[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 121 points 2 years ago (23 children) I feel like the jeweler should have stopped him. permalink fedilink source hideshow 23 child comments replies: [–] Stern@lemmy.world 109 points 2 years ago* (10 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 years ago (2 children) I mean to be fair 99% of those rings look ugly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 30 points 2 years ago I'm with you on this - I think most jewelery is gaudy AF.

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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 16 points 2 years ago* (2 children) She could have always asked for a different ring. This ring wasn't what was wrong with that relationship. it is hilariously awful though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [+] SARGE@startrek.website 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago people customers always just cut it off 5 words in for some reason… Fixed that for ya. ;) permalink fedilink source parent [–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago I am always wrong in matters of taste.
