Ring Shaming because it costs alot? Opposite spectrum

OMG we literally do have the exact same ring! I love it and it is so shiny. your picture is more clear and it looks SO beautiful but pictures do not do our ring justice. In person, I get the most comments lmao.

I love ovals! I think the only way I’d think a ring looked too expensive is if it was literally the size of a Ring Pop. I’m talking too big to even wear without hurting yourself.
Since people are a bit more practical with a ring they wear every day, I have yet to see that!

This is surprisingly a thing many of my coworkers say if I had a “big beautiful ring like Cynthia” first I think my ring is a perfect size for me I have chubby fingers lol and I’ve seen much bigger, ppl shouldn’t be shamed for their rings. They shouldn’t be saying that our FH’s spent too much on it. I always respond saying we own a home 🏡, we have 95% of our wedding paid that we payed with our own money we work hard for what we have and have savings(so it’s not like we are irresponsible with our money) and we should spend on what we want lol 😝 so don’t let ppl shame you.

Don’t ever worry about what they think. Your man picked it for you to show his love. It doesn’t matter the size big or small

Your ring is gorgeous and, as well as other girls here, I don't discuss the price of my belongings to anyone. I didn't want a diamond to be the center stone, so my husband got me a blue topaz ring and the small stones are diamonds. I love my ring and it could have cost $10 or $10,000 and it wouldn't have mattered to me, the love of my life gave it to me and that's all that matters Some women like small rings, some others like big rings, regardless of your taste, you should wear your ring with pride.

Girl, your ring is beautiful! I HATEEEE when people say things like "oh, I wouldn't wear that..." especially when you NEVER asked for their opinion (she's probably jealous that she's either not engaged or HER own ring isn't what she wanted it to be... Don't let the haters get to you. Like someone mentioned above, wear it proudly. Its stunning

Where I work part of the time, we have a district split in groups of people. One group, also most of the younger ones, are attached to the dance, aorobics, and diet/ nutrition group of services . The rest is medical therapies and rehab. One very competitive about best dressed, assess everyone else by weight, by value of possessions, and always offering " helpful " comments , primarily to those of us not interested in hearing them. Very competitive vs. Who cares? Split it attitudes. So when my new and very young student intern came in 2 weeks ago with a new engagement ring, a few OT's were saying, I hope she is thick skinned, " they" bill be on her like a pack of wild dogs. Yep, in minutes. Then my aide's voice, quite clear from the hallway, " I was taught that when you buy something you take off the price tags, and ever after only people with no class at all discuss the cost of their own things, or what anyone else has. " And she just sailed on in through a stunned group waiting to tear her apart and belittle her. ( What they call, be excited for her ) Too small, you poor thing, or oh dear, your boyfriend can't really show you off, so he picked a big ring--- this crew always ends up making people feel bad. I am so impressed with her poise and self possession, the way she spoke up. And she is exactly right. Say something flattering, or shut up . No one needs a cost analysis, or consolation on how maybe if they save a lot of money, they can get a nicer one for their 5th anniversary. Be nice, or say nothing.

View Quoted Comment Your ring is stunning, and I definitely had the same reaction when mine told me how much it cost! He waited a year later to tell me... although this was after I unknowingly knocked it in the drain😜

My best friends husband did this, more so bragging because he got a beautiful ring for my best friend for $700 cause he bought it from some guy that just broke things off with cheating fiance..... idk how proud I would be to buy that ring but hey whatever floats your bought. I just smiled and brushed it off! Don;'t let it get to you, wear it proud!

Thank you. I refuse to know how much my ring costs. When we called to get it added to the homeowner's insurance I left the room lol.

View Quoted Comment I absolutely love this!!! Exactly just say "Congratulations" and be excited with the person

View Quoted Comment Hahahaha oh gosh!! Don't blame you there!!

View Quoted Comment Funnily enough, I just heard the practical speech from another past co-worker. I'm a Jewelry DM for Walmart, and we had issues getting her now husband a ring because he had a large finger. My FH has a size 15 finger, so we're creating a custom band, with the tungsten design he liked. When I had told her this she made the comment "I’d much rather go on a trip than have a shiny piece of metal that’s gonna sit in a jewelry box most of the time, but that’s us." Never told her a price, just said we got his band in a style he liked.

Wedding/engagement rings are like baby pictures - even if you think it's hideous, you do not say it. That woman is socially inept.

Side note: I'm not into big rings. I am a minimalist in almost all areas of my life. That said, I think your ring is very nice and really fits your hand well - meaning, it doesn't look awkward on you. On me, the ring would be wearing my finger 😂.

View Quoted Comment Thank you!!! I just think when people make ring size comments thier missing the mark. It's not about the price or size, it's a symbol of commitment. Paying more or less doesnt define the commitment of the relationship

My ring is about 1 carat. My fiancé wanted to get a bigger one actually, but he settled with the 1 carat and I LOVE IT!
I think yours is beautiful and a perfect size!
I understand the rude comments. Just ignore them and come up with a bomb clap back! Hah

I also agree with previous posters about how it looks on your hand. Some people can’t wear big rings well, but yours is stunning!

View Quoted Comment Oh girl I'm definitely guilty of the same thoughts, I'm a jewelry DM at Walmart, so I've helped many couples pick out rings. I definitely get a little judgemental when the woman picks out something from the $8.88 tower and the guy gets a stainless steel band for $38... and then the woman pays for it all. On the opposite end I enjoy the couples who come in who've been together 30+ years and they just want some different rings, or even the younger couples who pick out rings together, and you can just see how cute and in love they are!

I live in UT where people date for 4 months, get engaged, are married 2 months later, and then have 37 babies. They are all also very young, like early 20s, so a lot of them can't afford big nice rings. I also work with lots of catty women and some aren't paid very much, so sometimes I feel a little bad and feel like I'm showing off or something because I do get comments from time to time. My ring honestly isn't even that big, it's just really shiny. We also have been together for almost 5 years (which apparently is outrageous here, totally normal where I grew up) and he would have proposed a long time ago, but he wanted to get out of debt and save up so he could get a ring that was, in his eyes, just right. At first, I didn't wear my ring very much because I felt like I was rubbing salt in wounds or... WHATEVER. I've recently started wearing it more often because quite frankly, I'm so proud of him and our love and all that mushy stuff and it took him months to pick out a ring. I'm finally starting to feel comfortable in it and now I just brush off the comments as jealousy, which helps me stay in my happy bubble.

View Quoted Comment Ooohh I bet its beautiful!! I totally agree it's like Harry Potter, "The ring chooses the wearer"
