I really, really doubt I will ever have mine changed. DH is super sentimental about it and would be crushed if I had it changed. Luckily he sussed out what type of rings I liked before he picked it out. </p> <p>Mine is a plain solitaire and plain white gold band. One advantage of being really, really old when you get married is that your tastes are pretty much set so I imagine I will be happy with it for the rest of my life.</p> <p>If we have another baby I really want an eternity band as a push present. Unfortunately DH is really obtuse about that sort of thing and I feel like if I have to tell him it isn't the same. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94791 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:41:15 +0000 anewme 94791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my e ring reset as a surprise! I always felt so guilty about it because I thought it was bad to change something gifted to you that supposed to carry so much meaning. I had no idea so many ppl do it or thing about having it done! </p> <p>I love the way it is now and don't plan on changing it, but this year is our 5th anniversary DH is going to to get me a completely new ring. My ring now is a solitaire with long begets to the sde and round begets that surround the sides of the band. I've been lusting over a cushion cut with a halo settings forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94517 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:48:07 +0000 stiffaknee 94517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't upgraded my setting...yet. Currently I have the basic (aka free) 4 prong tiffany setting/round solitaire. I told Husband to focus on getting the best (biggest...i know that sounds terribly vain. im sorry) diamond he could and we could talk setting later. I have my eye on the Michael B. Princess Petite setting. </p> <p>We did the same thing with my band...I told Husband that i really wanted an eternity band, but since they were so pricey (and we knew we were going to upgrade the setting eventually) we had my Grandmother's wedding band (its been in my family since 1872) dipped and used that instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94468 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:14:21 +0000 mrs. wagon 94468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: ooh that sounds so pretty!! I'd love to see a pic... and I'd love to see your dress too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94467 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:13:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 94467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: hehe yeah... honestly if I can do it anyone can. WW is the only thing that has ever helped me lose more than 5 lbs. I lost 25 in about 6 months. </p> <p>I tried to go back before getting pregnant this time, but I figured it wouldn't be worth it if I was just gonna be pregnant again. So I'm just watching my weight gain and after delivery I'll start WW again then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94464 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:12:42 +0000 ecogirl 94464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MrsWagon I got mine reset last year with rubies in the side stones instead of the diamonds and then had the diamonds reset into earrings. I love the look of rubies and diamonds! I also got my gown at a consignment shop for $300! :)</p> <p>Yoursilverlining I love rose gold! It is so beautiful! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94458 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:10:10 +0000 chopsuey 94458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I'd love to drop 25 lbs! Will do WW when I'm done having babies too :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94453 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:08:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 94453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: that sounds gorgeous!! Now you have me thinking about mixing metals...</p> <p>@tequiero21: yay 7 years! and twins on the way.... so exciting!!</p> <p>@banana: hehe I'm a diamond-a-holic too. I like to joke about the thousands of dollars of diamonds i wear every day... lol. I wear my diamond studs, my 3 rings, and my solitaire pendant every day. I'd love a tennis bracelet too!</p> <p>@chopsuey119: thank you!! Weight Watchers TOTALLY works. Unfortunately I put most back on and of course now I'm post baby... but I'm totally going back to WW after the baby is born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94442 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:01:50 +0000 chopsuey 94442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: DANG! 25lbs is intense!! Beautiful dress and beautiful you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94277 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:03:11 +0000 banana 94277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I totally want to re-set mine! I"m dying to actually. I'm always looking for pictures of new settings and for some reason can't seem to find the right one. Right now, it's just a diamond on a 5-prong platinum setting. I like it because it's super simple. But now I kind of want something more blingy! My wedding band is an eternity band with tiny diamonds all around and I love it. I just want something more blinged out for my engagement ring. But I also want a diamond tennis bracelet too. And diamond studs for my ears. I love diamonds!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-94073 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:06:10 +0000 looch 94073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only reset a pair of earrings. I would like to get another ring at 10 years, not sure what though. I like sapphires a lot, so I was thinking something with a center stone in sapphire and diamonds around it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93983 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 12:16:55 +0000 tequiero21 93983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you're so funny! nope, never reset the diamond. i have a solitaire for engagement ring and and a 5-stone for wedding band. don't plan to reset ever. i love the classic/vintage looking rings but i don't want to spend more money on expensive jewelry. so i'm keeping what i got!</p> <p>it'll be our 7th anniversary too! in may. i think it's a nice idea to get the hubby a new ring, but he barely wears his current one so scratch that idea. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93972 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 12:03:17 +0000 Boogs 93972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never reset my ring and probably won't because the setting it quite expensive and intricate. I would love to upgrade the center stone one day just because I love huge rocks, but hubby thinks it's silly, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93950 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:34:03 +0000 Rubies 93950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely want to get my engagement ring reset. The whole ring situation was a disaster (the jeweler who made it was a total jerk and we were extremely disappointed with the result). I haven't asked the hubs yet but I for sure see it in our near future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93948 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:29:55 +0000 heffalump 93948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I love the tradition of passing down the ring... I just hope LO likes it! If she wants something more modern, I'll make my mom pass down her ring that she said I'll get when she passes away. But I hope she wants my ring :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93945 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:28:06 +0000 birdieputt 93945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: if you're worried about losing your diamond, you can always get it insured. I insured my engagement ring thru Chubb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93936 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:19:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 93936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reset my e-ring. My husband and I had never talked about marriage, let alone rings (and I had never looked for rings online, or sent him any styles, etc.) before he proposed, and although the ring he picked was lovely, it wasn’t *me*. I’m not sentimental about jewelry and since it’s the only piece I will wear every day for the rest of my life, figured it should be something I really, really loved for it’s own merits!