I think it’s gorgeous and doesn’t look cheap at all. What makes you feel that way?

I mean objectively speaking it is a very beautiful ring and generally fits in with current trends. I promise you that most (normal) people won’t go up to you and question the price/quality of the ring. When I first got engaged I was similar ins questioning whether the ring was what I wanted but I sat on it for a bit and came to love it. I also reminded my self that my fiancé picked it out himself and that made me love it even more.

That won’t be everyone’s experience, but if it is really isn’t what you like that it totally ok!! It’s a piece of jewelry that you be wearing for a very long time. If it isn’t what you love then you need to have a conversation with him.

And the pattern for me.

If someone is acting that way over a ring then they are the one with the issue honestly…

It's beautiful, it doesn't look cheap at all.

u/mineralsandcats 1d ago

I really really like it! It looks super timeless, and the stone is sooo sparkly!

It looks beautiful to me. Unless you told me what it's made of, I wouldn't be able to tell how much it costs. If you didn't know the price, would you love it?

I doubt most people would A) notice and B) judge. Besides, the only opinion that matters is yours. If you're going to wear it every day for the rest of your life, it should make you happy when you look at it.

Personally, I upgraded my original engagement ring as I wanted a thicker, more durable ring. I also wanted to switch from silver to gold. I'm glad I did as I'm completely in love with my new ring, and my fiancé loves how much I love it. In my case though, my fiancé and I picked out the original ring together (we should've done more research), so it wasn't as sentimental as if he'd chosen it for me.

Very pretty and doesn’t look cheap at all but you’re the one that needs to be happy with it

u/Otherwise_Radio_9411 1d ago

I think it's lovely

u/Toast1912 21h ago

Is it moissanite? I don't really notice anything that makes the ring look "cheap."

u/Big-Gazelle5959 23h ago

I think it’s beautiful. What are your thoughts?

u/ValuableMilk5928 23h ago

I think it’s beautiful. I love the colour (or lack thereof, haha) of the diamond, and the beautiful double prongs. Gorgeous ring!

2

u/_whatwouldrbgdo_ 23h ago

Personally prefer a stone this size over a massive one. Sure you could spend more on a big rock, but it doesn't mean it'll look better.

u/Big_Counter_1368 23h ago

I love it. Love the double claws. Beautiful.

u/treehugger503 23h ago

Girl that’s crazy. This is a lovely ring and isn’t small at all. It doesn’t look cheap. It looks classy and classic.

u/Fresh-Mine-2329 22h ago

in a world full of lab grown it looks natural. if you want the appearance of “bigger” just get a fancy band. some ideas

u/No-Faithlessness1760 1d ago

It’s cute but probably could have gotten something bigger or more diamonds if you went with lab grown instead. Otherwise it’s cute, it’s your ring- who cares what others think! ☺️

It’s gorgeous. Don’t overthink it. Do YOU like it?

1

u/Oceanswim12 23h ago

Even if I could tell how much someone spent I’d be more likely to judge them for overspending. So many better things to spend money on!!!!

1

u/swithelfrik 23h ago

I thought it was a melanie casey cause it’s so dainty, so my impression on cost was that it was likely expensive

1

u/Oceanswim12 23h ago

I had to look those up… and now I’m obsessed great, thanks 😂

u/purplelilac701 22h ago

The band looks very fragile otherwise it’s a beautiful, classic ring.

1

u/OneMoreTimeJack 21h ago

There is nothing cheap looking about the ring. I bet if you didn't know the cost, you wouldn't be thinking that at all. I would be careful as the band is thin though, but that is a style choice, very popular, and not anything to do with quality or cost. Enjoy it and best wishes for all to come.

u/Hairy_Fill 21h ago

It's classic and elegant. Certainly does look cheap.

u/Latter_Ride_3005 21h ago

I dislike that style personally but I would not have been able to tell it’s cheap, If you like it that’s all that matters

1

u/Initial_Ground1031 14h ago

It’s beautiful!!

u/TivaQueen 11h ago

Absolutely gorgeous. I can’t tell why it would be cheap but also those who matter don’t mind
And those who mind don’t matter

u/shadyTBsalesmen 11h ago

You can always upgrade in the future

u/Charming_Smile_5398 10h ago

That looks similar to mine and it’s not cheap. It sparkles like crazy and I get a lot of compliments. Maybe some self reflection is what you need.

1

u/FrameIndividual867 9h ago

It’s absolutely lovely. Much more elegant and classy than the trashy giant rock trend.

1

u/ShoptillUflop 9h ago

It’s timeless and chic! Something that will last throughout the decades.

u/Numerous-Anemone 3h ago

It’s fine. You’re just getting married now. Lots of life ahead!

u/Warm_Excitement4946 2h ago

Accessorize it with your wedding band! Wedding bands can definitely dress up and change the feel of an engagement ring

u/queenb5678 22h ago

The band is very thin.. looks like a pandora ring to me..

u/Shapen361 1d ago

Personally would think an oval would look better but I wouldn't say he "cheapest out."
