do you ladies ever feel self conscious when people grab your hand or ask to see your e-ring? I'm very understated and really dislike the attention I sometimes get because of my ring. I don't know how to act when someone grabs my hand or gushes about my ring...was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

I understand how you feel. About a month ago my fiancé and I went shopping in Van Cleef and Arpels ( i won't say which one) My regular SA was on vacation so another lady helped us. The entire time, while helping us, she was focused on my ring. At the end as she was handing me my bag she grabbed my hand and began to marvel over my ring. I was quite uncomfortable but i kept my composure. Needless to say, I will not be shopping there while my SA is on vacation
This actually happen to me 2x this week ! I am ok with the complement but I feel weird about it at the same time . I am glad that my ring catches people's eye and that my hubby had good taste .
I dont have ring yet but when I do I WANT people to do that to me LOL.
However, I'm that person who gushes over other peoples rings. I want others to stare and ask to see my ring.
I remember an aunt...she was on a bus and someone gushed on her watch saying its pretty and everything..when she came down from the bus her watch is gone...just be careful..some use this as a ploy to steal.
I don't mind if someone grabs my hand and comments on my rings.. At the end of the day it is your rings and as long as you love them it really doesn't matter. But it is nice when someone gushes over them.
My coworker once saw a ring of mine. Its a diamond ring my DH bought for me for our 5 year anniversary because I never had an Engagement ring.she grab my hand and told me that I never mentioned to her that I have a new ring. Its like it is something I should announce to everybody right? Lol
You dont wear your ering because of this yet you dont mind if they do? Which is which? Because if you dont mind then you will have no problem wearing your ering right? Your response is confusing. Its like saying something and doing another...
It means that she'd rather be understated at work (don't want to call attention to high-end jewelry in a professional setting due to co-workers views, gossip, salaries, raises, perception, etc.) Compared to when she is socializing with friends or out in public, she appreciates the admiration of her piece. At lot of women in the other forums don't carry their Hermes bags to work, for example, but use them outside of work for a similar reason. Hence her answer.
That is all ! This is a awesomely explained ! It is like she read her mind ! Love it !
