Woman Humiliates Her Fiancé After Finding Out How Much Her Ring Cost

Before popping the big question, a man first needs to ask himself how much is he willing to spend on the engagement and wedding rings. And while some think proposals shouldn’t be about the expensive jewelry, others claim the wedding ring cost should amount to between one and three-months salary. Recently, one woman who probably agrees with the latter has decided to humiliate her fiancé online after he disappointed her with a too small of a diamond and wedding ring price.

In an anonymous post on MumsNet, she ranted about the $1,674 cheap wedding ring as if it was a plastic toy. However, the majority of MumsNet readers condemned the woman for her materialism, saying the guy that chose to spend the rest of his life with her should seriously rethink his options after this humiliating story. Scroll down to check out her message and tell us your thoughts in the comments. (Cover image: Courtney Barrett / Hawaii Jewelry)

OK. I think that it's reasonable (DONT GET TRIGGERED WAIT) for her to like how the ring LOOKS. She is going to be wearing it for the rest of her life and it IS reasonable to want to get it together, for that reason. BUT THE PRICE DOESN'T F*****G MATTER.

Exactly. Why are people acting like someone isn’t allowed to like their engagement ring? I agree that the price shouldn’t matter. But people condemning her for not liking how it looks are ridiculous. Maybe he should have asked one of her friends to go with him to pick it out or something. She’s going to wear a ring she hates for their entire marriage? Very shortsighted for people not to see this as an issue. However, this is something you talk to your close friend about in private. Not post it online smh

The cost does seem like a petty thing to be such a d**k about. That being said, I'm surprised he didn't get more ring for the money he spent. My ex-ring was about that size, and it was less than $200.

Wanting something *nice* is logical, wanting something *expensive* is not.

I totally agree. Going on and on about the price? Tacky. Personally, I wouldn't want a diamond anyway. The price is artificially inflated to the point of being ridiculous. There are plenty of alternatives out there that cost way less, and are either almost as pretty, or even prettier than a diamond. Diamonds are forever? Pfft. Diamonds are overrated.

She didn't like it, because the stone was small, she says that's the first thing that popped into her mind. I'm sure all the rest is just her trying to find more excuses not to like it.

Ummm, it's the wedding ring you wear for the rest of your life, not necessarily engagement one. And I think people are a bit annoyed at the fact she didn't like that he spend so 'little' on it not the fact she might not like it- that' her personal taste but than again the diamond wasn't big enough so screw that.

It's an engagement ring, she's not going to wear it forever, only till she gets married (or the engagement is broken.)

Look at it this way, 2 boys came to you with a ring, Boy A gave you a $1000 ring but he only have $1500 in his account, Boy B gave you a $10.000 but he has $1.000.000 in his account, tell me who gave the biggest ? "Wearing it for the rest of her life" is not certain, that guy could buy his wife a much more expensive one if he got the money later in life.

I knit my engagement ring: $1 worth of yarn and a $2 plastic diamond bead. My wife would have turned me down if I wasted $1,000+ on a ring. We're both frugal, and 5 years into the marriage our house is paid off. T2i_IMG_00...a08d59.jpg

Congrats. You should be proud for spending money on something as important as a house. But a yarn ring won't hold up. With no house payment, you can now afford a traditional ring. It doesn't have to be expensive. It would make a great anniversary gift.

My engagement ring was a piece of costume jewelry my mom had laying around. My husband (17 years last month) took me to pick one out, but even having $100-200 on my finger freaked me out. My wedding band cost $10 at Walmart. So did my husband's, but his cracked and he couldn't wear it anymore, so I got him a replacement that cost about $75 for our 15th anniversary.

Amen to this. The fact that you put so much thought and effort into that ring is worth more than any diamond...at least I think so.

I like the home made ring you made. It looks quite elegant. Plus, you didn't have to spend a ridiculous fortune.

Way to go. I would have punched my hubby if he would’ve paid more than $200 for my wedding ring... plus I’d rather not take a chance on getting a “blood diamond”, I’d rather have a brilliant Tanzanite stone in my band.
