STUDY: The bigger the diamond, the bigger the chance for divorce

They say a diamond is forever, but can it lead to divorce?

New research from emory university suggests the bigger the diamond — the shorter the marriage.

But it’s not just about the big bling.

The study also suggests the more expensive the wedding — the higher the divorce rate.

Researchers surveyed three-thousand adults who have been married at some point.

Here’s what the study found:

Men who spent between two and four grand on rings — were more likely to end up divorced than men who spent less than two grand.

The same thing is true for the women receiving the rings.

The more expensive — the more likely women reported being divorced.

And for those big fat weddings?

Women whose big days cost 20 grand or more — are three point five times more likely to divorce — than women who spent between five and ten thousand dollars.

Men — if you want to use this to get out of buying a more expensive ring — there is one catch.

Those potential grooms who spent less than 5-hundred dollars on a ring — also experienced high rates of divorce.
