A strange-looking engagement ring has gone viral on social media, with many horrified people comparing it to "genital warts" and the "Black Plague".
A photo of the jewellery was shared in the "That's it, I'm ring shaming" Facebook group.
The ring features a cluster of pink and purple gems protruding out of a bulbous foiled gold setting.
!["Is this the Black Plague?" asked one Facebook user. Photo / Facebook](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/VKRRVJYB4CMOJMSYWK5X6L7FB4.jpg?auth=442ffde2fa337236b72d35d524871165076e42e6ca1d135bf346ff43e8fcc942&width=16&height=16&quality=70&smart=true)
Facebook users took to commenting to compare the design to "festering boils".
