Engagement Ring change

So my Fiancé proposed to me with this 3/4 carat ring (first 2 pictures) and it was designed how I explained to him however wasn’t quite what I was expecting and due to the design I would have to get a curved wedding band (I wanted a straight and sparkly one) After some talk and unfortunately a few arguments 😢 we agreed to go back to the jewelers and see what we could do! They had 25-40% off sale and my FH agreed we could totally swap in the first ring for a new ring if I so choose. Now the ring he modeled after was an $8,000 ring and I shouldn’t have even expected him to pay that much when he clearly told me he couldn’t! So he tried to make it work the best way he could by getting me the look a like (first two pictures). I tried to be happy with it and in my heart I was trying so hard to like it but I just didn’t ....so he agreeed to come with me to the store and see what could be done. When we went back to Kays we had 2 options (get the ring I loved and pay the balance or find another ring in our budget) —-if we decided to get the original $8000 1 carat Tolkowsky ring (now on sale) we would still have to pay an additional $3,000 pay off for it after the exchange and he was very adamant all week on not paying extra but once we were in the store he saw how much I loved it and he agreed we could do it. BUT I decided not to put that financial burden on us despite him finally agreeing, I asked to see rings in our budget. We found this ring (3rd/4th ring picture) it’s a 0.5 carat double halo pave 14k white gold ring and we’re able to do an even exchange ring swap only paying $150 for the lifetime warranty! We were both thrilled, I’m so in love with my new ring- he is so happy as well that the ring looks better and our parents are Also happy and pleased with the swap feeling the 2nd ring is more elegant. Now that the ring issue got resolved .....Here is the problem now...... we posted a picture on our engagement day of the first ring (cute and petite - first 2 photos) and now for our engagement photos we will have the newer bigger ring and I am concerned about what others might think about this. Getting or wanting a bigger ring is always shamed on and frowned upon and I know I shouldn’t care what people think .. my FH and immediate family were only super supportive and happy with our decision and I don’t want to care what others would think, but I do...... any advice ladies on the posting of the new ring and have any of you changed the e-ring before the wedding ?
