Get your ring back, and kick her to the curb. I proposed with a ring made from cigarette package foil. We're still together after (many) years.
It's not the ring that counts, it's the sentiment. I agree with everyone, she's a bitch!
I'm pretty sure it's the thought that counts. You did the best you could. If she can't see the value in that, maybe it's not meant to be.
before I got engaged, I tpld my fiance that he could propose to me with a burger ring and I would still say yes! (round ring potato chip in Australia) it doesn't matter what they propose with. people who bitch about the ring piss me off. my best mates fiance bitched about the ring he got her. I thought it was beautiful! I'd take the ring back btw. she doesn't deserve it. stupid bitch. p.s my ring is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and my fiance picked it himself!
The adult way to handle this... If it wasn't "expensive" enough? She complains, you go find someone not shallow. If it was something she thought was ugly or just plain not her style? She hugs you and tells you she loves you and that it's a beautiful ring, but she really would prefer a (whatever style she likes, solitaire, bezel, different metal, etc.). And then she asks if you could go shopping together and exchange it for one you are both happier with. I threw a minor upset fit at my husband. I didn't want an expensive ring at all. My only requirements? I wanted some sort of CZ or diamond in it and it needed to be a bezel set so I didn't lose the stone. It is important, so I made sure to tell him this, show him a huge variety of rings so he had an idea of my style, and then...he brought home a very nice plain silver band. Um... So, I explained again that an engagement ring has a stone, a wedding band doesn't have to. And he went back and got me...a $35 ring that I love. I did NOT take a ring I didn't like, and then bitch about it. Sorry...but...dang. RUN.
I like your reply. An engagement ring isn't a gift that you can happily accept and then hide in your jewellery box if you doesn't particularly like the design. It's something you will most likely wear for a very long time, so of course it is important that the wearer likes it. Though it doesn't sound like that was what the OP's girlfriend was talking about.
Thank you, #125 and #134. It IS important that the wearer likes the design of such a big purchase because they will potentially wear it a long time. No she didn't act in the best way, but I'm not really sure I would want to marry someone who doesn't know me well enough to know my style, or doesn't have the sense enough to ask a close friend or family member for advice or even casually browse a jewelry store with me. I wouldn't want anyone to spend money on a gift this big without knowing my style.
I'd dump her gold digging ass. But you're not much better posting on here about her.
Huge difference. OP is posting in an anonymous forum. We don't know him or his fiance. It also could have happened a few years ago and we are just hearing about it now. My guess is OP is just looking for objective feedback.
Should have told her the ring wasn't but with her shitty ass attitude she just might be
Something similar happened to me, a friend got engaged and she saw my ring and compared both of them, then she said in front of me and the guy "now that's a real ring"I was so embarrassed and felt really bad for the guy and the only thing I could say was "well at least he gave you a ring"

I'd be taking my ring back.
Well she sounds like an ungrateful bitch.
