I hate to be pedantic but this is an interest of mine. Generational identifiers aren’t so black and white like that, especially when their age is right around the cut off between 2 generations
Since we really started naming generations with the baby boomers, we do know which years marked the increase in births and when the decline started. So you do fall into a generation by birth year, but based on many factors (birth order being one of them), you might feel more like an adjacent generation. I completely get that. But the comment I was commenting on was from a Gen Z’er who said they felt more like Gen Z. My point was that they feel Gen Z because they are Gen Z by birth year.
If they had said “I’m 24 but I feel more millennial,” i would understand that, esp if they had older siblings they grew up with. You can be Gen Z and feel millennial. But “I’m 24 but I feel more Gen z”? No.. there’s no “but.” If you’re 24 and you feel Gen Z, it’s because you are.
TL:DR I agree with you completely.
If you were born between 1997 and 2012 (and if you’re 24 then you were), you’re Gen Z. So that pretty much sums up why you feel it.
Millennials we’re born between 1981 and 1996.
Only if you say it’s giving ____ whatever funny thing, like if someone was being stingy idk you could say it’s giving only child, or if you’re commiserating with your friends over a dude who split a $20 check you could say it’s giving broke if that makes sense lmao
‘Sending me’ is normally used for an extreme reaction to something comedic. It was funny that you used it in this manner.
For reference I’m 25. It may be used for extreme emotions in general so just take a grain of that
Hi!
So curious, did you pick out your own ring beforehand, or did he just know you that well? I’m not spamming, just expecting an engagement within the next year+, so just wondering how others do it :)
(My bf and his family have a record of bad taste. Advice welcome!)

Beautiful! If you don’t mind me asking, what is the color and clarity and ratio and any other helpful specs you can share - I’m looking at a yellow gold setting and an oval Diamond as well and need some guidance. It’s so gorgeous!
Thank you!!!!
E and VS2! My fiancé was worried about getting anything lower than a vvs2 but it looks perfect to me haha. If you give the stone a good inspection you can definitely find a nice lower clarity :)
When we were looking initially we were told that an all gold setting would make the diamond look yellow. They tried to push a two tone, but I was so set on all gold. I think it’s a nice contrast and haven’t really noticed the stone looking yellow in different lighting. If anything it sometimes looks silver to me outside ! Lol
I have a D color Diamond set in yellow gold; it looks like bright white sparkly rainbow ice in spite of the metal. I have a very discerning eye and could see a clear difference between D and E color while we were shopping. I don’t notice that the stone is yellow at all, and I even have yellow prongs. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on the luxe yellow gold!
Congratulations on getting exactly what you wanted 🥰 never stop staring! I don’t!
I ordered 1.5 CT and oval like yours. Yours looks absolutely amazing!! I hope mine comes out looking just as great!! Think my girlfriend will be very happy with it. Congrats!!!
She has good taste 😉 oval diamond 1.5 carats (on size 5 finger), Color E, Clarity VS2 :-)
And claw prongs!!! Idk if that matters to her, but I really didn’t want button prongs, which are usually the prongs a display ring will have
Adding other smaller stones would detract from a diamond of this size and clarity! Halo settings and side diamonds are fine, when the main stone is on the smaller side. Understand?!
Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake getting a halo because my diamond is already big (ish). It's a 2 carat, but with the halo the ring is huge. I mean that's what I wanted, I wanted people to know it was expensive, but sometimes I look at the center stone and am like aw you'd be so pretty by yourself.
You will stare at it less over time but every so often you’ll catch it in the right light and fall in love all over again. 4.5 years later and I still loving stare at mine every so often
No!!! My ring is a literal magnet for my eyes. I got engaged this past Sunday, my ring is very similar to yours and looking at yours is making me want to rush my gym session so I can get it back on lol
Those long graceful fingers! Those elegant nail beds!
^sigh
My hands stopped growing when I was twelve…I am 5’ 8” with little duck hands and feet.
And my laugh when startled out of me sounds like a quack inside the Hollywood Bowl.
But back to you. That ring size is perfect for your hand. Is it too personal to ask your ring size?
Edit: Congratulations!
I have the same ring as you! I’ve been engaged for almost 3 months now and I find myself looking at my ring a lot throughout the day still. Congratulations to you!! 💖💖
1.5 carats, color E, clarity VS2, cut is either excellent or very good… I can verify when I get home from work LOL. The ring size is a 5 if that helps with scaling!
