Jealous much.

Beautiful. Very classy.
congratulations!

It's very classy and elegant. I think the diamond is the perfect size.

Bloop1986 · 26/12/2025 21:16

Congratulations its beautiful! Happy wedding planning to you ❤️

PotatoPrometheus · 26/12/2025 21:17

You’d be a great hand model! 🙌

Greenpeanutsnail · 26/12/2025 21:18

It’s very shiny and sparkly. It is classic and timeless as well. Congratulations, OP.

Eggybreadwithnuts · 26/12/2025 21:20

Classic and elegant. I love it 💍

Kassalah · 26/12/2025 21:22

Congrats! I love your ring.

WonderingAboutThus · 26/12/2025 21:28

Gorgeous, congratulations!

MauvePlayer · 26/12/2025 21:29

The ring is very similar to my sisters and i always wanted one the same.
But i think the boat has sailed for me, i am on my second marriage and never got engaged.
Congratulations, i wish you health and happiness for your future.

I love it OP! It's almost identical to mine which I am still wearing 25 years later x

Thanks everyone 🥰 I love it and chose it myself, there was a choice between this which was £1,200 or one that was over £2k but the diamond was slightly bigger. DP did say I could choose whichever I wanted but I preferred this one. I’d always wanted a plain and simple one rather than anything unusual or very bling!

£1200?! So this is a humblebrag.

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.

No I totally get what you mean but my point still stands - what was the point of the post?

If you want to announce your engagement/show off your ring, just say that. If you ask a bunch of random strangers what they think of it, you’re going to get either dishonesty, people only replying if they have something nice to say, or people being unkind and/or rude. I just cannot see the point of the post, or where the OP would believe she’s going to benefit at all from posting it.

Grammarnut · 26/12/2025 21:33

Beautiful and in classic style. Lucky you.

IMustDoMoreExercise · 26/12/2025 21:34

Love it.

Literally no one in the whole world cares whether I like it. DO YOU LIKE IT?

The OP has literally said that she doesn't have many friends to show and just wanted to share it somewhere.

I'd guess so seeing as she chose it.

Snackpocket · 26/12/2025 21:37

It’s lovely, congratulations!

Laura95167 · 26/12/2025 21:39

Looks lovely on you! Very pretty and congratulations

Fimofriend · 26/12/2025 21:40

See posts like this is one of the reasons why we left Britain. I didn't want my son to end up with a woman who would make drama over her engagement ring 💍 instead of being happy that she was going to spend her life with a wonderful, handsome, intelligent man who is good at cooking.

I hope that you will have a nice wedding and that your husband and his family never finds out about you posting this.

frugalkitty · 26/12/2025 21:40

I like it OP, congratulations! It suits your hand and won't date. Enjoy the sparkle when it catches in the light x

Gremlins101 · 26/12/2025 21:41

DaisyChain505 · 26/12/2025 21:41

Nothing not to like. It’s classic and classy.

Vanessashanessajenkins2 · 26/12/2025 21:47

I really like it OP and it is the type of style that is classic and timeless. Plus, you can pair a glitzy wedding band or a plain one and both would look nice. Congratulations on your engagement! Enjoy the ring 😘
