Most girls dream of their dream proposal. Even more so, many fantasize about having a huge rock on their finger to show off. However, some people have very… interesting taste. Or, some guys really don’t know how to choose the right ring for their lady. Either way, there’s been a plethora of horrible rings that we can’t believe some people would say “yes” to. Personally, if someone proposed to me with one of these rings, I’d turn around and leave the country.
Below are 15 of the ugliest rings I’ve ever seen.
DISCLAIMER: Beauty is subjective. However, I will judge you secretly if I see one of these on your left hand. Just saying.
1. The Cluster
This gem (or multiple gems, rather) was discovered on a website running an ugly engagement ring contest. Apparently, the lady who submitted the picture agreed: “Thank GOD I never married him.” Good riddance. This ring gives me trypophobia just by looking at it. Gross.
2. The Nail
Well, it’s certainly economical. But tip for the gentlemen: Most chicks don’t dig rings found in the hardware aisle of Home Depot.
3. The princess and the frog
Maybe when you were little, you used to kiss frogs and hope they’d turn into a prince. However, do you really need to relive that memory in the form of an engagement ring?
4. Ring around the Vampire
I mean, if you’re really into vampires, then go for it. However, I wouldn’t be caught dead (or alive) wearing something like this. Although, this does remind me of something you’d buy at FrightFind…
5. Oui? Non.
It’s a love story, baby, just say…oui?
6. Skin in the Game
This is absolutely disgusting. I actually gagged while writing this. Bleck!
7. Holding on Too Tight
Rings go on fingers; they shouldn’t HAVE fingers. This is beyond weird.
8. Infectious
Again, what is up with the clusters on these rings? This hurts my eyes to look at. It looks like a disease.
9. Jersey Sore
This looks like a DNA strand. I’ll pass.
10. Permanent Marker
First of all, this isn’t even a real ring. Second of all…why?
11. rainbow ring
This one could be worse, but it’s not great. I guess if you really love color, this one is fine.
12. Simple, yet…still ugly
This one looks like there was zero effort put into it. Like, come on, you couldn’t have put a little more detail? This is the bare minimum of all rings.
13. too much effort
This ring is the try-hard older sister to the last one. The last ring was too simple, but this ring is too much. I think some designers don’t know when to stop.
14. Crazy cat lady
I mean, if you’re a huge cat lover, maybe you’ll like this one. However, as a fan of cats myself, this one is a no, thank you.
15. What even is this?
I seriously don’t know what to even call this one. It’s quite literally hideous.
LOL – this made me laugh. Except that skin one – that made me cringe.
I actually love the Dior “oui” ring, but I wouldn’t wear it as an engagement ring. More suited as a pinkie ring I’d say.
The heart one (number 3) stands out in this list because it just doesn’t look strange like the other ones. I would prefer the platinum over the gold. Try looking at a platinum version of this ring in person. Pictures don’t do it justice I guess.One of my friends didn’t like the idea of a heart until she saw a nice one in person. I’ve heard many compliments on this one in the bay area California where I’m from (and yes from fashionable people). And I wonder why many respectable companies like Tiffany would bother carrying an ugly shape… Don’t need a business person to tell me that it is one of the regular offered shapes for a reason. But feel free to call them and ask them why on earth they carry such a thing. Eye of the beholder. Sure sure. I agree with you on all the other ones. Just not sure that one belongs in this list. But hey it’s your list.
Ring 7 is a Claddagh it is the typical Irish Engagement Ring, this ring has its history for over 300 years, If you don’t like the design it or this particular ring it is your own issue, but the ring is full of symbols and it does have hearts, hands with fingers and even a crown. This ring represents one of the most romantic things a man can give to a woman it is sad you are showing disdain for mere lack of knowledge.
For the sake of it, no man deserves to be told that he is not good because he has to struggle to get her woman a large branded engagement ring. If a woman is dating a guy and receives a marriage proposal she should be proud to know that someone considers her worthy of such a commitment. It is a fact she also knows who her man is and if he is not husband material what in earth is she doing in that relationship. The ring is only a mere tradition what is important is the intention with which is given. Beautiful, branded, grand or just a simple detail all engagement rings are beautiful for what they represent.
The oui one is pretty. it isn’t really an engagement ring. We speak in English but it is romantic if there was an inside joke in the French language.
Of all of these, I’d actually wear the nail instead of any of the others. At least, it’s simple and not gaudy or ridiculous…
