I feel like the jeweler should have stopped him.
The customer is always right in matters of taste. He wants an ugly ring? Jeweler should try and steer him away... but if homey is dead set, get paid in advance and make sure they sign off on the design.
I mean to be fair 99% of those rings look ugly.
I'm with you on this - I think most jewelery is gaudy AF.
But eye of the beholder and all.
Yea, I've definitely seen "normal" rings that this one looks better than.
Yeah, but like... Bruh, are you sure she's as into Iron Man as you are? I know it was your first date, but she's going to have to wear this everywhere. She's going to show it off to her friends and family and coworkers. This bright red abomination that looks like it came in a box of cereal, that's going to cost at a minimum $50 thousand dollars. Are. You. Sure?
She could have always asked for a different ring. This ring wasn't what was wrong with that relationship. it is hilariously awful though.
You're right about that. I would guess that this ring is a strong indication of the underlying problem, though. Specifically, impulsivity and egocentrism and an unhealthy dose of obtuse carelessness.
I hate the way it looks, but I might not if I was in love with the person who gave it to me. I hope I wouldn’t, because tbh, I don’t think I could bring myself to ask for a different ring if someone spent 18 months salary on one for me.
Oh my god I just felt my chest release slightly with a tension I didn't even know was there.
I never hear the full sentence, people always just cut it off 5 words in for some reason...
Fixed that for ya. ;)
I am always wrong in matters of taste. This is why I get other people to do all tastes for me. This includes my wardrobe
