Total stranger asked if my engagement ring is fake

Wow that's rude. It could be because she was honestly jealous of your ring, and she wanted to somehow stir up enough trouble to make you feel bad about your choice in ring. I've never been asked this question, but I get rude or unsolicited remarks about the size of my diamond:

"Is that really an engagement ring?"

" 'Petite' and 'engagement ring' do not belong in the same sentence" (someone commented on a forum about my ring, not on WW. These ladies are a lot nicer here.)

"Atleast you have a wedding band that makes up for the simplicity."

Sympathetically: "Well, maybe one day he'll get you a bigger one." (to which I remarked he wouldn't, because I am in love with my little engagement ring.)

huuuuuugh.

That's disgustingly rude. But I do know someone like that, who asks the rudest and most awkward things, and she's got issues. No one's been rude about mine so far; just the one friend who asked to try it on. I'm really sorry that customer said that!!

Some people...... It was probably my aunt or grandmother. They say dumb shit like that.

We were at a water park yesterday and as much as I love my ring, I left it at home. It's a smidge loose and I was not really wanting to lose it... We were standing on line for the biggest water slide and I was talking to FH about our E-pics this week and that I could order STD's once we got them back. Well the man in front of us turns around and makes a comment about how I shouldn't marry FH if he can't even buy me a ring. I was floored! And I even have a very distinct ring tan on that finger! Some people...

I had a coworker walk 20 blocks just to see my ring. She had asked to see a picture and I never sent it so, she then told me she was walking over. She proceeded by inviting herself to our wedding! I'm not inviting coworkers...

It's rude but it's just some random persons comment, why waste the time giving any thought to it? Obviously that person doesn't know how to talk to people, and that's their problem not yours.

Definitely rude, but as Sue M said, it's just some annoying and rude random person. You will encounter annoying and rude random people who will comment on everything for the rest of your life.

It's a disgusting comment, but yeah... that's people for you. If your ring is small, you'll get told it's cute and you can upgrade someday, if it's larger, you'll get snide comments about how it must be nice to have a rock like that. People just like to comment on things that aren't any of their concern.

I work at a vet clinic and we do horses only. We have a customer to has a "business" (aka money pit/tax write off for rich daddy). She rehabs horses, but with the number of employees she has vs what she charges theres no way she isnt loosing money. We were working on a horse one day and she goes I cant believe you wear that ring to work. I just looked at her and said oh Im pretty careful with it. And she goes oh its fake? No its not fake you dingbat. I work 10 to 12 hr days 6 days a week if I dont wear it to work I get to wear it just when Im sleeping. Some people know how to avoid the tantrums your horses seem to throw on a regular basis. I guess the only ones allowed to wear nice jewelry are those with rich parents.

Ive also had someone say they thought my ring was a promise ring. Due to some error in ordering (a friend was getting us a discount and him and FH together sometimes dont read the fine print) I have a 1 carat main stone, along with at least another carat of little stones. FH had no intention of the main stone being that large it just happened. I replied if this is a promise ring I cant wait to see the engagment ring. The girl who made the comment is about 6 years younger than us and had a major crush on my FH.

Not a rude question but rather a comment. FH's ex-wife saw my ring and asked how much food my ring took out of her kids mouths. This is the same woman who left him, moved in with her boyfriend and collected 6 extra months of alimony. FH pays $1350 in support each month, always on time and never says a negative thing about it. I REALLY don't like her.

I have had a few... "let's see the ring!!!"... I show them the ring... "Oh... that's...cute..."...

Its a small diamond, just like I wanted, antique looking. FH knew I didn't want a large diamond ring and I certainly didn't want him spending thousands of dollars on a ring. The one he got is perfect and is so me.

I just brush these people off. Their opinion means nothing to me!

That was really rude of her....

I get a lot of "oh that's cute....maybe you can upgrade in a few years". Bitch, I WANT a small diamond. I didn't want H to spend more than $500 on it (I don't know what he paid, but probably around that). I love love love my ring and it suits me perfectly. Some people are just nosy and obnoxious

Ugh, rude. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that stupidity.

RUDE.

I mostly get a lot of non-comments or just "oh....." since mine isn't a diamond. I did not want a diamond. The ring was still pricey as fuck and is so so so perfectly me. I don't care what other people think.

Totally rude. I get people who say, "is THAT your engagement ring?" just because it's not a diamond. I did have a complete stranger touch it and say, "that's a pretty tanzanite." To which I responded, "it's a sapphire" and she said, "are you sure?" Um, yes, bitch, I think I know what my ring is.

I've had the same experience as @Mrs. A & J. People at work either don't say anything at all but will gush over other coworkers huge rings in front of me, will say my ring is "cute," or just look at it and go "oh that's nice." My diamond is small, and I love it. People are rude and superficial.

I had a friend ask me if I thought it was too small. My center stone isn't huge but there's smaller stones all over the band so I didn't think I needed a gigantic center stone and was fine with it until she said something. I've been self conscious about my ring ever since even though I'm the one who picked it out.

I've never had someone ask me that but I had someone tap on it like they thought it was plastic or something.

I've had people make comments about how much money my husband must make since my ring is on the larger side. It's moissanite, which I will gladly tell anyone who cares, so while it was not cheap it didn't cost what a diamond of it's size would have.
