Amanda Seyfried debuts her engagement ring and it's not what you would expect

Amanda Seyfried got engaged to fellow actor Thomas Sadoski a short while back, but this is her ring's red carpet debut

Thomas Sadoski and Amanda Seyfried have been going out for about six months, and he reportedly popped the question back in late summer. Amanda has been staying low key, but eagle-eyed ring watchers have managed to get some sneaky pics. And mean, petty criticism has followed.

Amanda's engagement ring has surprised people because it's not a huge rock. It's an elegant band, which presumably suits her personality and style. Because that's what it's all about. Your ring doesn't have to be a massive diamond just because you're engaged.

Sparklers like this one (the most popular on the internet) are obviously gorgeous. But, it's about taste, and if that's not you, then that's a-ok.

Engagement rings come in all shapes, sizes, colours and styles and should suit the wearer's tastes, not the casual observer's.

Amanda wears it with pride, and that's all that matters.

Do you think engagement rings have to be bling-tastic? Or would a more modest version suit you just fine?
