Traditionally, an engagement ring will include a platinum, rose gold or even gold cut.
But more often than not, many of us will go for unusual or sentimental rings.
However, one woman’s sentimental bling sparked a huge reaction after she shared it online.
Posting on the That’s It I’m Ring Shaming Facebook group, the woman revealed her boyfriend of 13 years got down on one knee.
“I requested a black ring in memory of our black python, Onyx”

She told online users how the couple have eight children together – all under the age of nine.
The woman told how her fiancé popped the question with a 0.5 carat “dragon glass stone” ring with a tungsten carbide band.
However, not everyone was on board when she revealed the inspiration behind the ring came from her dead pet snake, Onyx.
She said: “I requested a black ring in memory of our black python, Onyx, who drowned last summer in the lake behind our house (or swam away, we’re not sure).”
The engagement had been a long time coming, after her partner lost his job seven years ago, but recently found work as a CEO.
“He finally got a job recently as a CEO of a catering company and with his first pay cheque bought me this beauty,” she added.
She continued: “I am absolutely in love with it, do your worst!!!”
But when she shared an image of the sparkler, people questioned her story, particularly the part about the reptile.
In the post, which secured hundreds of comments, one wrote: “I feel like another live black python wrapper around your finger named Onyx 2.0 would look better than this marble chip ring that looks like a child made with a melt-metal kit.”
Another added: “Black python? Some kind of ball python morph. Or the fakest story ever told on this page.”
However, one Facebook user didn’t seem so phased about it, adding: “I think it’s sweet that you want the ring in memory of your snake.
“I’m so sorry he drowned, that’s horrible.”
