Someone in my town received the same ring!

I wouldn’t worry. Obviously it’s a beautiful ring. Someone else loved it as well. Look at it as you have great taste!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! I guess it it peeves me a little because my whole goal was to have something different and unique. Not like anyone else’s... lol as time goes on I know I will get into this mindset..

That’s gorgeous. I wouldn’t worry either about your ring not being “unique”. Because think of all those women in this world who have literally a single solitaire aha. All rings are beautiful even if they’re not necessarily one of a kind

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! This makes me feel better

View Quoted Comment Yes, you will! Everything right now is new, and it’s all about you and your fiancé. I feel like I’m in a wedding bubble, that’s all I think about. I don’t even have an engagement ring. Remember, yours is super special, because it is from your love, with love!

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much. Yes it’s a lot!!! Please post if you need some relief!! 💕

That ring is beautiful as is, I would not change the look. Unless you have a custom made ring and pay an extra $10,000 or so to get a written guarantee they will never make another exactly like yours, you will not be unique. And even then, another ring maker will start sketching ideas, and design one exactly like yours, without ever seeing yours. And make 4,000 like it that are sold in your state. Unique does not matter. I have seen spoiled princesses get Daddy to buy them a second, super expensive e wedding dress. Then go to a wedding in a couple weeks and see her style dress on the bride, a friend, and have fits wanting a third dress. When she has already gone through 2 that were so stunning on her, no one would at that time have envisioned the dress on another person as looking the same as she did. So the third one, she got a custom made dress, in the style Grace Kelly her favorite old time movie actress wore when she became Princess of Monaco. And the fall after her wedding, a big name American middle price range maker of bridal gowns decided to bring back the look. And several people she knew bought it. She had screaming fits. And everyone forgot how gorgeous she looked on her wedding day, and ever after people made fun of her for her being a bad tempered !!!!! My SIL of my first husband's family. Chasing being unique gets ridiculous. Just look beautiful. Such a great ring, who cares that others have it. What would you do if you got a totally different one, and the next day the new neighbor next door had one like that? That she got 10 years ago?

You’re right!! My ring symbolizes my love and commitment to my FH. I really needed exactly what you said. With so much social media we can get lost in “things” and people. A ring is not about the sparkle or what have you. Simply to be known as taken by the one you love. Thank you!!! ❤️

I was married once before 17 years ago, a few months into our engagement an acquaintance of mine complimented my ring told her boyfriend to look at it and was Gaga over it. A few weeks later I ran into her and she had gone and gotten the exact same ring. I was furious and heart broken. Granted we got my ring at a big box store, I knew I wasn’t the only one who was going to have that ring but never thought someone I knew would have it. We distanced ourselves from the very quickly

View Quoted Comment Haaa!!! So true. All classic solitaires look the same and they’re on SO many hands. 💍

View Quoted Comment It stinks!! But there’s nothing we can do.
So I’m trying to take the attitude these kind ladies have suggested. I’m sorry that happened to you! I know it’s frustrating.

Your ring is gorgeous though!!! You can certainly add an enhancer or your wedding band and it'll change the look entirely. Plus I'm sure no one will notice really. It's a beautiful ring and I'm sure so much shinier in person.

View Quoted Comment Thanks, Kathryn!! ❤️

They manufacture thousands of those rings, it's not just yours. It happens. Sometimes people's tastes overlap and that's okay! Just like someone else, literally anywhere in the world, might have the same dress, veil, shoes, invites, whatever.

Enjoy your ring, the meaning of that gift. You can plan ahead for the next stage ring be one exclusive for you ( that some jewelry maker do it for you) , if it’s really that important for you to have an unique ring.


I really believe you should like your ring but more important you should be happy with the special person you are for someone else and he/her is for you! Enjoy your life everyday. That is what counts in a relationship. A couple that together feel/live happy and are best friends and everything else is the real gift!Be happy if you have that! Congratulations for this beautiful step!! 😉

View Quoted Comment Thank you Sandra, you’re exactly right! I do have something very special with my FH!

View Quoted Comment I am glad that’ll your case! Is really awesome when you find that person that make you smile and be with you in the great times and hard times. It’s beautiful and priceless! I wish you the best!! 😄

Ok so it feels really good to know that I'm not alone. My FH went to a Jeweler that sells Neil Lane rings in our area. He didn't go into the appointment with intentions of buying any certain designer's ring, his plan was knowing it was the one when he saw it. He ultimately purchased my gorgeous Neil Lane design (after looking at 20+ options). It is more than I ever imagined in my wildest dreams! I love it so much and even after 15 months of being engaged, I still stare at it every day in disbelief. Anyway, a few days later, a girl I went to high school with got engaged and had the same freaking ring! I was so annoyed. I'm over it now but when it happened, I was so ticked off.

After some time, it set in that my FH picked this ring because it was unique & beautiful, like me. He wanted the perfect ring and not just the first one he saw, so he spent hours in a store deliberating & working out finances to buy me a ring. Which is enough for to realize that even if we have the same ring, our stories are so different and I wouldn't change a thing about mine

View Quoted Comment Exactly!!! We never talked about rings. We had decided to move in together from our last year different grad school hidey holes, found a place, and we're packing things from my kitchen to move. And 10 months from meeting, suddenly talked getting married. Let's clear our school loans, work extra til we do, and do our our wedding from our money. And I did not even think about a ring. So when he surprised me with a ring a couple days later, one which most people made faces about, I was thrilled. Because it had no stone. Nothing to catch on and tear medical gloves, or bother me when rubbing up against other people's boddies ( PT/ nursing) and no metal to be a problem with power tools, hand held. A plain curved band, a high tech glass, baked on enamel. Perfect for me, who cannot keep her hands out of garden dirt, who risks shock, or getting fingers caught due to a stone on metal type ring. Expandable for when my fingers swell. Doesn't get caught in thick dog fur. None of you might want it. But I know from advice he had given a brother and a friend months before, that he was inclined to pay a lot, do a showy stone, make the bride happy stuff. All wonderful for someone else. And a couple of guys I never for a minute considered marrying, proposed with such rings. But this man I had known such a short time, and not yet lived with, had been paying attention to me. And is fine with me being me. I love to be fashionable and love fancy evening wear. But day to day, it is boots and twill pants or denim, and hair out of the way in French braids. And hands that cook and clean and paddle kayaks and canoes, dig in the dirt and tap maple trees. And he knows exactly who I am, and got me a ring that says, I know you, and want you just the way you are. The best ring in the world, for an engagement ring. For me.

I do understand how you feel about this. Both times I’ve bought a new car someone else got the exact same one in my little town. And I don’t buy cars that look like everyone else’s. Bright orange and the newest one was lime green.
They say the biggest compliment is is imitation.
