It does bother me. I'm not that kind of person that makes comments like this.
It does bother you. If it didn't you wouldn't be posting about on an internet forum.
The advice you were given was spot on...don't make this more than it is. You can either ignore the comment and take it as a compliment or you can confront the person and make your work life awkward...choice is yours.
Suburban_guy does have a good point...and let's see how far this thread goes.
I've only been at my job for a few months. So I'm still getting to know many of my colleagues. The other day I overheard one of them make a comment about my engagement ring. She whispered "Did you see that ring? I bet her husband had to sell his kidney to afford that". You could say it made me uncomfortable. I can hear everything so when people think they're whispering I can usually understand what they're saying. Now every time I'm around this woman I catch her staring at my hand. The next time I catch her should I say something?
Ask her if she is married and when she says no tell her " I bet you wish you had a ring like mine".

I'd ignore it. I hear comments from coworkers (male and female alike) about another (married) colleague's 2-carat diamond ring.
That's the mildest thing they say about her. They comment about her cold sores, her body, the way she walks, the way she talks, her hair, etc. They call her "bossy" and "stupid" (she is neither).
It's disgusting actually...the way they talk about her. It makes me sick. I don't have any issues with her at all.
So if that's ALL they're saying about you, chalk it up to envy and move on.
Yeah, say "Thank you !" She just paid you a huge compliment and you should be proud of the fact your ring is so nice.
Better than her saying your ring looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box.
Better than saying it was a "canhardly".
