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...
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

    Sweetie,
    It is beautiful and looks so good on your hand. And you said that this family member is toxic, so why should their opinion even matter?
    Quite honestly, I think anything bigger would be too big on your hand and that what you have is perfect. Don’t let the negative Nancys in this world drain your happiness. If they truly love you, then they will just be happy for you. The size of the ring doesn’t matter. It’s the size of the love behind it that does.

    OMG that is so rude of them!! The size of the ring isn't what matters, the fact that you are engaged to be married shows how much your SO loves you and that is what is most important! Our engagement/wedding rings aren't real diamonds but that doesn't mean my FH loves me any less! We just decided to not spend our lives savings on something that clumsy me might lose lol! Tell your toxic family to suck it! Smiley heart Smiley heart Smiley heart BTW I love your ring!

    Your ring is beautiful!!!!! And your family member that made that comment is an asshole! I am very sorry that someone had the audacity to say something like that to you!!!! Your fiance spent time and money picking that ring out for you and gave it to you with a lot of love! Love your ring and enjoy being engaged. Show it off and be proud of it!

    Congratulations on your engagement!!!!

    As other PP said....key word is TOXIC. Do NOT let family bring down your happiness and joy. A ring is all about what is symbolizes not how big or how much it cost. A ring can be small but can still cost a lot depending on the metal and diamonds used.

    I think you hit the nail on the head when you called them toxic. Please do not listen to them. What matters most is you love it.

    Your ring is beautiful! And it'll be a lot of fun to pick out a wedding band -- you'll have so many options.

    My engagement ring is on the ornate side and it's going to pose some problems for resizing, and doesn't fit perfectly with my wedding band (but I don't care because I love them both!).

    Always trust your gut, and don't worry about what other people are thinking or saying. As you plan a wedding, people are going to have a lot of opinions, but you want to make sure that you and your FH's thoughts are at the core of your decision-making.

    Congratulations. I love your ring because mine is similar, I love the meaning behind my ring and the story it tells.

    This sounds like the perfect time to focus on limiting your interaction with toxic relatives. You don't need to continue to socialize with them just because they are family. And obviously, since you already know they are toxic, their opinions don't matter in the slightest.

    I'm sorry your family feels the need to bring you down. Your ring is beautiful and a classic style that will be be beautiful for years to come. It's your ring and if you love it that's all that matters.

    Literally no one gets an opinion about your ring but you and your partner. My ring is "small" by e-ring standards and has a gray diamond (so not scoring very high on the "clarity" and "color" scale by which diamonds are graded). I never wanted a big, flashy ring and love unique stones, so my ring is perfect for me! To some superficial outsider it probably looks like he cheaped out if you are going by the social standard of a really big flawless stone, but that isn't what I wanted at all. Frankly if anyone criticizes my ring it's like they failed a 10 second test as to whether or not I'm going to give them any value or weight in my life.


    Whoever pointed out that your ring is smaller is just a rude person. You called them "toxic" and it's pretty clear that's exactly what they are. Don't pay them any mind.
