When Bucco first posted photos of her engagement ring online, the reactions from friends and strangers alike were positive.
After a day, though, Bucco had been inundated with harsh criticisms. Some said the piece looked like a fidget spinner or a can opener. Others questioned if it was even her real engagement ring.
“Some of the comments are so weird,” Bucco said. “They’ll be like, ‘Good luck changing diapers in this!’ and I’m like, ‘OK. I wasn’t planning on changing a diaper anytime soon, or wearing a ring while changing one.'”
In fact, Bucco doesn’t even plan to wear her ring every day.
“People are very concerned that it’s a cocktail ring,” she said, “But it’s just not a concern of mine. Any ring, even a plain band, I wouldn’t wear every day. I don’t like having jewelry on that much.”
Bucco’s most viral posts about her engagement ring have between 3.4 and 6.1 million views each on TikTok. Bucco said the virality — good and bad — has been fun to experience.
