I loved my ring.. i chose it. It's a bit over a carat in the centre and has diamondes hugging it equaling to 2 carats. I loved that it was classic, but different. Anyway I feel like my ring isn't as lovely as I once thought it was.. I regret not chosing a solitaire simply bc of the " oh I thought it was a solitaire" comment. One girl actually said " I prefer a solitaire " I feel like everyone who sees it thinks it's cheap or something. I don't have the heart to tell my FI.. But I'm feeling ring remorse... Thoughts??? It's hard to tell.. But I guess that's just it.
Wow, I can't see anything but one diamond. Regardless it's beautiful and a great size on your finger. Maybe you can post another picture that shows what part of the ring you are unhappy with as it really looks like a solitaire on this end.
Well it looks like a solitaire to me. I think it's quite lovely! Screw the other people and their comments.
How rude of them! Solitaires are lovely but so is your ring. How boring would the world be if we all had the exact same thing? If they had nothing nice to say, I don't know why thy opened their mouths.
If it wasn't just their rude comments getting you down but after a while you still wish your ring looked different you can always change your band design at any point. The jeweler can recast the same metal and re-set the same stones, if you like, just in a different style. You could use the outer stones as sidestones down the sides of the band for more of a solitare-esque vibe. Or go "full solitare" with your center stone and put the outer ones in your wedding band... or so many other options.
I once got the comment "Wow.... It's tiny!". Don't stress it. It doesn't matter what other people think, so long as you love it!
If you love it who cares? what matters is what you like.
Girl that ring is gorgeous!!! I am in love!!! Screw what other people say that ring is yours and looks perfect!!!
Is it a cluster? Clusters are beautiful. Your ring is gorgeous, ignore the girl!
@MrsJenBee: ditto, I really like simple cluster rings. They have a very vintage vibe to them!
I would not worry what others say, OP. We all have our preferences. Sometimes people have no tact but I do not think they mean it personally (and if they do they kind of suck!).
Enjoy your ring, I think it looks great on your hand!
I love your ring and totally commend you for not slapping the other girls for being so rude about it. I have to admit that I, too, thought it was a solitaire, but I say that in a "what a neat surprise!" kind of way. Your ring is beautiful, and you're right - it's really special and unique. Embrace it!
Thanks lady's I was head over heels in love with it. Other peoples comments def get to me after time. Here's two more pics.. They're hRey, I have no idea how to resize on my iPad?
I have ring regret all the time. Much like your ring, my ring is a cluster/halo, and I would have preferred one larger centre stone. This is what my DH went with because of the $ factor, however, so I rock it. I'm learning to love it.
I wish I could say money was an issue for it but it was simply what I chose. i hate that people just assume its cheap. #sadbride
It's a gorgeous ring! People are just *dim* sometimes! It wouldn't matter what's on your finger..."it should be....a solitaire, if it's a solitaire it should be a halo, if it's a halo, it should be a cluster, or moissy, or a a a a a a a" it goes ON forever!!! Then there's the metal it "should be" set in! UGH!
I'm venting by proxy your post...I've had my ring for like 2 weeks and have gotten a LOT of the same kind of business. WHY?!!!
You have a gorgeous and meaningful ring. Your initial feelings are always the most genuine. Don't let dimwits rain on your parade! congratulations!!!
Ps. LOVING the orange mani in the first pic ;)
@blushingbride1013: your center stone is more than a carat. If you ever decide to change your setting to a solitare or solitare-esque (not saying you should), your center stone will still be very large and will certainly not seem inexpensive. I don't think you should change your setting based on those girls' rude comments though. You love it. It isn't cheap. It was probably their envy talking.
Oh geez, now that I see another pic I like it even more! Kinda wishing I had went a more interesting route with my ring.
I know where youre coming from and you should stop it. Everyone seems to want to keep up with what the next girl has and that's an unending stressful way to think. Your ring is beautiful!
It's a beautiful ring. I love it! Don't let other people dull your love of your ring. Not everybody will love your ring like you do. Everyone has different tastes. But the only tastes that matter in this case are yours (and your FI's a little.) Put those people's comments out of your mind and then look at your ring. As long as you can look at it and say that you love it when you aren't thinking about anyone else's opinions, you have no need for regret.
Excuse my language but they can F OFF. Your ring is absolutely gorgeous!!! I LOVE it and actually wanted a ring like yours myself. Don't listen to any bitch who says something like that. It is beautiful and it doesn't look cheap to me at all!
