Engagements are unique events that can be spontaneous but most of the time it involves a lot of planning. People who propose often go through a checklist on what to get ready before they pop the big question.

Where would they do it? How would they do it?

Would they forget their speech in the middle of proposing or are they going to somehow misplace the ring? It’s all very stressful.

Speaking of rings, it’s a particularly famous topic when it comes to engagement. It feels like a story isn’t complete without one. 

Some even dream of what their other half would buy for them. It can show how much they really know each other.

But rings are expensive, especially ones for engagement. If you know that the one you’re proposing to expects something that they can show off, then you’re bound to save up for a good ring.

There are instances though that the only thing people can afford are small rings, and there isn’t anything generally wrong with that. The mess happens when judgment squeezes its way into the situation.

What’s worse is if that judgment came directly from the person being proposed to, like this lady whose post was shared on Reddit. Before you come down with your own verdict though, listen to what these Redditors had to say.

Here is the post of the one who re-posted the situation about the small engagement ring

The picture in question

If you look closer into the situation, there’s a lot more than the lady should be concerned with other than the size of the ring

It can also be healthy to discuss your preference with your partner, especially if you’ve been in a relationship for that long. It would avoid disappointment in the future

Redditors have debated the possible price of the ring

The answers had differed on each answer

If he did save up for that ring for so long he might, unfortunately, had been scammed

Redditors have also theorized how long he spent actually saving up

He might have been saving up for something else other than the ring or not at all

The worst part is that it doesn’t look like he considered what his partner might have liked

Does it have to be diamond?

There’s a lot of criticism for those who choose smaller diamonds to get engaged with but you should consider if diamonds are what you want or what society dictates to be acceptable

There are other practical options to spend money on instead of putting it all on a ring when you can buy beautiful ones for a lesser price

Why not something identical to diamonds instead? They might fit your style more

Moissanite seems to be a popular option

Especially if you’re frugal and would rather put effort into your future savings

Not all people that are being proposed to would appreciate it anyway

If you’re looking for something uncommon, however, there are also sapphires

They come in different colors so you could fit them better with a person’s personality

Some of them can be pretty expensive but it would at least widen the variety of your choices
