You said “you can barely see it”, which patently isn’t true.

Again

please stop
policing my opinion

Bigcat25 · 26/12/2025 20:07

I like it! Very timeless, good taste. Can easily wear any type of band.

MsGinaLinetti · 26/12/2025 20:08

It's pretty
congratulations

I like it, tasteful and timeless.

Gazelda · 26/12/2025 20:18

I think it’s beautiful and suits your hand perfectly.

a timeless and elegant style.

i also think there are some unpleasant posts on this thread. OP asked if we like it. There was absolutely no need to imply that OP’s ring is disappointing, too small to be visible, boring etc. a simple “not to my taste” would have been a classier response.

its such a shame how many MNers seem to enjoy belittling others or grabbing every opportunity to make a snide remark.

bitterexwife · 26/12/2025 20:20

Beautiful.

HansHolbein · 26/12/2025 20:21

No I don’t. I find it boring and I don’t like white gold/platinum. You did ask.

SabrinaCarpetCleaner · 26/12/2025 20:21

It's much too dainty for my taste (in a purely aesthetic sense, not a reflection on cost).

It's your ring, if you love it that's all that matters. Congratulations 😊

Stucknstoopit · 26/12/2025 20:24

What a weird post, it’s pretty and classic, what’s the issue?

I don’t understand why you’d post this.

Nobody can really say no without sounding like a bitch, so you’ll only get people responding who actually do like it. Why do you need that kind of false approval from strangers on the internet?

I do not get it either.
I'm not sure what the the OP wants MN to say. It's not a big ring but unless the OP just got engaged to a multi millionaire,what is the point of spending thousand of pounds on a ring. Surely,it's what the ring represents that matters and not how big is it?

Who pissed on your chips?? What a horrible response.

It’s a beautiful, classic ring and suits you brilliantly. But why are you asking here, are you unsure?

Futurept · 26/12/2025 20:27

Yes, it's so pretty! More importantly, do YOU like it?

ForgottenPasswordNewAccount · 26/12/2025 20:28

Not my style but I am not the one wearing it

SweeetFannyAdams · 26/12/2025 20:29

It's beautiful OP.

But it's a weird thread to post and run.

ForUmberFinch · 26/12/2025 20:30

YourZippyHare · 26/12/2025 18:36

Honestly, it's not my style... but the main thing is:

Are YOU happy with it?

This. I’d have been gutted if my hubby had given me a ring like that. But it’s not my style. I take it you don’t like it if you are asking?

TricNorthCarolina · 26/12/2025 20:31

Its not something I would wear, but we're a lldifferent. As long as you love it thats all that matters

Welcome to the internet.

It's clearly your first day here, so I'd suggest that you take your usual world view of people saying nice things to somebody who has just got engaged, is happy to be engaged and wants to show people her lovely, meaningful ring - and chuck it in the bin.

SouthernNights59 · 26/12/2025 20:33

It's beautiful and similar to mine (although yours looks better on as I have short, fat, fingers!)

Hardly. It’s a mealy looking ring. If the OP had said, we can’t afford more than this, I’d have been magnanimous. With no back story, I’m sticking with poxy. 😂

She asked. She can't expect everyone to simply say yes. There's no point in asking anyway. No one else will be wearing it.

Eggcheese · 26/12/2025 20:35

Congratulations 🥳 It’s a gorgeous ring but most importantly I hope you love it as well. Xx💐

Luckyingame · 26/12/2025 20:38

hattie43 · 26/12/2025 18:48

Very pretty but I’d like a bigger diamond .

This 😊

somanychristmaslights · 26/12/2025 20:38

Do YOU like it? That’s all that matters. Congratulations!!

Saying “poxy” is just being intentionally nasty
