Woman Mocks Small Engagement Ring; Twitter Claps Back!

A diamond is forever, and so is the internet.

So, an Australian woman tweeted out a photo of a hand, possibly hers but possibly not, with a small engagement band on the ring finger.

She wasn"t shy about mocking the ring size, indicating that an engagement ring needs to be more substantial to earn her respect.

It"s possible, and many people assumed this to be the case, that this woman had received this engagement ring and was expressing her disappointment.

It"s possible that she was genuinely touched but trying to be catty or whatever on Twitter.

But you know, it might be the likeliest of all that she saw this photo, maybe online or maybe sent to her by a genuinely excited friend, and decided to mock it on Twitter.

Regardless, she ignited a firestorm on Twitter, where everyone had an opinion about small engagement bands.
