She’s Upset Her Fiancé Proposed To Her With A 20k Lab Grown Diamond And Is Demanding He Exchange It For A New Ring

A 27-year-old woman was dating a 30-year-old man for 5 years, and in May he decided to propose to her.

This guy got down on one knee and she happily accepted the ring, and everything was going great in their relationship.

Then, she asked him how much her engagement ring had cost him. He explained to her that it cost $20,000.

It took him ten years to save up that much money, and he had planned on spending it to buy a kit car for himself.

But then, as he realized this woman was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, he felt comfortable investing that much into the ring.

At first, his fiancée was literally blown away that he had dropped 20k on the ring she now had on her hand.

The ring is huge at 3.6 karats, and that made her “suspicious.” She began asking if he could show her the diamond certificate that her ring came with.

“I, of course, showed it to her (I thought she was worried I had been duped into buying a fake) and when she saw it was lab grown she got upset that I hadn’t bought her a “real” diamond,” he said.

He was shocked by what she said to him, and he listed out why.

First of all, he really dislikes natural diamonds and the fact they could be blood diamonds.

Second of all, he already asked all of her friends and family members if she would be ok with the diamond being grown in a lab, and they said she would not care at all.

Well, turns out she does care…big time.

He tried to tell her the diamond on her ring was free of conflict and was created in a sustainable way.

On top of that, he did everything he could to get her the most stunning ring he could with the money he had.

He then pointed out that she had no idea the diamond wasn’t even a natural one, and she would have continued to not have any idea, except for the fact that he told her how much her ring cost.

She’s trying to say she can tell the diamond is lab grown now so it’s “just not the same.”

She’s also demanding he needs to exchange it for a new ring with a natural diamond that costs $20,000.

He invested significant time into selecting what he thought would be the perfect engagement ring for her, so he does not want to buy her a new ring.

“So I said no, and said if she wanted to give the ring back and end our relationship, that is fine, but I would not exchange it,” he said.

“She called me an a****** and went to stay the night with her parents. Since then I have received multiple texts from her friends telling me to just acquiesce and exchange the ring (and, ultimately, I will if it means saving the relationship) but I just feel like this is something worth being firm on.”
