Rude remarks about my e-ring...

@Soon2beMrsZ2015, it's so pretty! And it looks great on your hand. Screw those other people!

THANK YOU!

I just don't get people sometimes. Your ring is beautiful!

My ring is an Amethyst, which also happens to be my birthstone. I was shopping with my aunts at Michael Kors one time, and the cashier asked to see my ring, so I showed it to her. She then says, "Oh, it's not a diamond. Well at least it has diamonds going around it." I gave her the look of death, and she walked away. Had she not walked away, I would have said something snippy in response.

People keep telling my ring is "cute" too and it sometimes makes me feel some type of way. He got exactly what I want. It isn't the biggest diamond, but it fits my little fingers. I don't understand why people feel the need to comment on stuff like that.

Melissa, thank you for the explanation. Yes, I know platinum doesn't bend easy but that doesn't necessarily means better (e.g. if you are like me, who's work doesn't involve more than seating at a computer desk all day, it doesn't matter). Hence, going back to the rudeness of some people, I don't get why people are so fixated with thinking e-rings made out of platinum are "better." I think all e-rings are special regardless of the metal or stone.

What is wrong with people??!!! If you don't have anything nice to say then shut your trap!

One of my hater friends who is single and always gets snarky when one of her friends gets engaged said, "oh it's cute, but when I get engaged I need AT LEAST a carat".

I LOVE my ring and I picked it out. It's .78 carats and a high quality diamond. Sorry I didn't live up to her ring standards.

@2014AD, Yeah I agree with you. It definitely doesn't make it any better than any other ring, just more durable. I have a desk job, but I have always had a knack for getting my rings caught up in places and caused my silver rings to bend like crazy so I really appreciated it. People should just be happy the person is engaged instead of ranking their engagement ring. Maybe it's not perfect for them, but it's not theirs so they can shut it!

I think your ring is beautiful. As long as you love it, that's all that matters. Ignore the rude people.

Yes, people can be rude and noisy. I told my FH what I like even showed him. I'm a simple woman. He got me the one within his budget and its beautiful. I'm happy with his choice. And I don't care what others think. To heck with there rude comments. I don't and wouldn't have to answer to them. I'm happy and proud to be wearing what he put on My finger.

Some people just need to be smacked. Repeatedly. Anyone who would be rude enough to make a negative comment about someone else's jewelry, well, their Mom failed them.

There are people out there who feel that an engagement ring has to be big and bold (at least 2 carats and in platinum) to be a "real" engagement ring. Tell them to jump in a lake. LOL! A engagement ring is a personal thing and no one can judge it. So long as you love it that is all that matters.

I really abhor the snide comments when it comes to engagement rings. The love that goes into it is what matters the most.

Just respond with, "Yes, I love it!" and let it go.

My ring is completely fake. Like legit $20 ring set of ebay fake because all of the expensive rings we got kept breaking and losing gems. I was spending more time without a ring then I was with one. It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about ur ring. What matters is what is in ur heart. Ur love it so tell them to fuck off.

I have a 1/2 ct center diam w/ 2 smaller round ones beside it and then the band is diams. We paid cash, so we got what we could afford to pay in cash and although my fiancé wanted me to and it just fits my tiny hands and fingers. We got it from a very nice private jeweler in the area and its good quality, cut and was quite pricey even w/ a 25% discount (the jeweler is also my client so we were able to get a discount).

Since I have had it, I have heard: dainty, petite, feminine, and even thin as descriptions. And also one particular B at work that I hate said out of the clue blue sky "I don't think that's that small I guess".

It actually does bother me a lot, and idk why. So I hear yeah. People are rude as hell. I can sympathize with you

I really like that! Super pretty!

Mine doesn't have a center stone, it's actually and infinity ring with one band that is white gold and the other is diamond paver style. I love it and my man took into consideration that I didn't want something that would stick up in the middle and get caught on everything. I also probably won't have a wedding band since my two bands are intertwined. I know it goes against all tradition, but it is so much more fitting of me and my personality

One of my friends told her (then) boyfriend that when he finally proposed he needed a minimum of a 1.5 karat ring. I wanted to scream at her... "YOUR BOYFRIEND IS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER... Where's he supposed to get the money for that?"

I know what my FH paid for mine, and had he paid any more I would have been angry. We're just starting out in our careers, there's no reason to do it in debt. If in the future we choose to "upgrade" that'll be our choice, but my engagement ring will always be something sentimental.

I get that alot too and totally feel you! Your ring is beautiful and people need to quit being such an ass! I didn't want a big flashy ring because its not me, i tried on a bigger one and it looked like it came out of a candy machine!! lol it looked fake. Were not doing a band, my mom gave me my great grandmothers wedding band which is beautiful and that is what i will wear with it. But i pretty much tell people to f*** off. lol Mine is 5/8 ct. total
