Would you ever....
upgrade or get a new wedding set?
I was reading a poll on the F&B board asking if you would ever upgrade or get wedding set. I was shocked at how many people said they would and they did not have sentimental attachment and just considered it a piece of jewlery.
I know for me personally I would not. DH picked out the setting I loved and really did his homework on diamonds and picked out a diamond that sparkles and is of high quality. I am sentimentally attached to the ring and I love the ring!
DH and I both agreed that on our 5 year anniversary he will get me another wedding band to put on the other side of the ring.
Who let the dawgs out?
Re: Would you ever....
No I couldn't ever upgrade. DH totally spoiled me with a ring that he should not have. I can't imagine anything more "upgraded" haha not that I have anything super huge but I can't imagine anything bigger for me.
My band belonged to my grandmother so I will not be switching that out. I would not mind an anniversary ring of some sort down the road but could never imagine replacing my wedding set.
eta: I agree with the sentimental purposes I also have too many good memories with my set.

I don't think I would upgrade, but I wouldn't be opposed to adding more bling to my ring finger! lol
I would. DH didnt pick anything out himself. He talked to a jeweler on the phone (a friend of DH used this jeweler so he knew he was good).
It wasn't what I had wanted so I will definitely upgrade/get a new setting one day.
I already got another band for our 1 year anniversary to put on the other side of the ring.
Baby #2 - D&E - 10/1/10 @ 19w2d - thanatophoric dysplasia confirmed.
Charlotte Lillian will be forever in our hearts.
Baby #3 - Little Bean - natural miscarriage - 1/17/11 @ 5w5d
i don't think so. i have a lot of sentimental value in mine as well. i'm not a jewelry person at all. dh got just what i wanted. a simple, silver band with a princess cut diamond. my wedding ring is a small band with little diamonds along the front.
i have seen a few friends' rings since we got married that I like, but most are what I'd consider to be trendy. I think mine is simple and I'll always love it.
we had friends where the girl asked him to buy her a bigger, more expensive one like a month after they got engaged. geeez...
oh, sil recently changed hers up. she got married in the early 90s when gold jewelry was all the rage. she just had to swap it over to silver. I think she got a few new diamonds on there, but the main reason for the upgrade was to get rid of the gold.
Nope, I wouldn't get a new set or upgrade. DH did an amazing job picking out my set and it's exactly what I would have chosen on my own. It's so special to me that he picked it out and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Like everyone else, I would also like another band for the other side of my ring. I'm hoping it will be a "push present" for when we have a baby one day. :-)
Yes and no. My e-ring and band both have rough edges that could scratch the baby, so I probably won't wear them unless I'm out somewhere the next few months. But, they are beautiful, he chose them all by himself, and they don't look like any of my friends' rings.
My mom quit wearing her rings when I was a baby for the same reason. She just wore a plain band for a long time, unless she was going somewhere fancy or to church. For their 20th anniversary, dad gave her an anniversary ring that she wears for day to day now.
I love the ring DH proposed to me with (although when I had it sized down they changed the band somehow so its no the same-even though the jeweler says it is). And, the wedding band- love it too but it scratches my engagement ring prongs so I cant wear them together.
I dont want to get new rings, especially not the wedding band but I think it's inevitable for me
Im sentimental too, and dont want to upgrade ever.
What's a push present?
LOL. it's a 'you pushed out my child now here's some new bling' present.
Oh wow...how do men know to do this?! Unless they are told one expects it. My DH would laugh in my face if I told him this.
I guess their wives tell them. I think they are becoming popular in some areas, so maybe they would know about it before. I only know about it from the bump.
Interesting...
Never. I love my set and I'm too sentimental.
DH once suggested we might trade mine in someday, and I nearly fell out right there in the jewelry store. I love jewelry, and he knows he's welcome to add to my bling collection, but my wedding set isn't going anywhere.
