Okay ladies.........I found this thread a year back......and I wanted to see what sort of comments you've received regarding your e-ring.
Here's mine....(just got engaged about 2-weeks ago) this happened about 5 days later while in a sporting good store..
I asked a salesman for help with some lanterns..as he was explaining the functions to me...he stopped and said..."oh my God...that.....I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but your ring is huge...oh it's a fake... NO IT'S NOT!! I quickly interjected..then I put my finger up closer to him..and then he said OHHHH it's not....wow..how could you wear that....aren't you afraid of someone trying to rob you or losing it....(he then went on about how he recently bought his GF a .71 in Hawaii, with a setting from a very well known designer in Hawaii that incorporates nature into his setting..never heard of him...yada yada yada...he went on and on about his diamond search...then he said....you should put that into a safe deposit box and put a fake in that setting instead...who would know it's a fake...I WOULD...I said..well yeah, your right....but how could you walk around with that...i'd be scared....BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Needless to say I watched my back heading out to my car.....making sure HE WASN'T going to come after me...
and left pretty insulted.....what an experience....now I'm left wondering if everyone thinks it's a damn fake!
I told my FI what happened and he was pretty insulted himself..yeah a little ticked off...
that was my first "outdoor" compliment.....OR INSULT I don't even know what to make of it.....
then I had one of my friends touch my diamond.....OMG...who does such a thing....you don't do that!
then I had a sales gal at a bridal store just charge at me and say "omg...I just had to come and take a look...grabbed my hand..and then said...ok thank you..i just had to do that!!!!!
Am I in the twilight zone?...sorry gals...I just had to vent!!
I still can't shake that guy off with the damn fake comment...oh and he also said "I wonder if (her name. I can't recall) would wear something this big
" Hey buddy "YES SHE WOULD"
What do you gals think....how do you handle your comments?
