So if you are one of the people that have been blessed with a gemstone or diamond on the larger size in your engagement ring, and a lot of people have been asking you how many carats is it? And you are just so over it, what I like to say is big enough? And hopefully they’ll just leave it at that and get the hint that you don’t want to talk about it.

If it was me, I would just say, Can I send you a 1099 for being all up my business? Now, I think it can be an uncomfortable conversation, and I don’t think anyone means anything by it. It is snobby regard. I think typically they could just be curious. Maybe they’re looking at rings and they just really like it and they want to know what to ask for.

A way to kind of calm this insecurity of answering this question just because it is uncomfortable, even if it’s really large or really small. Just say, actually, I have no idea. It wasn’t important to us. We didn’t talk about it. Just try to lead them away from even digging further. So just to say you don’t know. It’s simple.

And send them that 1099, if you need to.
