Ah! So in addition to disappointing Rachel, we learn that Jak is also an idiot, since he bought a diamond online without looking at it in person.
The episode proves that Andy Warhol correctly predicted that eventually everyone in the U.S. would be famous for 15 minutes, and, sadly, there are people like Rachel who think those 15 minutes of cheap fame justify embarrassing loved ones. exploiting a private moment, and looking like a jerk. She tells “People”:
“….she was “so shocked” by the reactions online. “I think the most surprising part is how divided the comments were and how much people were twisting our story,” she shares. “The video is only 16 seconds, and people were creating their own narrative, telling me my fiancé is terrible and doesn’t know me, that I ruined the moment completely and am ungrateful, that I should have accepted the ring and kept my mouth shut…the list goes on and on.”
Yeah, Rachel, that’s because you are asking for clicks and reactions when you post on social media, and the people who said you should have accepted the ring and kept your mouth shut are 100% correct.
Ethics Alarms 
my wife (then fiancée) and I discussed rings and diamonds at one point.
I asked, half jokingly, what she thought of heart-shaped diamonds.
she disapproved; I agreed. I think heart-shaped diamonds are stupid.
unfortunately, I decided I give her a Claddagh ring, a traditional Irish ring that features a heart in the center of its design.
so, I got a heart-shaped diamond I purchased on line and had it placed in a Claddagh designed ring
She loves it, has never complained and remembers our earlier conversation about diamond shapes as an amusing exchange

I thought blue diamonds were rarer that colorless diamonds. I think most people opt for the colorless diamonds but blue diamonds per karat are more valuable if I’m not mistaken.
She should have just graciously accepted the ring as a symbol of his devotion to her. If I had been in his place I would have been quite angry and said flat out, “how could you be so ungrateful?”
I’ve received many gifts from friends and relatives over the years that I didn’t really like or need but out of common courtesy and respect I accepted the gifts and thanked them accordingly. Isn’t that one of those unwritten social rules? It should hold even more weight for something as important as a marriage proposal.
In addition to not knowing how to spell “Jack,” Jak is doomed. He’ll have a ring through his nose before he knows it…
I have a terrific ability of ignoring things that simply do not interest me at all. This supposed story doesn’t even rate on the Ignore It Scale.

Truly shallow, mundane couple issue that was made unnecessarily “newsworthy” by her posting it on social media. Her complaints about the comments are disingenuous at best and stupidly attention-obsessed at worst.
