Beautiful ring! I would have looked at her, smiled sweetly and said, well good thing it is mine and that MY DF wanted me to have something this beautiful.
People who make rude remarks deserve to be put in their place

definitely jealously, I'm going through something similar with a friend over my upgrade, she thinks the center stone in too large and the fact I'm going with colored stones and yellow gold tacky, I told her that was fine when she married my dh she could pick what she wanted :p

Well it's beautiful. What a jealous and insecure jerkwad she is.

Mine isn't huge at all, nor was the one this replaced (original was stolen) but I have sure heard all sorts of comments in the one month I have had it.

My DH used to work with some real a-hole women who, once they started making "real" money, upgraded their erings because "they were too small." They would snigger at mine and ask when I was upgrading <insert major eyeroll here>.

So I know how you feel- people who can't say anything nice should just have a big cup of STFU.

(in answer to your question - I think it's called a back-handed compliment).

She is pathetic. Just jealous and still probably chafing that you had a real LV bag, and now this!! You acted very graciously on both occasions -- stay your sweet, gracious self and enjoy your ring. Best of luck.

Right, when did we all want the same ring? Everyone gets what he/she likes.. I am not sure why people think they are entitled to tell someone that they dont like it.. its not theirs.. they dont have to like it! :p

Hehe, at the moment she really caught me off guard... after she walked away I did think of several fun things I could have said... but I dont want to stoop to her level. Although I agree some people do deserve to get put in their place or they will keep on acting this way and thinking its OK!

I've just got my ring on Christmas and literally on cloud nine. Then my bf's friend asked me how much. I told the price. She asked me back...why did I have to get "a diamond" in the sense that why did people have to pay this much for this useless thing. Plus, she told me that she went to an engagement party yesterday and the girl there got 4-carat diamond ring.

I didn't say a word. I didn't ask for the diamond ring. My bf himself wanted to buy me one. I am super happy with what I have and no one can ever make me feel otherwise.

Gorgeous ring! Wear it and enjoy it!

I had a similar experience though it wasn't about the size of the rock. rather it was about how SMALL the rock was!

I'm very particular about design and did not want an engagement ring. I rarely wear rings and only wanted a wedding band.

I saw an amazing design, very unique and modern. DH paid a lot for two rings because of the workmanship. My ring had a tiny diamond.

My relatives complained loudly within earshot when they saw my ring. They were even more horrified that I paid more than what they perceived the ring was worth.

:lolots:

I ignored them!

Whaaaaaaaaaa, people can be really really rude. WE have talked about this before. You know your ring is perfect. PPL will always make some kind of comments. Maybe her marriage sucks, who knows. I have an aunt like this. I didnt wear my grandmothers jewelry on Christmas , because she would of said something really rude about me having it and not her and probally asked for it of off my body. Smile big and be happy girl.
