Girlfriend's friend is pressuring me to get her a promise ring?

My Gf's best friend messaged me and showed me a conversation between her and my GF. Her friend pressured her boyfriend to get her a promise ring after only a month together. Now she showed my GF a picture of a really nice one and my GF said that looks "perfect." Her friend then told her to tell me to get her one. She responded and said she thinks it's weird to say that. She then said "of course it would be super nice and I would love to have one, but I want him to want to give me one without me asking him." I just replied to her friend when she showed me all of this and said "have her tell me haha." and didn't reply again. It's kind of annoying that her friend messaged me this and said, "don't tell her (my GF) that I showed this to you."

Although I've never really thought about the idea of a promise ring before my relationship I do think it's nice. But it's not something I would do until later in in our relationship like 9 months or a year or something. Should I tell my GF that her friend messaged me? Or just leave all of this alone until I'm ready?

We've only been dating two months. I just don't want her friend pressuring me. She's known to do stuff like this in the past.

    Let me tell you from experience promise rings don't and I repeat don't work! let me tell you why, your girlfriend wouldn't want a promise ring you know why because at the end of the day promise rings don't mean anything! an engagement ring would be the ring to get her if and when the timing is right, her friend pressuring you about getting her a promise ring is not okay, you should explain to her that although you really like your girlfriend you are not ready to take that step and she as her friend should understand and respect your decision. Hope this helps.
