User Sarah S shared her saga on the site, stating she “love[s] her fiancé very much” and had “the most beautiful proposal,” though as soon as she saw the ring, she was not pleased.
“When he opened the box the first thing I thought was ‘it’s small,’” she wrote.
“The ring is lovely - it’s a platinum, round brilliant cut solitaire 0.8ct. He had it made from a reputable firm and it cost just shy of £5k ($6,450),” she continued.

“I have done so much research, I constantly stare at other people’s rings and still look in shop windows and I can’t help but feel a 0.8ct (nearly a whole carat!) should look a bit bigger. He even told me when he collected it he too thought it looked small. He knew my friends’ rings were around 0.6-0.7 and bless him, he said he wanted me to have a 'better' ring to be proud and show off - mine look tiny compared to my friends' rings, it makes no sense,” she went on.
While the woman insists she’s “not a shallow or fickle person,” she did want advice on how to broach the subject of her disappointment of the ring with her fiancé. (iStock)
The woman wrote that the ring setting is also “very low” and lays flat to her hand.
