I accidentally seen a rendering photo of my custom engagement ring and it's literally everything I asked for except 1 thing I absolutely despise… Jewelry and in particular engagement rings are HEAVILY influenced by trends and the time period. Which is great IMO, but some people tend to be negative about anything they can label as ‘dated’. Halo engagement rings trended heavily for quite a large chunk of the last 20 years, now they are not so trendy.18 votes, 34 comments. 48.1k members in the EngagementRings community.

Of course a broke 19-year old guy isn't going to see the sense in spending $5k, $10k, $15k or more on a ring. For those who are more established in their lives, they may see more value in it.It really doesn’t matter if a bunch of internet strangers love or hate your ring, what ultimately matters is how you feel about it. I’m a firm believer that you should be happy with the ring you are going to be wearing for the rest of your life, and I can understand your frustration at feeling unheard by your fiance.I recently saw the ring my boyfriend is planning on proposing to me with the problem is I hate it. It’s gold which is what I wanted but a god awful lab emerald stone. With white diamond accent it looks…I’ve spend so much time showing him what I want and it’s nothing like what I wished for. I think it’s a mix of personal preference plus what’s “trending”. I recall in my early 20s (10 years ago) allllll my friends who were getting engaged pretty much had the same exact ring. Round or princess center diamond with a diamond halo in white gold. This was the type of ring that was trendy at the time. Talk to him gently, say you appreciate the sentiments but you had really hoped for a different ring and can you go together to see what the options are. The proposal is already done so if you find a new ring, have a fancy date night to celebrate and make memories that way. Definitely talk to him. All over the big center piece of the ring and just horrible, I never wear it because I feel embarrassed about it, I like very simple and classic rings, he never asked what I liked and I never mentioned it because I didn’t expect him to propose and tbh as silly as it sounds I thought “he knows me” he has seen what kind of jewelry I use, so he’ll ...Talk to him gently, say you appreciate the sentiments but you had really hoped for a different ring and can you go together to see what the options are.

Your approach can be that you love the gesture of being trusted with an heirloom, can’t wait to carry on the legacy of his family’s love and hand it down to theoretical future children, etc. BUT you’d rather keep such a SIGNIFICANT piece for special occasions and pick out a simple wedding band for everyday wear.Edit: Today the cost of creating a lab diamond is $300-$500 per carat.

Article continues below advertisement. First, @chaeronaea joked that she couldn't stop thinking about what is ominously known as the "Ugly Engagement Ring thread."I’ve actually never seen my mother’s engagement ring. She just wears her wedding ring all the time. I’m planning to wear my wedding ring solo, partly because I don’t like the feeling of stacked rings, but also because I honestly didn’t realize stacking you wedding and engagement rings was a thing until a few years ago. My partner of 2 years Jake, proposed to me in front of a Chinese takeout shop. But not just in front of the shop, in the car, that I was driving as he doesn't drive. No speech, no ring, no reason, just "you wanna be my fiancé?"... I was shocked and I didn't even respond. I saw it coming after him talking all day and putting pressure on the topic. In my culture, we don’t wear engagement rings. I used to live in France and the whole “big is better” is totally not how they think. Quality over quantity or size is how they/we think. Comparing rings is totally a North American thing. The engagement ring is a symbol of love and the relationship. What matters is you love each other. Y don't u chip in the money above the $2000 your boyfriend wants to spend. U chip in $2000 & your boyfriend chip in $2000 that means u can buy a $4000 ring. He wants to spend $1,000, I am liking rings for $2,000. My initial post asks if I’m being unreasonable. Relationships are a series of negotiations with each other.Before Christmas we went ring browsing at Kays and I mentioned I would like a boutique ring store instead if possible and he said oh of course it's… The value holding argument for diamonds vs. moissanite is truly ridiculous. First, most people don't buy engagement rings with the intent of ever needing to sell them. Second, moissanite is 1/10th the price of a diamond, if not less (and that's comparing a colorless, flawless moissy with a low-end diamond).2. Modify It. You might also be able to tweak it to create something more aligned with your taste and lifestyle. Add a halo, remove the side stones, swap out the band and so on. 3. Exchange or Sell It. You may come to the mature decision to swap your current ring because it's not worth wearing something so expensive that you don't love ...Welcome to r/AmITheAsshole.
