Bizarre engagement ring is mocked on social media for looking like ‘festering boils’ and ‘genital warts’
A QUIRKY engagement ring has been mercilessly mocked by social media users.
The giant sparkler was compared to infected growths and a hernia when it was posted to Facebook group this week.
The piece consists of a pile of gold lumps, which appear to have been almost deliberately placed to look as though they're bulging out of the chunky band.
Each ball has a hole at the top, with pink, purple and pearl gems inserted into them.
To add to the uneven look, the coating has a foil finish.
The person who found the jewel was clearly lost for words - when snaps of it were posted to the group, their caption simply read: "Um."
The post sparked quite a reaction from other Facebook users, quickly racking up hundreds of comments.
And unfortunately for the designer, people weren't particularly kind about the bling.
One group member wrote: "Looks like a cluster of genital warts."
Others said: "Festering boils is what comes to mind," "Kill it before it lays eggs," and: "Mmmm bubonic plague style."
Another added: "What in crustacean is this?? It looks like it belongs under the sea [sic]."
Some commenters said they were struggling to even look at the piece, with messages including: "That thing needs a trigger warning," and: "I can barely look at it."
Quite a few said they were reminded of unpleasant bodily functions.
"I love this genital herpes aesthetic," and: "It looks like an infection," read two messages.
Others shared: "I want to pop those pimples on that ring," and: "Why does it look like a bunch of blisters that are busted?"
Shockingly, the original poster later added: "Wait till y'all hear it costs almost 5K [sic]."
We're not sure how many people will be coughing up.
