might not be Everything but its a close cousin called Something...very important in some specific areanas (ahem)...Hint Hint

And to those of you who shunned the idea of high maintenance...what's wrong with being high maintenance...I mean really...(eating bon-bons with my black mink shawl wrapped callously around my shoulders)

Oh and OP.....I hope your gold ring isn't the same color of yellow I would think it to be to wear it to your interview.....CHEESY

Yeah, as a general rule I think (non-wedding) rings on guys look pretty stupid. The flashier the ring, the more materialistic and/or insecure the guy seems (to me) to be. I suppose there have been a few occasions where a guy was able to pull off wearing a ring, but I'd advise against wearing it in general, and especially to an interview!

P.S. On a related topic: Undergrad and/or med students who wear a rolex are getting pretty close to that "look at my daddy's money" slippery slope too!

Oh, that's very ethical.

How is it unethical? I want to be well compensated for my work and I have no problem with them keeping the standards for medical school high so that we don't dilute the market or put patients at risk.

the thing that i promised myself that i would buy when i get into med school is a nice watch - i'm leaning towards iwc. i can't stand rolexes. i think it was adam smith who said that there was a pleasure to be had simply in admiring the craftsmanship of a well-made watch, even if its extra accuracy was of little practical value. i wholeheartedly agree.
