if you like it that’s all that matters. After all, it’s you that’s going to marry him not your friends or family.

Tell everyone else to buzz off and be happy for you…. YOUR GETTING MARRIED.

Wow-your family is extremely rude!
I would smile winningly at them and say “Its just what I wanted. By the way, we are having a very small wedding and I’m sorry but I will not be able to invite you.”
BTW-we are only doing inscribed bands. So its not unprecedented…

Who gives a flying rats ass, what the other people say.. IT IS YOUR RING.. If you like it, than it doesn’t really matter.. It really sounds gorgeous, I’m so happy for you… Good Luck..

I have had many people expect mine to be a diamond. This is odd to me since a lot of people know that I don’t like diamonds and prefer stones with color. No one has told me he was cheap. I’ve gotten nice compliments on it. Some college girls thought it wasn’t good enough because it wasn’t a diamond but I quickly shut them up by saying he picked what we both wanted. I wanted a ring that reminded me of the man I love and not a ring that reminded me of the high cost of clear, crystallized carbon and looked like the thousands of other boring diamonds that are floating around on hands out there. Each woman should get what she wants and I certainly got what I wanted!

i have a diamond, but i love colored stones!!!
aquamarine is so pretty!
dont worry about what everyone else says. maybe theyre jealous.
if you love it thats all that matters!!!!

i have not had this experience but i would tell all the people that give their opinion that it is not for them to like and as long as you like it nothing else matters. Personally, i would rather be different than traditional. Also i would not like to wear a diamond that might of cost someone their hand. (ever see the movie BLOOD DIAMOND?
you should value things for what they signify not how much they cost. enjoy your ring!

your engagement ring is about you and your fiance, not about the rest of the world. If this is what you want…then don’t worry about those crazy people who are so shallow that they having nothing more to worry about then your ring.

1. I would rather have a good quality aquamarine stone then a crappy quality diamond just so I can say I have a diamond.

2. The relatives are being nasty and RUDE!

3. Enjoy your ring & your engagement! CONGRATS!

it is none of there business, its on your finger and not there’s. tell them that is the perfect ring that you always dreamed of..
some people need material things, they think it makes them look better, well i can tell by your personality that you are better than them. they should be happy for you and accept the fact that you are happy and happy with your ring

I agree tat u shld tell all of them to f**** off. they r just jealous n insecure themselves. do feel sorry for them that they need a diamond to prove their men’s love for them.
My bf just gave me a 0.5carat diamond ring for our engagement. its beautiful and i absolutely love it. but i still have friends who say i’m a cheap gal to propose to. so i guess no matter what u’ve got, there’ll always be idiots out there (yes they can be your family mambers, sorry to say tat) who try to bring u down. only one person’s opinion is needed n tat person is u and u alone. since u love it, i guess tat shld shut them up.
congratulations on your engagement!

omg!!! welcome to my family.
anyone in our family that will and was engaged is expected to recieve a huge whoppin’ diamond. The ironic thing is that all of us (my cousins of marraigable age) prefer stones such as you have. The family is blunt and rude. But don’t let anyone tell you what is best for you. You will have to do many things in your life that people won’t like but remember that this is for you and your life not theirs. if you like the ring, then they should. don’t worry about your family. family is important but don’t sink in every word and opinion they say. good luck and your lucky to have such a nice ring. a diamond doesn’t mean better.

i don’t think it’s about the ring
if u love it then i think it doesn’t matter

p.s. maybe there jealous

The only thing that matters is that you love your ring. Even If you didn’t as long as you and your sweetheart are madly in love with each other that is more important than what people think about not having a diamond ring.. I had a fake ring and people always asked me if it was really real. I always told them it was none of their business and then they snickered. Sometimes it bothered me but then I realized that I had something that they would never have and that was my soul mate. 6 months later my fiance bought me the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen. He gave me a fake ring because he was saving up for a nicer ring which cost nine thousand dollars. After he gave it to me people saw it and were very jealous. Knowing how people tried to put me down, i didn’t care for them. I believe that having that one special person that loves you is more important than the material things that are provided in life. As long as you know that you will be OK. Hold your head up high and show your ring off to the world. Your ring sounds absolutely gorgeous. Good luck with the wedding.