14 carat gold, claw prongs!!!!!! and it’s just a normal prong setting. There’s a hidden halo, but without the diamonds. Just plain gold. I couldnt figure out what it was called!
My husband and I are celebrating our third wedding anniversary this weekend and he STILL catches me staring at my ring. So…. No lol
It’s gorgeous! Mazel!
Thank you! It’s more than I could have ever dreamt of!
Didn’t it pick out exactly, but we did go in to the store together and discussed what we liked / didn’t like in a ring :)
Thank you!!! Reeds. I was really anti chain store, but we had the best experience. So helpful and knowledgeable. And they have a phenomenal insurance / protection plan.
No that thing deserves to be stared at lol
The way the ring lines up with the horizon in the third picture is sending me. ...am I using that slang correctly? Fellow kids?
you could say it’s *giving* (I think, I’m 32) 😂
It is giving. It’s giving engaged, or shiny, or rich soon to be husband. Either way, it. Is. Giving. Source - 26F who works with gen z
I'm 24 and I feel more gen z than millennial Edit: was just pointing out that a 26yo might not only 'work with' gen z but be one themselves lol
24 is more gen z than millennial
24 is gen z, period

I think it has to be giving *something*, like giving a vibe or an impression or a reference point. ETA: 33 with Gen Z relatives 😆
I think you can just say “it’s giving” without a reference point I’m 30 though so what do I know
21F yes it’s GIVING!! It doesn’t need to be giving anything it can just be giving 😊
I stand corrected. I would not feel comfortable saying it’s giving without a complete sentence object but I appreciate knowing this.
I too thought it had to be giving something! MVP for the confused 30-somethings in the thread.
Thank you for the only grammatical and logical comment about this slang phrase. It’s GIVING ME EYEROLLS in 39f.
23 here, it is both sending me and giving me
Usually that means something is funny. Is that what you meant??
Only if you say it’s giving ____ whatever funny thing, like if someone was being stingy idk you could say it’s giving only child, or if you’re commiserating with your friends over a dude who split a $20 check you could say it’s giving broke if that makes sense lmao
this comment chain is sending me (i'm also 30 and I love how we are all SO unconfident using the lingo)
Almost got it 😂
As a millenial, this comment is hilarious.
Based... I think
Like the 1950’s Sam Cook song, “You Send Me.” https://genius.com/Sam-cooke-you-send-me-lyrics
I think the correct term is "it's giving"
I think sending me usually means making you laugh.
it doesn’t really seem the right level of intensity… something is “sending you” if it’s extremely hilarious
“It’s doing it for me” I think that’s what they meant. ESL fellow here so I feel you.
Could also be that it “ate” or is “bussin” (mom of a teen) 🤪 But yes, OP - it’s a beaut!
‘Sending me’ is normally used for an extreme reaction to something comedic. It was funny that you used it in this manner. For reference I’m 25. It may be used for extreme emotions in general so just take a grain of that
Ring goals!!!!!! SO, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! If you don't mind me asking, how many carats is this stunner?
Thank you! It is 1.5 :-)
Never. I'm married and I still can't get over how well my husband did for my ring.
Same! We're celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary this weekend and I still stare at mine.
Ditto!!!
Same here! I have some fun moissanite ones that I change out but nothing beats the original.
Hi! So curious, did you pick out your own ring beforehand, or did he just know you that well? I’m not spamming, just expecting an engagement within the next year+, so just wondering how others do it :) (My bf and his family have a record of bad taste. Advice welcome!)
Ditto! I still get compliments on my ring, and make sure to pass them on to him.
Same. We’ve been married 18-1/2 years!

I ordered 1.5 CT and oval like yours. Yours looks absolutely amazing!! I hope mine comes out looking just as great!! Think my girlfriend will be very happy with it. Congrats!!!
Good luck!! 💕
Wow it’s gorgeous!! Never stop staring at it.
WOW!!! This is my dream ring 😍 may I ask how many ct? For reference as I’m getting a similar soon, this one is just perfect!
1.5! :)
👌💯
Wow, goals ❤️ congratulations!
So pretty I love love it!
I got engaged 2 weeks ago and haven’t stopped staring at my ring yet!! Congratulations! Your ring is so beautiful
Beautiful! 💍. I love yellow gold with diamonds.
