Is my ring good enough

Gonna Be A Busch2022, on July 5, 2020 at 7:55 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30
I’m going to sound like a complete brat and don’t mean to be, I got engaged last night I love my ring and love my fiancé and it was brought up by a toxic family member that my ring is significantly smaller than my sisters and cousins which it is but I love it, is my ring too small? Now I’m questioning is my ring good enough to be a engagement ring I’m new to this I love it won’t change it but just hurt that my wedding ring isn’t considered a real ring to other family members

    Your ring is your ring not because of how it looks or the size. All engagement rings look different and neither one is better than the other. It is special because the person you love gave it to you. Sorry to sound direct but the question is it good enough is irrelevant. Honey, ignore others. The reality is this, everyone has different expectations and tastes. Some prefer grandiose things and some prefer simple. It sounds to me you like you loved it before others started getting into your head. Is that correct? In my opinion these people I would limit any wedding planning talk as it sounds to me that they will be critical and have you questioning everything. Your ring is fine and it is special because of the fact someone who wants to spend the rest of their life with you gave it to you. Smiley smile

    Your relatives sound petty. There is no relationship between the size of the ring and the amount of love between the couple. There isn't anything wrong with larger rings, just as there is nothing wrong with smaller rings. As long as you love it, and more importantly you love your fiance, that's all that matters. People will always find a reason to gossip.

    That’s so rude to even mention. Honestly my ring is smaller/dainty compared to others which I love. We picked it out together and it’s just what I wanted. You do you and don’t let them rob you of your joy!

    What's important is the sentimental value of the ring. Not how big it is or much it cost. This is the ring your FH picked out just for you. Don't let other peoples opinions take away the sentimental value because of what THEY think an engagement ring should look like.

    Your ring is beautiful! I have one very similar. It’s simple just as I wanted. I don’t like the large, overly ornate rings and my FH knew that. Please don’t let anyone make you think your ring isn’t good enough. It’s perfect and your family members are jerks. Their opinions are irrelevant.

    First, that’s rude and disrespectful! I would never say anything like that to anyone, let alone someone in my family! Your marriage is about you and him. Not a ring (or the size of it for that matter). Let me know if those marriages last for those that are worried about “the size” of the ring.

    As the quote says “Comparison is the thief of joy”... and it’s so true. Until she said something about your ring, you had no doubts. Well, you said multiple times in your post that you love your ring. So, YES, it’s “good enough” for that reason alone and many other reasons. So wear your ring with pure confidence and remember that a ring is a symbol of the union... it doesn’t measure love and the size doesn’t ensure a good, strong or lasting marriage.

    If you love your ring and your fiance, ignore them. It sounds like they are trying to create unnecessary drama and competition.

    It's normal to let others get into your head. That is the sad part about life and especially when it comes to wedding planning. I think your ring looks lovely and I love the confidence you have. Just ignore them. Congrats on the engagement btw. Smiley smile

    Your ring is beautiful. Your family member sounds like maybe she's a little jealous. If you love your ring that's all that matters. Whenever they bring it up to you I would just say not everyone has the same taste. Wear that ring with pride your fiance had you in mind when he picked it out for you. Don't let anyone ruin it for you.

    Congratulations on your engagement! Your ring is beautiful! When my husband proposed to me we were in our early 20's . He bought me a ring that is on the smaller side (by other's standards) and I have loved it from the moment it was put on my finger. We have been married for 30 years and every now and then he apologizes for the size and wants to upgrade it and I refuse. It was picked out by him with love and I will never replace it.

    Your ring is absolutely gorgeous. I love it. Plus it’s a symbol of your fiancés love for you. I’m sorry people can be absolutely horrible. If he had gotten you a giant ring they would have said why did he spend so much, what are you guys trying to prove, you must think you’re better. You can’t win with people like that. They will say anything to make themselves feel better.

    Congratulations! I used to work at a jewelry store, and I can honestly say that there is nothing wrong with your ring! The ring is a symbol, and the love and promise that it represents is what counts. It came from a place of love. Don’t listen to what anyone else says!
    Solitaires are absolutely classic styles, too. They’ll never be outdated, and your band options to pair with it are endless! It’s a great engagement ring all around.

    A Ring Is A Ring No Matter What. It Isnt A Competition To See Who Gets The Biggest, Flashiest One. The Meaning Behind It Is All That Matters. Mine Is Similar And I Love It.
