Could you later change your wedding/ engagement ring/ rings?

Question

For my own self, I could not change the set that my husband first gave me. At least, I don't think so or not now anyway. It is too sentimental and filled with memories, even if it was not my exact taste. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my rings, but I have friends that don't like theirs and talk about changing it.

How about you? Is it just a ring? Can/ Would/ Did you later change it?

My mom did! She stated "Wait until you're married for 35 years, you might be over the sentiment too." LOL!

Answer 1

gracious no!



I can't even send back food when its not cooked well. I absolutely hate offending anyone or making someone feel badly for something they did or a decision they made.



If I didn't like my wedding rings, well tough. They were gifts and bought with love and affection. And if someone spent their time, effort, money and love picking out something for me there is no way I would ever think to take it back EVEN if I didn't care for it. The thing is....I WOULD love it.......because it was from the man I love.



I can't fathom feeling entitled as a woman to have this choice. It's a gift. If your fiance/husband offered for you to go with him to pick it out.....that is a whole other situation. But even then......you shouldn't take it back. It was picked out together. And we all do so few things "together" anymore.......don't take that memory away.



Ok I'm babbling.......enough!



The answer is.....No.....I wouldn't

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with upgrading what you have, I think a lot of newlyweds don't need to spend that much money on an expensive set but may choose to later. But of course the original one will be kept forever while the replacement is just something nice to wear and actually will keep you from ruining the one with the real sentimental value.

Answer 4

I'm really sentimental and kept my old set to give my daughter. I remember swearing when I first got married that I'd never even take it off once he put it on. I've since been married 20 years and have realized that it's just a ring. Whether it's off or on, I'm still just as married and in love with him. It's just a ring.

Answer 5

I would defintely keep my first set of rings , those you can never replace. But if you feel like getting something different I don't see a problem with that. My husband is great and he actually wanted to get me something bigger and ofcourse I didn't argue that. When we were married he could only afford a gold wedding band, which was pretty hefty, but now I have my complete set and I love it. I hope this helped.

Answer 6

I love my engagement and wedding rings, and I couldn't imagine ever trading them. I think that's what anniversary bands are for, though -- to give the woman some variety! :) Especially if she wants an "upgrade." She could get a glitzy eternity band, and wear it with her original engagement ring, or wear it on her right hand, or some days, wear it in place of her old wedding band. I think as long as the original set is kept and treasured, it's OK to get "supplements." :)

Answer 7

Yes, just buy a pair everytime and let him put your ring and vice versa. That could keep the love going and the sentiments thereof.

Answer 8

I lost mine and he can't wear his, so I would be ok with changing. Otherwise, I think I would not be able to. But ours will be the same ones, just platinum, if the jeweler still exists.