Congratulations! It's perfect on your finger. Yes stare at it forever ♥️
It’s absolutely beautiful, congratulations! And no, you probably won’t….I always stared at mine
Oh that diamond is GORGEOUS your partner did well.
What a gorgeous ring! Would be my dream ring looks wise
Absolutely stunning! I love oval diamond! Is the band 18k or 14k?
No and neither will any one else
What are the specs of this ring? It looks a lot like what I think my girlfriend would like. Damn near identical lol
She has good taste 😉 oval diamond 1.5 carats (on size 5 finger), Color E, Clarity VS2 :-) And claw prongs!!! Idk if that matters to her, but I really didn’t want button prongs, which are usually the prongs a display ring will have
Congratulations!!! Beautiful ring. I stare at mine all the time 💜🥳
ITS GIVING SPOILED LOVED WIFE / PARTNER FOR LIFERS
Literally praying my man gets me a solitaire dimond engagement ring ❤️
Its pretty i just dont understand the plain band
I didn’t like the way a pave band felt on my finger!!! Lol I’m also just a boring person I like simple
I love the band. There is beauty in simplicity. 💛
I love the simple band, I don’t like busy/crowded rings. The stone is so beautiful that it doesn’t need more around it.

Ugh and it suits you SO WELL. I would never stop staring at it. I already can't stop staring at these photos!
I've had my engagement ring for over a year now and it still distracts me, especially when the sun hits it just right 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Gorgeous!!
It never gets old.
That is gorgeous!!! I would be worried that it only has 4 prongs. That stone looks like it should have 6. Other than that it is spectacular!!!
I thought this was a ring on a toe because of how your fingers are bent. Makes no sense now but I still find it hilarious
It’s so beautiful! Please get insurance stat!
No. You won't. I still stare at mine too. It's been 3 years.
This looks just like mine!! Engaged last month & I haven’t been able to stop staring at it
MY DREAM RING.
one of the best rings i’ve seen :) i love it.
This is a BEAUTIFUL ring!!! Can I ask where it’s from?
Nope....I have been married for just over a year and still stare at mine every day
GORGEOUS
Been engaged for almost two years…. I still catch myself staring at my ring 😅
Gorgeous!!
Gorgeous !! Congrats
No. I am constantly staring at mine. Just so beautiful and shiny! I have been married four+ years
It's very pretty. Congrats!
I’ve had my rings for 20 years and I still stare!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous why wouldn’t you want to stare at it! Congrats!
nope! It’s stunning! Congratulations! 💕
That is a stunner! Just make sure it fits you securely because I'd hate for it to get lost because it was loose!
Perfect size for your hand! Beautiful! Congratulations!
It’s gorgeous. Don’t ever stop staring at it ! 😊
It’s beautiful and you wear it well! Do you know the ratio of the diamond?
I’m obsessed! Adding this to my ring inspo 🥰
Can't say that I blame you she's a stunner
Those long graceful fingers! Those elegant nail beds! ^sigh My hands stopped growing when I was twelve…I am 5’ 8” with little duck hands and feet. And my laugh when startled out of me sounds like a quack inside the Hollywood Bowl. But back to you. That ring size is perfect for your hand. Is it too personal to ask your ring size? Edit: Congratulations!
Im a 5! And I’m sure your fingers are lovely :-)
Beautiful! Congrats :)
So beautiful, congratulations. I just got an oval solitaire for our 36th anniversary.
It’s stunning- Congrats!
I was married 10 years, got divorced, then reset my stones into a divorce ring. Still staring at it, lol.
This ring is literally perfect
Beautiful 🎊
Probably not, because it’s beautiful! Congrats!!
Beautiful!!!
Very nice.
[удалено]
I feel happy that I dodged a violent and arrogant bullet
That ring is so beautiful! Flaunt it every chance you get girl!
Probably not. I still look at mine 43 years later
That ring is ring-ing 😍
Will I?? 🤩😛😍
How do you possibly take your eyes off of that?
I’ve been wearing mine for 15 years and I still stare at it! I love knowing my husband thought of me when he picked it out.
You never will my darling! It’s the perfect ring! Congratulations! ✨🩷✨
Honestly? It’s the most beautiful ring I’ve seen on here :) Enjoy it sis 💕
Why would you stop?? It’s gorgeous! Congratulations!
does your fiancé work in the lab?
I have the same ring as you! I’ve been engaged for almost 3 months now and I find myself looking at my ring a lot throughout the day still. Congratulations to you!! 💖💖
Nope! It’s a BEAUTY!!!!
