“My Friend Said the Set is Awful—Let’s Discuss!”
Engagement rings are more than just beautiful pieces of jewelry; they carry with them love stories, personal significance, and, let’s be honest, a lot of opinions! Recently, I shared a stunning engagement ring set with my friend, and their comment—“the set is awful”—really got me thinking. Is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder, or do certain styles and preferences dominate the conversation?
Showcasing My Ring🥰
Here’s my engagement ring set that I absolutely adore! The center stone is a brilliant round diamond, flanked by delicate side stones on a vintage-inspired band. To me, it signifies timeless elegance and our shared love for classic beauty. I chose this set because it reflects both my partner’s personality and mine—formal yet whimsical.

What Makes a Set “Awful”? 🤔
My friend’s harsh viewpoint made me reflect on what can lead to such divergent opinions. Is it the shape of the diamond? The choice of metal? Or perhaps the overall aesthetic? For instance, a solitaire ring may seem plain to one, while another might see it as chic and minimalistic.
Invitation for Discussion 🗨️
I’d love to hear from all of you! Here are a few questions to ignite the conversation:
-
What’s Your Style? Do you lean towards minimalistic designs or extravagant settings? What drives your preferences?
-
Ever Had a Similar Experience? Have you ever received negative feedback on your ring, only for it to later become a cherished piece? How did you handle it?
-
Learning From Each Other: What are your thoughts on certain cuts and settings? Do you think color or shape significantly influence what makes a ring ‘good’ or ‘bad’?
-
The Personal Touch: How much weight do you think personal stories and emotions should hold in choosing an engagement ring? Do you think they overshadow aesthetics?
-
Engagement Ring Trends: With styles changing over the years, what are some current trends that have caught your eye, and which do you think are on the way out?

Your friends a hater and stuff like this is completely up to opinion. I think it’s a beautiful stack and I would compliment it if I saw it in person.
Screw your friend! It’s beautiful!
It’s not to my taste but it’s not MY set, so who the heck cares. Your friend sucks!
I think its gorgeous and im not even a personal fan of gold. Who cares what your friend says or what anyone thinks. Do you love it?
I think it’s beautiful and you should also not listen to that kind of negativity…because there’s always someone who won’t like what your’e doing. Especially when it’s amazing!
Who cares what a friend or family member thinks of a ring. They’re not the one wearing it. Only thing that matters is do YOU like it? I think it’s beautiful.
It’s a gorgeous stack! I believe your friend is envious!
I really love it and snapped a photo for myself! Where did you get it? Stacked rings are so fun and attractive.
Your friend is the awful one. Wth.
Is your friend in a relationship/married/ engaged? Because that sounds like jealousy.
Tell your friend if they didn’t pay for it, they don’t have a say in it. If YOU like it, that is all that matters! My rings aren’t for everyone and I don’t give a shit because I love them. If someone doesn’t, that’s their issue☺️
You’re friend is jealous and not a very nice friend. It’s beautiful and if it makes you happy it’s all that matters anyway!
Wear what you like! It looks beautiful to me!
The best response is, “Then it’s good that YOU aren’t wearing it.” It’s your ring, and she’s rude.
Your friend is jealous and prob single and has no ring. It’s gorgeous; get new friend cuz she ain’t yours
What an ugly and awful thing to say to someone. Purely projecting her own insecurities onto you.
I love it!
Keep the set, dump the friend. I love it!
First of all it’s beautiful. Rock that set! Second, that is not a friend. Life’s too short to allow hateful people in your life. Walk away and wave goodbye with all your rings on display.
I think it’s nice, your friend is rude
That stack looks like it came from my Pinterest board 😍 IF YOU LOVE IT ROCK IT (pun intended)
Your set is beautiful! Congratulations! F your friend!
It’s yours and your love for it is what matters. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
She is not your friend. She’s a jealous hater. Dump her and keep the ring stack!
I can’t ever imagine saying that to my friend. Or anyone actually. Like everyone said it’s not on anyone else’s hand but your own.
Let me guess.. your friend doesn’t have a ring?
I personally would wear the thicker band on the bottom but it’s a lovely stack.
Friends don’t say stuff like that to each other. That’s really mean.
Your friend’s jelly
Not your friend
