Ok, i absolutely LOVE my e-ring, it is one of the past-present-future rings, and it has 6 tiny diamonds 3 on each side of the 3 larger ones. now the diamons on the middle are not HUGE, but they are no means tiny. my friend is going on and on about how her ring is going to cost 5000 because her diamond is going to be HUGE, i tried to explain to her that the size of the diamond does not matter to me, or the cost, i am not very materialistic, i am more sentimental, so the meaning behind the ring is a million times more important to me then the karat size or the price tag, but she continues to knock my e-ring it makes me feel kinda crapy and my FH even crappier because he thinks i dont like my e-ring.

What can i say to her that will make her stop saying things about my FH choice of ring or diamond size, and even more important, what do i say to FH to make him know i love what he gave me, and he could have given me a ring from the 25 cent machines!

meh, your friend is a materialistic *** - ignore her.

in all seriousness, people look at mine too like its too small eg "he waited 5 years to give you THAT?"

the way i look at it (and no judgement here - i actually hated my ring at first and had to make peace with its size myself) is that when i'm 80 my ring will still kick ass and i can wear sweats and everything with it! i think it looks odd when someone is at the grocery store all dressed in sweats and pigtails and then they've got this massive shiner on! (not that i would have kicked back a massive shiner )

i never have to worry about getting mugged and when i'm 80 i won't need a sling to keep my hand up

is your friend engaged?

Sounds like someone is trying to make herself feel better by putting you down....i had a story i told to a girl who was concerned about her ring.....basically..i had a friend who got engaged and ALL his fiancee did was talk about the problems with the ring...we are talking SERIOUS drama....ALL about the ring...they were suppose to get married last weekend...want to know what happened...they didnt even make it to the alter..they split up before the wedding even happened....this guy also went on and on about how he thought fh got ripped off for paying so much for my tiny diamond and i could have gotten so much more and he just didnt understand i wanted a quality stone....sooo....honestly....people who have enough time to complain about your ring are only doing so because they need to focus on something because their relationship isnt strong enough to last......let your friend yak all she wants....smile and nod and be happy that the ring itself may be a little smaller....but the love behind it is bigger than any ring any person could buy........

NO my friend isnt engaged!!! she has picked out her ring and TOLD her BF to get it for her. She looks at our friendship as more of a competition then a friendship i think tho. like my FH and i, and her and her bf  started dating on the same day in grade 9, and since then she has been making coments on how her and her bf reach milestones before shawn and i do. then shawn proposed, and it was that weekend they decided they were "engaged" (w/o a ring) and set a date for literally 1 year after mine. now the competition is with the ring size.

its funny tho, because we had them over for a game night, and she thought she beat us by 1 point in taboo and she had like a victory dance! too funny ( in reality we tied).

Her BF is worried b/c he knows the min we start TTC she will want to , and he doesnt want kids right away!

i just dont know how to deal with her

Your "friend" is a b itch.  Plain and simple.  Tell her your ring is a perfect representation of the strong, loving relationship you and your FH share, and you don't need a $5,000 stone to compensate for what's missing in her relationship.

That should shut her up.  If not, send her my way, and my small diamond will leave some nice little scratches on her ugly face when I slap her silly for being so shallow and inconsiderate.

Live. Love. Laugh.

your friend is an idiot! I can't believe someone would say that! Can you ask her to stop critizing your ring? Tell her that you love it and its exactly what you want.

NO my friend isnt engaged!!!

EXACTLY.

so next time she says something you say "wow $5000? can i see? oh wait, that's right - you're NOT engaged."

i hate her already. please tell me she's ugly.

and what if this BF of hers proposes with another ring? will she turn him down? if i were him i would totally propose with something else - *** her!