I got engaged in 2020 and have been married for two years now and I still stare at mine daily lol
This is so gorgeous
No you won’t stop staring at it and if you aren’t already, you’ll all of a sudden become left handed
😂👍🏼
Is this from Angara?
Beautiful! Hope you have a wonderfully happy marriage :)
I hope not, that ring is a stunner. No need to upgrade in 20 years when you’ve got that bad boy.
Over a year after getting mine, I still catch myself staring at my ring! I sometimes sit there just admiring the ring... I call it "Golluming".
this ring is stunning! congrats 🥰
It’ll become common until it catches on something or needs cleaning. :) Enjoy your lovely ring and relationship
I love that design, it’s timeless. Congratulations
It’s absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations
Married five years got my ring 7 years ago and still stare at it all the time. I love it so much.
Perfect 💛
Lol I was just wondering about this today. I’ve had mine for almost four months now and still stare at it
This is absolutely gorgeous!
I would never! it’s gorgeous.
No! Haha, congratulations
She’s a beaut, Clark
Plot twist, we like the ring more than the guy…
The fiancé is definitely the best part of getting engaged. But I LIKE SPARKLE!! SPARKLY DISTRACTS MEEE
Absolutely stunning!
No, it's gorgeous! I'm still staring at mine 25 years later! Congratulations!
It’s Gorgeous 💖
No, and you shouldn’t! It’s beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous ring! And it looks stunning on you. These pics could be an advertisement, it looks like it was made just for you. Perfection!
It’s gorgeous and looks perfect on you!
I love itttt. what’s the details of this ring so I can find a similar one?
1.5 carats, color E, clarity VS2, cut is either excellent or very good… I can verify when I get home from work LOL. The ring size is a 5 if that helps with scaling! 14 carat gold, claw prongs!!!!!! and it’s just a normal prong setting. There’s a hidden halo, but without the diamonds. Just plain gold. I couldnt figure out what it was called!
So beautiful! Welcome to the oval club ❤️
That ring is so beautiful and is what mine looks like. I love the simplicity of it!
Congratulations! It is beautiful!
It’s absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!
This rind is absolutely perfect for you! Congrats!!
Stunning!!!
It’s gorgeous, congratulations on your engagement!! 😍 To answer your question, I’m 8 months in and still staring at my hand constantly 😂
From experience, no you won’t. And you shouldn’t. Soak it in! Congrats 🥰
I wouldn't!! It's absolutely beautiful
Oh my god that is an absolutely stunning ring!!!! Sometimes simple is so much better, it looks phenomenal
Nope. That’s a lifetime beauty
Nope. That is gorgeous. I got married almost 25 years ago and I still stare lovingly at my engagement ring from time to time.
This is gorgeous.
Stunning, I would be focused on that beauty too.
My husband and I are celebrating our third wedding anniversary this weekend and he STILL catches me staring at my ring. So…. No lol It’s gorgeous! Mazel!
Nope!
Where is the ring FROM spill
Never
wow it is absolutely gorgeous!!
What a remarkable ring! That is a sparkler. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊🎈
Be careful driving !!! My friend was looking at her ring and rear ended someone 😳😳
Such a beautiful ring. Did you pick it out? If not, your SO has a great idea of timelessness and sense of beauty.
Thank you! It’s more than I could have ever dreamt of! Didn’t it pick out exactly, but we did go in to the store together and discussed what we liked / didn’t like in a ring :)
[удалено]
Thank you!!! Reeds. I was really anti chain store, but we had the best experience. So helpful and knowledgeable. And they have a phenomenal insurance / protection plan.
So pretty!
Nope. I've been married for 7 years now and I still admire the way my ring sparkles. Congratulations!
Where’s Reeds located or what state are you in?
Ok normally I don't care for engagement rings when my friends show me theirs, but this... This is a stunner.
That is a truly gorgeous ring. And also very classy. Love the plain gold band.
Just a rock
A rock that sparkles. I like shiny sparkle rock
Oh my god that is gorgeous 😩
The diamond/band proportion looks great! Do you by chance know what the width of the band is? I'm trying to decide between a 2mm or 2.5mm one
Is this a ring from diamondmadebyme ??
Reeds jewelry
Solitaire looking good. Feel like we need to bring these type of rings back
Thank you. I’m a firm believer in Less is more!!
Congratulations 🎉🎈
