I had a girlfriend asking me like twice a week for a year- when I was going to propose and then I did and she said no.

I feel like the jeweler should have stopped him.
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.
I mean to be fair 99% of those rings look ugly.
I'm with you on this - I think most jewelery is gaudy AF.
But eye of the beholder and all.

Yeah, but like... Bruh, are you sure she's as into Iron Man as you are? I know it was your first date, but she's going to have to wear this everywhere. 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?
She could have always asked for a different ring. This ring wasn't what was wrong with that relationship. it is hilariously awful though.

i will never understand that stupid craze about expensive engagement rings... i engaged to my wife without a ring. It was just a very emotional situation, i was sure that i wanted to ask her... and then i just asked. No ring, no special event planned out or something... just asked her, and she said yes.
People paying cars worth of money for a ring is so unbelievable for me.
I gave my wife a ring made out of coconut. Cost me $2 and she instantly dropped it off the balcony if the resturaunt we were at.
The Thai owner of the place climbed off the balcony into the boulder field underneath and spent 20 minutes looking for it. Even after I explained that it was only a cheap coconut ring.
He said the price isn't the point, it's the memories!
He found it, what a legend.
I carved a wood ring for her, and she was surprised I popped the question after I was carving it in front of her and sizing it against her finger

“Once upon a time” an expensive engagement ring worked as a sort of bride price and was a hedge against the risk of premarital sex.

Back when my wife and I were still dating, she found a cheap ring she loved. It was just a normal jewelry ring with her favorite stones in it, not a fancy engagement ring or anything. But she loved it so much, she told me that if I ever proposed to her, she gave me permission to steal it from her and re-present it as an engagement ring. Which I did.
I felt bad about it though. I took the ring to propose, but my plans fell through and it took me a few more days to arrange a new proposal plan. She had forgotten all about our conversation, so the whole time she was tearing the house apart, looking for her favorite ring. She loved that I "found" it and gave it back to her with a proposal.

Guy must be really poor because this looks like something that cost 20 bucks on Wish.com.
He didn't say what he made in 18 months. He might just sell Santa themed toilet seat covers during the holidays and isn't aware of how to advertise.
Okay so here's a tip that I didn't need to be told because I figured out of my own. Ask her what she likes. If you don't want to do that for whatever stupid reason, then casually point out a ring you saw and ask her what she thinks. There are subtle ways to handle it. "I saw a wedding ring that used a sapphire, what do you think of that" or "hey look at the ring in this picture I saw online," then listen to her opinion. If you do that a few times she might start to actually realize that you're going to ask her to marry you and give you useful feedback, assuming she doesn't state something useful in the meantime, such as "diamond would be better" or "I like that design but not the gemstones."
Of course if you haven't talked about that kind of thing already, clearly you're doing something wrong. My fiancee knew I was going to ask her to marry her, just not when or how. Well she figured out on the day that was coming because your girl is almost certainly better at picking up on subtlety than you are, especially when it comes to you.

I don't even get how it's iron man 3 themed? The Mk 42 was mostly gold
This looks more reminiscent of the suit he wore at the beginning of Iron Man 2
Maybe that's why she said no.
I can't marry this man! He doesn't even know his iron man suits!

Am I the only one who thinks this looks cool? If he said nothing about it being related to Iron Man 3 (one of the worst MCU movies at the time) I think it would have been acceptable. Wedding rings a fucking stupid anyway buying an expensive one just means you are a mark who does not deserve money.

I mean, it's at least worth the value of the stones and the raw materials of the band if it's recoverable without it all being red. But that is some "Holy Autism, Batman," levels of understanding what women, or any halfway average person would want.
