Not very nice comments on non-diamond engagement rings?

I’m just wondering if anyone else out there with a non-diamond ring has gotten bashed by family members (or friends)? Or maybe my relatives are just nasty. The most rude comment was “couldn’t he afford a diamond?”. Others have been “are you sure you really didn’t want a diamond”.
I have a BEAUTIFUL aquamarine center stone. It is gorgeous! It is just what I wanted. I love it! And I remind my fiance all the time how much I love it and how thrilled I am with it (I’m also a little afraid he might hear some of these comments and second-guess his choice).
Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
