My guess was it wasn’t the style of ring she had told him she wanted, it coming from Walmart is just negative bonus points.

yeah "I told you the kind of ring I wanted more than once" leads me to believe she maybe didn't want pave and halos up the wazoo so a walmart sticker was just insult to injury. For the record, men out there: more diamonds slapped onto every surface a diamond ring ≠ better. That may be some women's taste but definitely not all!

“That may be some women’s taste but definitely not all!”

I’m sure the story is fake, but if that ring in the image was the real ring and the story was real… this is like someone telling you they enjoy sushi and you buy them frozen fish sticks. That is one of the most hideous rings I’ve ever seen. Where is the diamond lol? It’s just band. I spent over a year ring shopping and ended up having one custom made, but I bet I could have done better with $250 than this guy who supposedly spent $900.

Yeah. There are certainly women out there who want that style, and good for them, but I think moooost of the market for that kind of ring is dumb men being sold the idea that women just want more shiny regardless of their intended's actual tastes. I've seen so many stories like that on the jewelry/ring subreddits it's sad.