I also got a halo that was also very close. I wanted a diamond, of good quality and to appear larger on my finger. It may not be a 1 or 2 carat center stone, but it's gorgeous, I love it and my fiance loves it!
@brittanybed: holy moly! cluster rings aren't usually my taste but yours is STUNNING! I love how it looks like a flower and the halo is distinguished around the diamond. BEAUTIFUL!
@blushingbride1013: forget what others say! its your ring and if you love it thats all that matters. IF you don't love it now that you have it on your hand maybe you could bring it up with your FI. You were the one that chose it and I'm sure all he wants is to make you happy.
I think ALL of you girls have gorgeous rings and anyone who has the nerve to say it's cheap, ugly, or whatever is just a rude b*#%!. If something isn't their taste they should just keep it to themselves. I have a princess cut quad for my center w/a halo and I love it even though it's not one big fat stone in the middle. If someone had the nerve to say something snarky about it, I would certainly say something right back :)
Those rings are beautiful. I say ignore the girl she most obviously is jealous.
@blushingbride1013: I think that we are ring twins! I know exactly what you are going through, it was so hard to decide between a solitaire or the rinag that we picked. I really had my heart set on a solitaire at first but in the end I went with the cluster style. Now that I have been wearing it for 6 months I am totally in love with it and know that I made the right choice. It sparkles like none other and has a beautiful classic/vintage vibe while also being more unique than a plain solitaire. I am sorry that you heard such rude comments! People can be so thoughtless and many who are negative are usually just jealous.
How rude! I can't believe people think it's ok to criticize your ring. I'm sorry you have regret but it's beautiful ring.
Wow OP! that is beautiful! I've heard that those sparkle more than diamond solitaires. is it super sparkly?
Every style isn't for everyone! There are conversations here all the time about people hating clusters, halos, big solitaires, small solitaires, heart shapes, pear shapes, princess cuts. Whatever. I always HATE when people say " it only matters what you like". No one wants to me told what they have is inadequate. Please don't let someone else's rude comments steal your joy. Life is too short. Change your ring if you want, but not because some hateful B! is rude!!
@blushingbride1013: i think you should love what the ring means and not what people think.
its a beautiful ring and im sure he paid a pretty penny for it.
if i were in your shoes i would not dare say a thing about ring regret for a ring that you picked yourself. he might take it as you being ungrateful.
good luck and i really hope you fall in love with your ring again and not allow peoples opinion affect you.
I think it's beautiful!!
As other bees said, "who cares what others say???!!
You NEVER say eeew...it's not a solitaire!!! How tiny! or any of those comments!! What do they know?? So what if that's all your fiancee could afford, or if that's what you like??? PEOPLE!!! Grrrrrr......so rude!!!
If you end up not liking it...as some of us change our minds about these rings (me included) try to find a good jeweler in your town...they always have great ideas.
You can have your ring re-done for your anniversary, or something like that...just hint your man and he'll understand...my husband is totally supportive of my "indeciseveness" but I try very hard to not stress him out that I want my ring "melted and redesigned" but he does like to make me happy, and I love that about him. I'm very lucky, I know.
We've been married for a very long time.
My first ring was set in a six-prong classic plain ring. Then, when we got married, a jewelery store sales person convinced me to buy a setting with channel-set diamonds, and an eternity band to go with it...well, almost 10 years later, I mentioned it to my jeweler, and he asked me to bring in a picture of what I like...I did and he used the gold and the 12 diamonds from my engagement ring to make my new ones...and I LOVE IT!!!
Good luck, and don't give any time to negative people. You do what you think it's best for you (and your love, of course!!)
:O)
Don't listen to these rude people! I mean I can see maybe the comment about thinking it was a solitaire at first, because I think that is maybe the intent of the style? But as for thinking it's cheap, I'm pretty sure that a one carat center stone with another carat of diamonds around it is not cheap, regardless of the arrangement!
I cant believe someone would say that!! your ring is gorge!!!!
i think your ring (and everyone else's) is beautiful! shame on those comments. people can be so damn rude, ugh. i'm sorry. don't have any remorse of your ring. it's really stunning!!! it's a modern take on a classic solitaire and i think that's awesome.
I love yours way more than a simple solitare. I think they are classic, but pretty boring - everybody has one! Rock your unique rock!
