Honest Opinion: Does the Ring Look Horrible?

Iām excited to share my engagement ring with you all today. This is such a supportive community, and I canāt wait to hear your thoughts! But before we dive in, I have to be honest: Iām feeling a bit uncertain about my ring. So here goes nothing!
Drumroll, please… š„

So, this beauty is a [describe your ring: e.g., a round cut diamond set in a vintage-inspired halo, with a rose gold band]. I was instantly drawn to its [mention specific features like sparkle, design, etc.], and it felt perfect when my fiancĆ© proposed. But now that the adrenaline has worn off, I find myself wondering if itās really me.
Why the Doubts?
I think itās normal to have mixed feelings about such a big purchase. After all, engagement rings are not just pieces of jewelry; they represent promises and love. But itās easy to get lost in the social media feeds filled with breathtaking rings and flawless settings.
Am I just caught up in comparison? Is there a fine line between āuniqueā and āwhat was I thinking?ā š¤

- Does the ring look horrendous, or is it just my nerves talking?

And while weāre at it, feel free to share your own rings or those youāve seen that you love (or didn’t quite love).

Looks great. Get it insured!
I think itās really pretty however it does look like it sits too high in my opinion
That is quite literally stunning. But I do worry about the center stone staying tight.
The general design is lovely, pave settings are hit or miss for me and I like this. However that basket setting is a big red flag. The big gap between the centre stone / diamond and where the metal strands meet the shank should not be there. It will not stay tight and will be prone to damage.
This is gorgeous but I love a chubby emerald. I would add a gallery rail though.
Needs a gallery rail to hold that stone in. Otherwise is very pretty!
It looks horribly unsafe
It looks nicely made but I think the stone could be lowered a bit to make it not as high profile. Also a gallery rail would really be best for the longevity of the ring.
You need a rail gallery! Those 4 prongs make me nervous.
No, itās beautiful
Horrible? I canāt tell if youāre being facetious.
Iām no expert. But I believe it needs a gallery rail. The stone isnāt very secure. Pretty though
Itās gorgeous but itās giving me anxiety because it looks like is gonna fall.
It looks prone to damage in a couple of ways but visually I think it’s beautiful
I think it is beautiful! My only issue would be that it is really tall and I would hit it on everything, so *I* wouldnāt like this. But thatās just me, because I am slightly clumsy and my spatial awareness sucks. I guess it depends on the person who will be wearing it uses their hands daily.
I don’t think it’s horrible, but I will say if you have so much of your center stone exposed away from the setting, you will notice the stone itself getting dirtier more often. Not a big deal if you don’t mind cleaning your ring often, but just an FYI š
Too high set but itās pretty
Absolutely gorgeous and study looking
Quite the contrary actually. It is gorgeous.
No I think thatās a beautiful classic type of ring
I think it’s beautiful. And in my amateur opinion the main stone may need more support
it looks lovely but that diamond is definitely not secure
It looks gorgeous but definitely need a guard rail/hidden halo. Seems like you don’t like how square it is? What is the ratio of the stone? Usually if you want more elongated emerald cut then 1.45 ratio is the best (L/W) for elongated.
It’s very top-heavy.
Itās beautiful! My only concern is it sits a little high for my liking- but itās gorgeous
No. Why? Itās beautiful Iāll take it if you donāt want it
The only thing it needs is a guard rail. Otherwise it is a gorgeous ring. Idk what made you think it looked horrible.
Horrible, no. Incredibly susceptible to the stone being dislodged without a gallery rail? Yes.
What? Absolutely not. That’s gorgeous!
I think it looks absolutely gorgeous
I think itās absolutely beautiful. Literally Stunning
That center stone will not stay tight in that setting unfortunately
My MIL has diamonds going all the way around like that. She said while she loves her ring she wishes she had chosen a band with diamonds only half way down because they rub against her skin.
Other than that I find it to be a beautiful ring.
What are you thinking looks horrible?
I think it’s very pretty, what don’t you like about it?