It sounds like some of your relatives are overly materialistic. How sad for them.

Lucky you to have escaped that mindset. You and your finace both love your ring and that’s all that matters.

Phooey on those who can’t find something nice to say.

ignore them they are just jealous and trying to upset you and your fiance .as long as your happy with your ring that’s all that matters.

With me it’s just the opposite, Before we were married, we were trying to find the perfect rings. One day I was looking through an advertisement from a jewelry store and I seen the ring that made me catch my breath. It was a wide smooth gold band with a ruby (my birth stone) in the middle and tiny diamonds surrounding it. I fell in love! I cut the picture out and gave it to him. I told him that’s the one! Instead of getting it, he got me the traditional diamond wedding set. (that cost more than twice as much as the ruby one) He said he didn’t get me the other one because it was not a “wedding ring” and he wanted people to know we were married. I argued that any ring we got married with would be a wedding ring. I have never taken these rings off in 28 years because of what they represent. But I still wish I had never given in. It’s nobody else,s place to say anything about your ring. Wear it with pride!

YOUR ring, is exactly that…..your’s. It is nobody else’s place to comment on your ring - they should only be offering congratulations - as I am…. so Congratulations!

I often cringe at my girlfriends who get together and compare their diamonds….’Ohh, mine is a 1.5 carat E clour VVS1……bla bla bla’…….nobody knows, nobody notices, and basically, nobody cares. What they do see is the love shared between the couple - and no ring can bring that into the relationship…..so if you love your partner and it shows - then that will shine brighter than any diamond you can ever buy =)

Congrats again. I got engaged yesterday - and I feel on top of the world!!

I got engaged some time ago.. and initially I was waiting for diamonds.. but when my grandmother passed away, I started to wear her ring on my engagement finger..

it’s not a diamond.. it;s a sapphire… and I LOVE IT!
I wouldnt have it any other way…

tis a shame that your family have felt the need to be so rude to you… just ignore their comments….

I knew a girl who had a wooden engagement ring. She hated all the diamond-hype. I don’t know if anyone ever said anything mean about it, but I thought it was cool. Very fun girl. I wouldn’t be opposed to different stone for myself. I might even like it because it would be unique. You know, opals and sapphires and other stones used to be engagement rings until the diamond company made commercials and hype about diamonds being forever. Do some research, and tell your family how traditional you are:)

CZ it up!!! They sound rude and they probably wouldn’t know the difference between a diamond and a crystal. Who’s laughing now.

i’ve never seen that happen but it sounds really pretty.
diamonds are over rated anyway

I told my fiance that when he bought me an engagement ring, I would want opal (my birthstone) or amethyst (purple is my favorite color). I didn’t care for diamonds just because they’re so plain and ridiculously overpriced for being just a stone. His parents even agreed colored stones are better (I did look at blue diamonds, finding them really quite beautiful, but still overpriced).

I got a family heirloom diamond ring, which is just as great because of the sentimental meaning. But if he had actually bought me a ring, he knew my preference for colored stones.

That is rude, wow. If that’s what you wanted then who cares what they say. I used to be a jeweler and having a non diamond engagement ring is very European. I sold a lot of sapphires and a few aqua’s for engagement rings. Congratulations on your engagement.

that is very rude and i am glad that coming form such a family you seem to be a very unmaterialistic person. welldone for rising above them and continue to do so as you go on to marry the man you love and raise your own family right.

Didn’t have this happen myself, but I just wanted to lend my support to you!
I think it’s totally lovely that he chose something unusual and special to you!
Your friends and relatives are being terribly rude! Can’t believe people actually SAY something to you about the ring that is not nice… yikes!
