Ashley Benson’s engagement ring

Ashley Benson’s new engagement ring has captivated our collective attention, serving as a potent symbol of our society’s complex relationship with wealth and image. I can’t help but wonder if it’s just another symbol of our culture’s obsession with materialism and status.

In this era of curated online personas and meticulous self-presentation, the significance we place on material possessions is both fascinating and troubling. Benson’s ring, undoubtedly a dazzling display of opulence, reflects the desire for validation and status that often permeates our relationships and identities.

It prompts us to ponder the ways in which our self-worth has become intrinsically tied to external symbols of success. In a world where Instagram likes and followers can dictate our sense of belonging, it becomes increasingly challenging to discern the authenticity of our connections.

In a world that constantly bombards us with images of extravagant displays of wealth, it’s important to remember that the size of a diamond does not equate to the depth of love or the success of a partnership. Let’s not lose sight of what truly matters – the connection, support, and growth that two people share as they embark on the beautiful, messy journey of life together.

As we marvel at the brilliance of Benson’s ring, let’s make sure to question the depths of our own values and aspirations, and consider whether we have inadvertently allowed material possessions to eclipse the intangible treasures of love, compassion, and genuine human connection.

So remember, dear readers, size is not all that matters.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that love and commitment should be devoid of any material representation OBVIOUSLY. Just don’t want anyone feeling “less than” if their ring is not an 8 carat monster… an engagement ring is a symbol of meaning and not worth.

This all being said – if you’re into oval cut diamonds, here are a few we like:
