why does a guy need a $500 ring
What's wrong with a relatively inexpensive ring?
It's a nice "token of affection."
OP, she looks like an expensive girl to keep.
If she buys you a $500 gift, you're probably NOT gonna get away with only spending $200 on her...
How about this...tell her that you'd rather she return the ring and you combine your $$$ for a nice weekend vacation instead.
Since it didn't fit you anyway...rather than having it sized (which may or may not work) just get a refund and go somewhere romantic and have a great time together.

Ok, here's my take, and I want you to pay attention. For one, this is important...for two, I'm tired and sick, so I'm going out of my way trying to help you. First things first. Look at what you wrote. Unless you are both rich or something, girls don't give beautiful $500 rings to just any guy, even their boyfriend. I'd agree that she was pretty much saying she thinks you're super ultra nifty keen. Details are scarce, but we might be talking true love here. Take that seriously. Now, you didn't say, I love her so much, or I want us to be together forever, or I'm her Jack and she's my Rose. You said she's a beautiful girl and you want to get her something nice. That's not a very strong statement, to put it mildly. How into her are you? How into "us" are you? If you're head over heels for her (as she seems to possibly be for you), then you could stand to express it more freely. But if you're not... ...and this is where it starts to be less fun... You need to do some thinking before you accept such a massive and beautiful gift. This ring might be a symbol of how she feels about you, and if you accept it, she might take that as committing to her to a degree you aren't ready for. You've suddenly found yourself in a tricky situation, and there isn't enough information here to give you really awesome personalized advice. This may be a fork in the road for her...if you do care about her (and you should, whether you want to marry her or not), you need to think about which fork you want to walk down. Or it could just be a nice ring with not much else attached. That aside... The best gifts are personal ones. I don't mean monogrammed, but well-chosen. Example: I once took my then-GF (a professor type) to the nearest big city, 120 miles away, for her birthday, when I still celebrated them. We went to the zoo, 3 museums, a nerdy gamer store, etc. It was real quality time, because I really loved her, and she could feel it. She later told me it was not only her best birthday, but the best day of her entire life. Even though she paid for part of it, because I was poor. Another example: my mom is a big Denver Broncos fan, but it's not necessarily cool to get just anything with a Broncos logo on it. Anyone could do that. I spent a decent amount of time on eBay and found a brand new hat that had supposedly been in a warehouse since the 1960s. It had the original Broncos logo on it, which is hard to find nowadays. It wasn't just a piece of mass merch anymore...it was special. Not really because it was old and unique, but because I had put work into finding something unusual for her. Make sense? And just in case you're hopelessly clueless, ignore the vacuum cleaner / tools / computer parts advice. They're just kidding. Although there are a few nrrd grrls who would consider a new video card a great gift... Speaking of unusual, I'm going to close by quoting a country song as advice. I'm pretty sure that has never happened before, but it seems appropriate. Here's the chorus of a classic by the Judds. They're both women, so take it to heart. Give a little love, yeah, a squeeze and a little kiss Give a little hug, mmmm, I want some more of this Take a little time, yeah, and make a little fuss That's what a woman wants...so give a little love
Thanks. Im gonna focus on just like you said, doing/buying something special that took time and care of picking out. but as far as materialism goes, should it be jewelry, a weekend, or what?
And I believe the ring is more of a symbol: "Remember me, I love you"
