Engagement ring pictures

I don't mind sending the pic. It's just a picture of my hand with a ring on it, so strangers having it doesn't bother me too much.

However I do totally understand how awkward it is when they ask for price and carat. There is no reason for them to need that information and it's pretty rude/weird... Are they comparing your rings? It's not like having a bigger rock or a more expensive setting means anything other than different people spend different amounts on rings... so weird. I usually just brush them of with like "he didn't say exactly" or something like that. Usually I turn to bragging that he got it himself without any input from me and then people stop asking. :p

I think it's weird. Honestly, I don't even like those threads here, as much as I love looking at rings.

I don't like them...they honestly don't do it justice and the camera on my phone can be a turd anyway. Not many people ask, but when they do, it makes me nervous. I dunno why..lol. I love my ring .

The phone pics never do them justice. I hate the ring threads on here.

Also I find it weird that anyone would ask about cost and carat. I also wouldn't answer that.

I mean, strangers see my ring on my hand every day. Some of them comment on it to say that it looks similar to theirs, it's pretty, etc. I don't get what the big deal is about showing people you know.

I totally agree with you- telling people how many carats in the center stone gives me the willies. I always say, "i didn't ask him" or "I thought it was rude to ask". They get the hint lol. If they do ask for a picture I don't have a problem sending it, however. It's something pretty that people get excited about. Just like showing a picture of my dress. But then if they ask, "how much was it?" it enters into the realm of rudeness again and I get ticked

Like someone else said, strangers see my ring everyday. I'm pretty proud of it, so strangers are welcome to look at it as much as they like! Lol. As far as price goes, I don't let silly things like that make me angry. I'll say something like 'I'm not sure, didn't care to ask!' And then never think about it again. Pointless to get mad at silly things, especially when they more than likely didn't mean anything by it.

Everybody likes to look at rings. Common courtesy would dictate that you don't ask how much or how many karats. We have all seen some rings that are not typical or not your taste. Just keep the comment positive.

I have no problem sharing pictures of my ring. Are you worried someone is going to track you down and try to rob you? If I had the diamond from Titanic I might be hesitant but I highly doubt anyone is going out of their way to come after my ring. If someone asks me about the size and cost I answer it. I think we got a good deal and if I can help other couples I do. I'm also not shy about my financials and honestly if I ask a friend how much they make they just tell me. It's not a big deal. I wouldn't ask a complete stranger.

Have I shown my ring, yes. Has anyone had balls to ask my the $ or carat, no.

Erings/wedding rings are beautiful! Mostly because if the meaning/relationship behind them. FH mentioned something about upgrading my ring n I was a little pissy about that...hell no! Society makes some feel like bigger is always better n I simply can't ever see exchanging the ring he picked for me=special.

Haha I love my ring, so I love sharing pictures with those who ask. I've never had anyone ask me the price or number of carats though. That's extremely rude.

I did not feel this way about sending pictures of my engagement ring. However, I had a close friend who asked to see a picture of my dress and now, people who I did not show the dress to are telling my fiancé and family members details about it. My advice is, if you don't want others knowing details of your ring or anything else, do not send them pictures!

It's a ring. You're freaked out people are going to know personal intimate details about you because they saw a random picture of a ring? That seems super paranoid.

Not very many people asked to see pictures of my ring and I didn't post any on social media. But if a friend I never see in person asked to see a picture I wouldn't be freaked out to send it to them.

I've never had anyone, stranger or otherwise, ask how many carats my ring is either.

I love showing off pics but not once have I been asked how much my ring cost. I had a friend ask how many Carats but she works in the jewelry industry in New York and won't see my ring in person until I see her on New Years. The size of the rock also doesn't determine cost. Cut, clarity, and origin also determine the cost, not even including the setting.

They aren't n00dz. What is the issue? The ring is on your hand for the world to see anyway

I thought this was going to go a whole different direction about finding excessive ering pictures on social media irritating lmao.

Only my mother, sister, and best friend who live 3 hours away asked for pictures of my ring when I told them on the phone, and I had no problem sharing.

I don't have a huge impressive diamond so I've never had anyone ask me about carat or cost like that.

Are you really newly engaged? Because people generally stop asking about it all the time pretty quickly after they've seen it, other than the occasional stranger who comments.

No one has asked me any of these types of questions about my ring. They only say things like "oh that's lovely" and "sapphires, of course."

Asking about the COST and CARATS???? That's a shocking level of rudeness!! Feel free to tell them they are being rude and shut that down, immediately.

As for the picture, I don't think there's anything odd about sharing a picture. You're literally going to be wearing this for the rest of your life, its not like people won't see it!

Nope. I love my ring and love showing it off. If anyone has the audacity to ask about carats and cost (and some have), I'll tell them. My husband works hard to afford the life we have and that includes my ring. Although I do think it's very rude to ask!

To me, broadcasting it is a way to get it stolen. My ring is a stunning solitaire with some weight to it. I didnt want to flaunt my ring because thats not what my marriage is about.