</p> <p>It was a yellow gold solitaire diamond which I had reset into a rose gold halo because I always wanted a rose gold ring.</p> <p>I'd love to get a rose gold eternity diamond ring for an anniversary gift/push present/bday gift this year, but we'll see! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93931 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:11:32 +0000 autumnlove 93931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eventually want to change my engagement solitaire from a 4 prong to a 6 prong setting. We were going to get it done before our wedding but we found out about LO and our priorities changed! Maybe for an anniversary gift in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93928 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:00:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 93928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha yeah, he likes wearing his ring but when he does work out he has to take it off. He also gets a huge callus on his hand right under the ring all the time! Drives him crazy, but not enough to not wear a ring. I always tell him he's required to wear it all the time because he looks so young and is so outgoing/charming... don't want any women thinking my man is up for grabs!!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I love the idea of a backyard renewal! I definitely want the actual vows to be really intimate.. just the two of us, maybe our pastor, and our kids. But I'd love for it to be on an island or cruise ship somewhere with a handful of our closest friends so we can party! :)</p> <p>@chopsuey119: Here's a pic of me in mine... keep in mind this was a year after the wedding! We took portraits for our 1 year anniversary because I had lost 25 lbs!</p> <p><a href="http://images45.fotki.com/v1200/photos/5/57184/4334545/_MG_0691_01-vi.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images45.fotki.com/v1200/photos/5/57184/4334545/_MG_0691_01-vi.jpg</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93923 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:53:30 +0000 chopsuey 93923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yay! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93922 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:53:12 +0000 Andrea 93922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: i can email you a pic when i get a chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93920 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:52:25 +0000 chopsuey 93920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: @Andrea: I wanna see you girls in your wedding dresses!!! I ended up renting mine! It's a popular thing to do in CA. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93919 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:51:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 93919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: i totally want to do a vow renewal, but really casual like in a backyard. only 3 more years to go til our 10 year anniversary. by then charlie will be 5 and olive will be 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93918 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:51:05 +0000 chopsuey 93918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I knooooow.. it's a shame we live so far apart...!! Dang. I would love to have a new setting on my finger every few months. I've always envied jeweler's wives. -.- :)<br /> Sometimes I miss my 3 stone, and I'll probably miss my simple solitaire, but I'm all about being satisfied and completely in love with my ring too!<br /> Hope you find something you ADORE! I think it'd be nice getting Rob a ring too! Does he like wearing his band? All the guys I know hate wearing rings. HAHA. DH ended up getting a tattoo on his ring finger. Makes his life easier since he works out.. plus, it's permanent! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93917 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:50:55 +0000 Andrea 93917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: i tried to clean it but it was raining buckets all that week and there was mud all over the bottom which they couldn't get out. shame!! oh well, can't wait for dress up day, too. love having a girl to do these things with. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93916 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:47:13 +0000 mrs. wagon 93916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that's awesome! At the very least she will love trying it on. I saved my dress for just that purpose... it will be a fun dress-up activity to try and get it on! I guarantee she won't want to use it though... the material is just so cheap (even the beading) and I didn't clean or preserve it. I think there's a huge oil stain somewhere on the skirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93915 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:45:46 +0000 Andrea 93915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: i bought a vera wang and i saved it in hopes that i would have a daughter. so now i do and i hope she can use it in some way for her wedding. it would be a shame to cut up a vera wang but i'll let her do it if she wants since there is no other point to it now. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93914 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:43:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 93914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I would NOT be surprised! ;) </p> <p>I am excited at the thought of a renewal though, since my wedding dress was a huge princess dress that cost $600. Oh polyester satin. I would absolutely love to save up enough to go somewhere like Kleinfeld's and buy a really beautiful designer gown. ...and then sell it on preownedweddingdresses.com. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93912 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:41:08 +0000 Andrea 93912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: maybe you'll want to reset it again by the time of your vow renewal. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-re-set-their-engagement-ring#post-93911 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:40:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 93911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: that is actually a fantastic idea, the mossanite. A friend of ours got a copy of a Tiffany Legacy setting made with a HUGE mossanite stone and it is GORGEOUS. I do have a heart attack every time I leave my ring off for whatever reason, so that peace of mind would be nice. </p>
