I have my first pang of jealousy...

Aww, don't feel bad. I think that's just everyday life. There is always going to be something prettier, better, nicer, expensive etc, than what we have. It can be with houses, cars, clothes, wedding dresses, venues, and yes rings. I think it's easier to feel that way when it's someone you know rather than a stranger. It's perfectly normal to feel a little jealousy, but you just got to love what you have and not compare it to everything else. I'm sure your ring is beautiful and someone out their is feeling the same way about your ring :-)

Aw thank you Val!

Part of me feeing so bad is the fact that I really, truly do not like my ring. It upsets me that he spent so much money on something I don't like.

Annie, don't feel bad. Like Val said we all at some point have that pang of jealousy. I love my ring, I do (wish a few stones were a smige bigger)... but a friend of mine just got engaged and I saw hers and it's 10x's better than mine.. But at the end of the day I still love mine... If you don't like your setting change it when you have a chance. My ring was my second favorite, my first favorite I could no way afford. Though I'm sure there are many girls out there that love your ring and wish they had it.

I know how you feel. My ring is absolutely beautiful, but there is a ring at the same jeweler that I would have rather had because the diamond is more low profile and the edges are a bit more rounded (I have already cut the crap out of my face with my ring while sleeping). He even asked me if there was one I would have rather had, but there's no going back now! It's hard not to get caught up in the beauty of everyone else's ring, but just think that he picked that ring himself just for you and it's the thought that counts!

Your not selfish. I love my ring because my FH gave it to me but it's tony. I get jealous sometimes too. Just remind yourself size of ring doesnt equal size of your love (i know that was cheezy)

Lol at Amy ......why not just change it if you hate it I was honest with FH and let him know I didn't like the ring and told him I couldwait until next year to change it but then his cousins wife lost hers and got the same ring as mine so I told FH no I can't wait I need another better ring now lol I did feel bad for being a little selfish but I just couldnt be happy with that ring

I LOVE my ring, its exactly what I always wanted but I go to lunch the other day with my mom and her friend joins us with her 7ct, yes, SEVENT CARAT, diamond in the exact same setting and style as my 2.5ct. Needless to say I couldn't stop staring at how much smaller mine was to hers haha it happens. love the ring you have, love the man who loves you, and vent to WW no but seriously, it helps

KristenMichelle-I constantly myself with my ring, it annoys the sh*t out of me! The prongs are what get me. I even had to take the ring back to have them smooth down the prongs and I still hurt myself with them.

I honestly don't care about the size of the diamond (mine is a little over a half a carat), it could have been 1/10 of a carat, as long as it was a style I like I would have been ecstatic.

Keeping up with the Jones, will drive you crazy.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem! Sometimes I'll scratch him with it on "accident" just to bug him haha....I'll have to ask the jeweler if there is anything they can do, but he already asked if they can lower the center stone, and I guess it can't be done because it will compromise the halo around it. I HAADDD to have a princess cut...now I remember why I started leaning toward cushion. Oh well! Maybe in the future when you guys are more financially secure, you can "upgrade" with something you like better. I know that is our plan down the line (he suggested it, not me!)

We all have jealousy pangs every now and then whether it's wedding related or every day life.

Why do you want to reset your ring? what does it look like now?

I've had those pangs on jealousy about that, but what I have done is buy 'fun' rings, rings with BIG crystal stones. then I feel better and the jealousy is over after a few days.

it's ok to feel how you feel about things like this. you don't have to feel bad.

The sad thing is its not even about our financial situation. I was just having a hangup because I'm cheap when it comes to myself lol!

My ring is a simple round solitare, however the setting is REALLY high and its just not my style at all. I know it sounds silly, but I'm very into my own fashion, Fashion Design was my major in college and while I admire the beauty of simple rings, its just not "me". Its like wearing ill fitting jeans every single day. I know that sounds dramatic, but I feel like opening up at the moment lol. I also can't tell you how many times I've cut myself with it and how many articles of clothing I have destroyed due to snags. I'm someone who wears rings often, I've never had the problem that I have with ruining my clothes!

Amy is crazy I swear.

I told my FH not to spend too much on my ring cause the ring isn't a big deal to me.

I love my ring so jealousy hasn't come up with that. but i'll admit i get jealous when i see people's houses. i want a house so bad. right now we're in an apartment. maybe in a few years...

I don't have ring jealousy, I have engagement jealousy. Seriously, since we've been engaged, I feel like all of the girls on my friends list have also gotten engaged. Now it's become some sort of silent bride wars thing.

I will say what I always say...Facebook is the devil.

They say that people actually get depressed looking at others lives on FB.

Forget about it...he probably had to get her a beautiful ring because he is a horrible lover! lol just tell yourself that. Things are never as they appear.

Well it is a good thing it's a round solitaire, you can do almost anything with that! Just keep in mind if you want a matching wedding band. I would say go ahead a get a matching set and have the diamond reset, if you are okay with that. It's a lot easier to buy them in a set.

PS-I made my fiancé a folder on our laptop of the rings I liked! I was very picky and wanted to make sure I gave him hints. I wanted a low sitting diamond without the prongs, so i understand.

Just saw my friends ring in fb who just got engaged and then looked at mine. My fiance pointed it out and he said Jeese its bigger than what I got you and he felt bad about it. Then my mother said , Oh she doesn't care about that.....when in my head I am pretty jealous of the size. Makes me depressed in a way. My ring is beautiful and I do love the way it shines but yeah in a way wish some of the diamonds in it were bigger. We are all human. We easily get jealous by things like this and it is bound to happen.
