Too small for me but if you like it that's all that matters.

pinkypoo8 · 26/12/2025 21:57

Rude? She asked for an opinion so people are giving theirs or would you prefer everyone to agree on a style of ring they don't really like, unbelievable

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.

Omg what a ridiculous post

how fragile you are - to leave UK 😂😂

people are the same wherever you go!

OP was wanting to share her good fortune nothing wrong with that

Maybe something that's gonna tell people that you've just got engaged...

I ❤it OP! It's the same as mine 😁I've had mine for nearly 10 years. We got engaged in NY and stopped at jewellers on our way home from the airport. Same as you I picked the smaller, less expensive diamond as I preferred it. I still love it. I have never taken it off. I remember an Aunt of DPs saying "you can always upgrade it and get something bigger in a few years" - I was so annoyed. I did bite back and said "Why would I do that? I picked this one because I love it."

Congratulations!! 💍

Yourlifeinyourhands · 26/12/2025 21:59

YOU chose it so you must like it. Personally I don’t but it isn’t on my hand!

billiongulls · 26/12/2025 22:01

Congratulations, enjoy

Charlize43 · 26/12/2025 22:01

Maybe something a little more noticeable and that's gonna tell people that you've just got engaged...

It's very chic, OP! I had a solitaire too, and while I think they can look a little lonesome on their own, the chicness really comes into its own when paired with a wedding band.

Congratulations on your engagement! Wishing you a long and healthy, happy life together! 💐💐💐

I love it it's like mine

I read that as:

"I love it like it's mine."

And good luck to whoever marries your son.

OP the ring is very pretty. Congratulations and best of luck to you both.

I think it's beautiful. Congratulations!

It’s a bit disappointing isn’t it? But if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters, which I assume you are since you chose it

Disappointing? I don’t see how. Just right for you, OP and it looks good on your finger. I personally prefer smaller settings and I think it’s lovely.

Jungleballsjungleballs · 26/12/2025 22:10

Whether I love it or loathe it - what does it matter?? I Am a randomer on the internet….

only thing that matters is that you like it - it’s your ring on your finger

only opinion that counts is yours !

trust yourself !!!

Thatsanotherfinemess1 · 26/12/2025 22:14

I think it's lovely and really suits your delicate finger!

gottalovemushrooms · 26/12/2025 22:15

Don’t be a bitch. OP obviously isn’t disappointed and neither should she be. Did you really have to say that?

OkWinifred · 26/12/2025 22:27

It’s beautiful and classic.
Congratulations!

Then it is odd for an op to start a op if you only want people to give one type of answer
