Tacky.
what are you refering to as tacky? my ring of Ferret's post?
Your ring.
I've been pretty lucky to sit in on this conversation with a friend of my family a few years back who was a sixth generation goldsmith/jewler, owned his own shop, etc. etc.
Basically it comes down to detail, or lack of it, defining the features and quality. There is nothing wrong with the kind of a ring you chose, if the ring and its ingredients cost in the upper range of about a million dollars (figurative price, just to paint the value system behind precious stones) and beyond and the detail is matched with quality, but even just looking at the image of that ring, I can see it definitely isn't one with high-value jewels and gold, but more it's trying to look as if it is.
The key to selecting a ring is your price range, and then taking the value and making it seamless. The ring you chose, to me, just screams "tacky" as it has quite a bit of detail, and it clearly states that you wanted a ring which displays a lot of features.
Only the poor man needs something to brag about. Much like the uneducated being the ones who demand respect the most. So, hand in hand, goes property and what it displays. Your ring displays a lot.
But that's just my opinion, and my opinion isn't fact. We all see what we see. If you want an example of my point of view from popular culture, it would sort of be the "Lord of the Rings", actual ring, being just an ordinary gold ring with that much power behind it, or more accurately, the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" with the whole Holy Grail topic in the end. The Grail of kings wasn't the one with the jewlery and sparkly **** on it, it was the cup of a carpenter that gave "eternal life".
On another note though, I very much like the choice of your wedding location. Very good choice.
