“This just blew my mind because… when you are getting engaged, married, whatever it may be, we want big rings. We want the bigger the ring, the more success. [But that’s not what it actually means]… It just blew my mind,” said Lucy K (@its.lucyk), a TikTok influencer with around 5,000 followers. After visiting a local pawn shop in her area, she posted about her experience, garnering 1.6 million views since Oct. 16.
