Rude comments on your e-ring... because its too BIG??

[itsonly4me]

Ok so I do not have a huge ring compared to alot of the ladies here(2.21ct)... but I guess its bigger than alot of people around here....?

Anyway, so it was one of my fiances cousins baptisms today and the first time we have seen alot of our family members since we got engaged about 2 weeks ago. So of course everyone is asking to see and saying nice things(being polite) and saying congrats. Then one of the wives of a family member came over and said 'Ohhh its beautiful... too big though.. I am just fine with my small stone..." LOL What the heck is that?? Who says that? Keep in mind this is the same woman who when I first met her, was wearing her fake LV bag claiming it was real when it was a bad fake(I was also carrying LV and of course did not point out that hers was fake). I was so stunned by what she said I didnt even respond but it just seemed so RUDE!! Just had to vent because everyone had nothing but nice things to say and then she had to spoil it(or atleast try). I told my DF because of course he didnt hear her say that, and he said she was probably just jealous... but still!

So I guess my question is.. has anyone said anything rude about your ering??? What happened to the saying : if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all?!

I am frequently astonished at how rude people can be. Chalk it up to poor manners and enjoy your lovely ring : )

She's just trying to make herself feel better, I mean, why would anyone ever say anything remotely negative about someone's e-ring?!
You wouldn't say "it's too little" or "it's too yellow" . . .

Thanks leem and swanky... yes its pretty clear that this lady has no manners whatsoever, and I guess I already knew that.. just wasnt expecting that comment!

Swanky -yes hopefully nobody would say either of those but apparently... nothing is off limits for some people!

Its pretty clear she is uncomfortable with her ring to say something like that. Sad. Don't dwell on it, enjoy your ring. Congrats.

I agree she is probably jealous of your ring, otherwise she would not have made the comment of being happy with her smaller ring. I get comments on my ring, but not rude like that. I have a co-worker who talks about my ring frequently and likes to look at it, and another who always wants to try on my jewelry, but more in an "appreciative of pretty jewelry" way.

it's like reverse discrimination. People can't say you're too fat, but yet they make comments if you're too thin . . . it's ALL gross.

i wouldnt let it bother you.

lots of jealous people.. who try to make themselves feel better by cutting you down.

Actually, I think you should post a picture of your gorgeous ring so we can all decide for ourselves whether it is too big! LOL!
