My bling ring is so massive I’m embarrassed to wear it – people can’t decide if it’s ‘tacky Temu’ or gorgeous
A WOMAN has sparked a fierce debate after showing off her mega promise ring which she is ”embarrassed” to walk around with.
The tradition of gifting promise rings dates back to ancient times, when rings engraved with romantic poems were exchanged as a symbol and promise of love.
Nowadays, it often means a couple’s commitment to each other or a declaration of monogamy, especially if they’ve been dating for some time.
The ring, which is usually on the daintier side, is typically thought of as a sort of ”pre-engagement‘‘ ring, explained the experts at H. Samuel.
One woman who recently received one from her partner is TikToker Davina – however, as gorgeous as it may be, Davina said she was too ”embarrassed” to be seen with it on her finger.
Although it is not known whether the woman has any idea where the mega ring had been purchased, she noted the jewellery was ”affordable”.
Unsure of the style of the promise ring, Davina said in her video: ”He gave me this but I’m a little embarrassed to wear it.”
The now-viral clip, which has racked up more than a staggering 19million views, also sees the woman show the gigantic ring from all angles.
The sparkly band features several adorable shiny heart-shaped gems while the main centre of attention is the epic heart rock in the middle.
But while the beauty buff felt awkward sporting the mega ring on her finger, people on social media said she should ”be grateful” and appreciate the romantic gesture.
One woman said: ”Embarrassed girl I’ll be showing off.”
Another chimed in: ”Embarrassed? If my man got me that I’d be on the floor ROLLING in happy tears.”
”It’s beautiful, be grateful,” someone else told Davina, as others wondered what the future engagement ring would look like.
However, there were also plenty of those who not only recommended her to wear it with a ”necklace chain” but also thought the jaw-dropping ring looked ”tacky” and had been ordered online on the cheap from ”Temu”.
