Ring Shaming because it costs alot? Opposite spectrum

Ignore the haters!

someone will always have something to say, i think it all comes down to jealousy! lol but your ring is beautiful! if she says something again i would say "well then be happy its not on your finger, its on mine" lol

That's weird to me. I would never discuss the price of my ring or any of my belongings for that matter. All I will tell people is that it is a real diamond, as well as the diamonds on the wedding band and let them imagine the price for themselves (it's probably cheaper than they would think lol). But I just want to know why you care so much about what that girl thinks? It's obviously coming from a place of jealousy or she wouldn't say it at all. Sorry you're experiencing that.

I've had a few people ask how much my ring costs which is always SO inappropriate (in my opinion). But I've never had anyone say it was too big or too expensive. I think it depends on the friend group too. A lot of our married friends have at least 1 carat center diamonds if not more.

This is so weird. I agree, ignore the haters! I actually made my FH promise me we'd never discuss the cost of my ring and I prefer it that way Some people say "oooh so big!" while others say "ooooh it's so dainty!" and I just smile, thank them, and go on my way. Who cares what anyone thinks?

I agree that discussing the cost of anything is rude and inappropriate. My ring is an antique opal ring that belonged to his great grandmother and to me it is priceless. I had a diamond engagement ring the first time round and I love my opal ring more.

"I can't believe you asked such a question!" would be my response.

First off, your ring is GORGEOUS!

My ring is an heirloom and I've received several comments such as, "How many carats?" "What does your FH do for work?" "Is that a real diamond?" "What was that ring appraised/insured for?"Or when discussing honeymoon, "Judging my the rock on your finger, you can afford to go anywhere for your honeymoon."

People are rude. Don't let them get to you. Be proud of that stunning ring.

only picture I have lol

I've heard comments that my fiancee spent to much, and that would could have used the money on something else. We probably could have, but he wanted me to have it because i've been frugal all my adult life and he wanted me to have something special. I didn't know he was proposing, he picked the ring out on his own. We never talked about rings, but he knew what i'd love. Here is mine

my wedding bandmy engagement ring

Ugh people are so rude! It's never appropriate to comment on the price of a ring. My first ring(previous marriage) had a diamond that was just over half a carrot and I worked as a waitress and people commented all the time about why I was working there if my fiance at the time could afford such a nice diamond. It was his grandmothers and very high quality diamond so that thing was super sparkly lol.

This time around the diamond is a tiny bigger and my mom thinks my diamond is huge but I guess it's big compared to hers. She's the only one who has ever commented on the size this time around. DH said one day he wants to upgrade mine and wishes he had been able to afford a bigger diamond. I love it though and don't want to upgrade for 2 reasons. This is the ring he proposed with and I have short stubby fingers and a bigger diamond would take over my finger lol.

BTW your ring is STUNNING. It looks perfect on your finger....and I'm a bit jealous of your nice longer fingers lol

Here's mine

Comments other than, "It's beautiful, I'm so happy for you!" are always going to be weird, rude and jealous.

The first thing my aunt said to me was, "what is that, one carat?". Like what if I said it was 4 carats (it obviously is not) would you call me out? Who cares what size it is?! She's notorious for saying rude things to people and not realizing it. She will probably be the first person after we are married to ask if I'm pregnant yet. UGH!

Why can't people just be happy for you and move on? BTW, your ring is beautiful, and I'm so happy for you!

Your ring is just that.... YOURS! My ring is much smaller compared to my FSILs and I'm fine with that. I'm not much of a jewelry person, I work with my hands all day, and honestly I would probably catch a bigger ring on everything lol.

When my brother said how much he paid for his fiancée's ring, my FH nearly choked. My FH had recently lost his job when he proposed; and promised to upgrade me on our 10 year anniversary.
