View Quoted Comment Your ring is beautiful!!! And you are soo right!!

That is gorgeous! I bet she's just jealous of how happy you are.

View Quoted Comment I love your square halo!! Plus there can NEVER be too much sparkle 🤗 that's something I love about mine especially on sunny days!

I think it is weird in general if people comment on the cost of the ring, whether high or low. In my opinion, it is between you and your spouse. Everyone has different tastes and lifestyles that may make a big difference in what kind of ring you have. It really is just a sign of commitment. I personally love my diamond ring and it is very special to me since my FH picked it out by himself with me in mind, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea. We should instead all be celebrating the fact we have made such a wonderful commitment!

The only comment anyone should have for your ring is congratulations, it's beautiful. I'm on the opposite end. I have a morganite center stone and for some reason, I always find myself explaining why it isn't a diamond and people are always surprised when they don't see one. The average cost of an e-ring was well over 5k according to the Knot 2018 survey of 14,000 couples. For someone whose ring was only 1500, I have to remind myself that my FH doesn't love me any less and these days, you can't have everything. We choose to spend our money on different things. Different, not better or more important. I can tell you that your ring is beautiful and no one should be making comments about it. They don't know your finances or what was sacrificed to obtain it. Enjoy it and wear it in good health.

Now that I've read even more replies, I'd like to encourage brides getting comments about how big or expensive to not necessarily shrug comments off as people being jealous. Maybe they are jealous, but maybe not. You don't know what they're feeling. You could ask, but that would be awkward. Dismissing or minimizing people for their comments is just as hurtful as looking down on someone for having a less expensive ring. Just know that maybe they don't have the same priorities. Maybe they choose to spend their money in other ways. If you want to be treated with respect you should treat others with respect.

View Quoted Comment I love it!! It's beautiful!!!

First of all, your ring is gorgeous! And, secondly, yes, I’ve had similar situations. My FMIL actually made a comment to my fiancée when we got engaged... she said “what did you do, rob a bank?” That was literally the first comment she made when we told her we were engaged. It was rude and she was the only one who laughed 🤪

View Quoted Comment I t agree with you to an extent, I'm thinking the polite etiquette when viewing someone's ring is, you pay a compliment and a congrats.

View Quoted Comment See the first line to my first reply. I stand by that. I just encourage you not to put others down to make yourself feel better.

I would only ring Shane an expensive ring if the buyer was asking me for money because they were having financial issues due to spending so much on non-necessities (I.e. engagement ring)!

*I would only ring shame an expensive ring if the buyer was asking me for money because they were having financial issues due to spending so much on non-necessities (I.e. engagement ring)!

First off, your ring is gorgeous! Second, I don't understand why people feel it's okay to openly gripe about our rings. We can never win. It's either too big or too small, cheap or too costly.

Everyone's always going to have an opinion. But this is a super personal piece of jewelry to you and FH, so all that matter is if you love it!

I totally understand and have been in the situation too. We live in a society where everyone seems to voice or type their opinions whether it’s wanted, rude, off topic, or not. I was hurt too when it happened from a coworker but I’m very good at witty comebacks that stun like, wow do you really think that was a nice thing to say to me right now? Then her reply was, I’m sorry I guess I am jealous and that was a backhanded compliment. Honestly though, her comment didn’t hurt it was the fact that she knew some of the heartbreak I had gone through beforehand and she wasn’t truly happy for my happiness. She was bitter. She is the type of person who needs to hear about people’s misery and pain to appreciate her own life. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people like that.

I love your ring! It’s beautiful and I agree there’s never too much sparkle! Congratulations To Us All!

Your ring is absolutely gorgeous!

Its not okay to put others down because their choices or means are different from your own.

I've said things about rings being too big for me..but not about a specific person's ring. FH was told not to go bigger than a half carat..but that's personal preference. I don't wear jewelry. I work outside a lot. It's just not me. Even so..that doesn't mean I don't absolutely love rings that i don't think I would like to wear. Clothes too. I love certain styles that I would never wear myself. But man are they nice to look at.

People will always have comments one way or the other. If it's not your ring, it's the cost of your wedding (whether they know how much it is or not) , the size of your house, what type of purse you carry, etc. Unfortunately some people can be super quick to judge and likes to voice their judgement. Just do you girl!

PS: GORGEOUS ring!

I think it is crazy to comment on someone's ring. Yes, I have a nice blingy ring but what mattered more to me is that my fiance designed my ring. He took the time out to pick the diamond, took months to understand that its not just about caret size, but cut, color, clarity. No one can judge a ring off its size because size doesn't equal price so keep it moving ppl. I hate the "your ring is big" I honestly never know what to say to that. I literally had a guy take my ring off my finger and inspect the diamond, like wth. And the price questions smh, I never asked and never need to know.

I don’t think I’d ever discuss the price of a ring but I have felt like I’ve had to justify the size of my diamond before. A friend has a 1.5 carat solitaire and I have a .5 carat. She commented on the size and I have small hands (ring size is 5.25) so anything larger would’ve looked bigger. But who cares, my fiancé put a lot of thought into the ring he chose me and it’s perfect, I love it and would never change it!
