not ugly/hideous, who told you it is (ugly/hideous)

talking of a ring, I guess the suggested adjs are appropriate
The items between brackets are optional and may be omitted to read:
''... this is not ugly; who told you it is?''
As this is conversational, grammaticality may not be necessary. So, ''is'', instead of was, should do.
