Rude remarks about my e-ring...

You are all. WONDERFUL! I'm laughing hard at some of these comments!!

I wish I could upload a pic, I don't think I can on the mobile app.

Dont let them bother you. All that matters is you guys like it!

I feel your pain. I love my ring and I picked it out myself basically. I asked my FH to not spend more than $200 on a ring because I am not a jewlery person and lose everything. He still bought a nice $4,000 dollar ring that it just exactly what I wanted. Still my other friend got engaged the same time I did and her FH spent $20,000 on her ring. I got a lot of comments about how her FH must love her more and rude stuff like that. My one "Friend" who is now no longer my friend just saw my ring and was like "I would NEVER accept a ring for less than $10,000, that says a lot..." I was like "yeah it says a lot about what kind of person you are"

As long as your FH got you something he can afford with you in mind that is all that matters. People are rude and hateful.

Ignore them! Being engaged or getting married is not about the size of the ring or about a diamond. It's about the commitment you're making to each other.

I didn't get any of those rude comments, luckily because I know it would be hard to not say something rude back. Besides, you can look back on your ring and cherish it for years to come and it is also a symbol of where you guys were at in life when he proposed.

Future Mrs. Smedstad- Our rings are almost identical! Except mines princess cut and yellow gold.

I have an aquamarine, which is exactly what I wanted and I get those same comments all the time. If I take the time to tell the story behind it, people go "awww" but really I don't want to justify it ever...it's beautiful and I love it and that's all that matters. I also would have killed him if he spent the $ on a big diamond, I am just not that girl!

I got the "Oh that's......nice" from our HR director at work right after I got engaged. My diamond is small but it's perfect for me. I love it. I had a big honking diamond when I was married the first time and I hated it. I never wore it. My FH got me exactly what I wanted and it's perfect. So if someone doesn't want my small diamond and my grandmothers simple wedding band they can kiss my royal hiney.

It's still big enough that it will leave a mark on your face when I hit you with it.

My ring isn't big either and it's a fraction of the cost of my friend's rings. Fortunately they are all too classy to say anything rude about it. Plus they know I really would hit them.

My bridesmaid called my ring cute.

My non verbals don't lie to which she quickly said "I love it" lol

She also called my wedding dress cute....to which I replied "pardon me? cute?"

And she then said "I mean its beautiful"

I think she just calls everything cute...but it irks my nerves lol

Ugh. I would slap a bitch.

I got a few comments about my previous ring before getting a new ring and I just kept my mouth shut and smiled. People are rude and materialistic.

People are so rude...as long as you love it-that's all that matters. I would tell them, "I love my man and my ring!"

Personally, I want a small ring! I've never liked things big and flashy. I told FH it had to be 10k white gold no higher because it would be weaker and I would find a way to break it, no bigger than 1/2 carat.

Don't even listen to them. I bet they don't have a ring on their finger.

My godmother told me that my ring was "dainty" when she saw it for the first time. I could have decked her.

Sorry you are going through this bull shit. Maybe you should say "Well, Kim K had a giant ring and her marriages lasted 72 days." Ha!

@FitBride - right on!

I'm sure it's aggravating to hear comments like this. Why people feel they need to be so rude is beyond me. Don't even waste your breath replying. They're not worth it.

@ Amber. One of the local radio stations had a discussion a few months ago about engagement rings and such. You should have heard the number of people like your "friend" calling in and saying "If it's not at least 1 ct, princess cut ring then I won't except it." Really......

I've been lucky and only have received positive feedback about my ring. Can't believe the comments some people have said to you ladies.

I always respond to rude comments about anything with a wide-eyed, "Wow." That's it. I'm not saying anything mean or rude back and stooping to their shitty level but then they KNOW they've said something inappropriate.

People are ridiculous. There are all types of couples, and all types of engagement rings in this world. None is greater than the other. The people who make these types of comments are the same people who are so insecure in their own lives or relationships that they feel a giant diamond is necessary to PROVE something.

My ring is not small, nor is it particuarly large. It's exactly my taste, exactly what I wanted, and it didn't cost more than my FH could afford. A friend of mine recently got engaged and made a big show of putting her (much larger) ring up against mine. I knew exactly what she was doing, but it didn't bother me. Her tastes have always been much flashier than mine and she gets a big thrill out of things like that. Of course they are paying for it, considering they are both already very much in debt, and she told me that that honker ring she's wearing will take a few years to pay off. It's a beautiful ring, but just not really my style (aesthetically or financially speaking).

Stephanie, I like your response. I'm going to adopt that in the future (for whatever rude comments people say, not necessarily just about rings).

I think we all get so offended by comments degrading our rings because they seem like a degrading comment towards our FH's, and that brings out our angry side! My ring isn't big, but it's a very high-quality diamond and I have little stumpy fingers that would look ridiculous with a big ring.
