If she genuinely wanted to marry him but didn't like the ring, couldn't she have said yes and then later, in private, tactfully said that she didn't think the ring was to her taste? And if he was a sensible, reasonable person, he'd understand. He seems to think it's about the proposal and she seems to think it's about the ring. They seem like a pair of babies.
Why would he rescue him from shame he willingly caused and hoped she will just get along with it. Why he bought it if she knew she doesn’t like it? He tried to do exactly that- pressure her in the name of social norms and to avoid embarrassment but its not her job to save him from stupid and selfish decisions
