a bit disappointing fucking hell

MrTwisterHasABlister · 26/12/2025 19:12

It’s not my style but it really suits your hand. Congratulations!

ResusciAnnie · 26/12/2025 19:12

I don’t like it for me but hopefully you like it for you? You probably wouldn’t like mine!

Also you have really nice fingers! They seem long so you could suit something chunkier if you so desired. It’s very timeless and classy.

PeachyKoala · 26/12/2025 19:12

It's not for me but if you like it that's all that matters. Why are you posting, are you unsure about it now?

shhblackbag · 26/12/2025 19:13

The important thing is that you like it.

Why would anyone post anything negative on here? I think it’s beautiful, congratulations!

It’s presumably the same mardy posters who spend all of Xmas day whinging that their presents weren’t fancy enough.

Why people feel the need to piss on other people’s bonfires like this I will never know.

AnneLovesGilbert · 26/12/2025 19:14

Is it what you wanted? You’re the one wearing it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

PhantomOfAllKnowledge · 26/12/2025 19:17

Yes, I do. It's a classic that will never date and will go with any other rings you might want to wear.

I also think solitaires are better value for money than halos or cluster rings. With the latter, you are paying for what are essentially the chipped off bits from solitaires being cut. While they can look very sparkly and pretty, and some of what you pay for is undoubtedly the workmanship of setting all those tiny stones, they don't have the intrinsic worth of solitaires and they can't be reset into an alternative band or piece of jewellery, which lessens the value of such a ring as an heirloom and means that if your fingers later change size, it's harder to do anything with the ring to be able to keep wearing it.

ETA my congratulations on your engagement 😀

A bit more tasteful than some of us might have gone for (apparently), but a beautiful classic ring. Congratulations OP.

SchrodingersKoala · 26/12/2025 19:24

Nope, the stone is way too tiny, I'd have gone for a cluster ring if the budget was an issue. I'm not wearing it though so it doesn't matter what I think, you'd probably hate mine too, it's personal taste.

BoarBrush · 26/12/2025 19:08

I don't like it either, too small for my big hands. But all that matters is whether you love it.

My hands/fingers look very similar to OPs and the smaller styles of ring suit me best. Great big chunky rings just don't look right.

OP, I think it's lovely and suits your hand perfectly.

harriethoyle · 26/12/2025 19:24

Not at all but as long as you like it, that’s all that matters surely?

Oneborneverydecade · 26/12/2025 19:25

It's the same as mine, my DH chose it and I was very happy.

I don't wear it as it became too tight and more recently I lift weights so don't wear any rings

RessicaJabbit · 26/12/2025 19:26

All that matters is that you like it.
Fuck other people.

Freeme31 · 26/12/2025 19:27

Love it congratulations 🥂

TryingToBeHelpful267 · 26/12/2025 19:30

Beautiful

FancyCatSlave · 26/12/2025 19:30

It’s not my cup of tea but I’m not wearing it.I prefer trilogy rings.

But presumably you chose it and it does suit your hand.

AnotherNam · 26/12/2025 19:30

I really don’t like, I think it looks bland and uninteresting, BUT it’s not my ring so my opinion doesn’t matter. Why do ask this question, do you not like it yourself?

minuette1 · 26/12/2025 19:31

It's nice but very mainstream and nondescript, but if you like it that's all that matters, we all have different tastes!

December2025 · 26/12/2025 19:32

It's beautiful.
Man there are some rude people on here.

Gabitule · 26/12/2025 19:32

It’s exactly my style so yes, I like it very much

harriethoyle · 26/12/2025 19:33

No. There are people taking @EeByGumMum question at face value and answering it honestly. That’s not rude.

The question is do you like my ring .
would you prefer people to just lie . If so what’s the point of the thread .

Alpacajigsaw · 26/12/2025 19:36

Yes it’s nice enough. I can see why it might not be what some people would pick but I can’t imagine anyone looking at it and thinking it’s horrible

Congratulations x
