The unnamed woman took to Reddit to share her disappointment with her engagement ring as she confessed that she wanted a 'larger' diamond
The post was titled: 'Feeling guilty for not loving my ring.'
She explained: 'I got engaged back in May. Prior to my now fiancé buying the ring, I sent him a ton of photos on Instagram every time I saw a ring I loved.
'All of the photos were of similar rings. I wanted a simple-ish ring, with a fairly large stone, oval and gold. I never mentioned any other specifics like lab grown or natural.'
The woman noted that when her partner got down on one knee, she was shocked to see that he didn't take inspiration from the photos she sent.
She added: 'Well, he proposed with a ring that’s oval and gold, but he just missed the mark a little on the size of the stone.
'He ended up spending more on a natural diamond that’s smaller even though I would have preferred a lab grown larger stone.
'I included a few photos of my ring (pictures one and two) and examples of what I showed him (pictures three and four).'

Although she loved that her partner tried to get her a 'better' rock, she admitted that she is still not sold on the one he bought her.
'I appreciate that he wanted to get me a “better” ring (in his opinion, since it’s natural). But I guess I’m disappointed because it’s just not my dream ring. I do like it and tried to give it time.
'I like it more than I did at first but I still don’t love it. The reason this is coming up again now is because his friend just bought a ring for his girlfriend that’s my dream ring.
'I guess I just feel sad because I made sure he knew what I liked and I thought we were on the same page,' she explained.
At the end of the post, she questioned if she was being a 'spoiled brat' as she asked people on the web for advice.
One person said: 'I’m sure my take is the outlier here. Your situation is understandable but you also didn’t tell him exactly what you wanted. You sent photos alone and expected him to know.
'Women are more detailed than men. So it’s understandable how things got mixed up. However, people put so much emphasis on the perfect ring or the ring in general. It’s a nice gesture it’s a sign of love.

'It’s not the end all be all. It’s materialistic of you to focus so much on it. Don’t focus on things you don’t like about it but maybe think about how thoughtful it was of him to get a natural diamond which is way more expensive and he probably thought you’d prefer that because you know girls love diamonds :) think of the love you share, etc. learn to appreciate it. No judgement here I promise just my perspective.
'I think the ring looks great on you!'
Someone else wrote: 'Your diamond is not small!'
Another user added: 'I would be soooo happy with your ring, it’s so beautiful and classy. Natural diamond will hold its value way more than lab grown and in years to come maybe you can upgrade. What a great fiancé you have!'
'To be fair to you, I don't think your actual ring resembles the photos you provided,' another person wrote.
