I love seeing her new rings because I know she didn’t love her original set (long story) and it had been too small for her to wear for many years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812456 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 02:11:36 +0000 Kemma 2812456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I was thinking along the same lines as @youboots: could you find a manufacturing jeweller that could take your existing set and use it to create something new for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812428 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 21:05:38 +0000 lamariniere 2812428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I don't even own an engagement ring/wedding band (my choice), but I would get a new set! People's tastes change, go for something that you love that you will be excited about wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812378 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 16:18:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2812378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: hello sparkler for the right hand! That’s how I wear mine. Wedding bands on the left and eternity on the right. My rings are the only pieces of jewelry I wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812369 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:44:08 +0000 youboots 2812369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: it may be the best if both. In house is key- it makes it much less expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812362 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:36:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2812362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: This is a new jeweler I went to; but good idea about asking to maybe repurpose my original rings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812361 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:33:10 +0000 youboots 2812361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just gone mine sized up but the setting is eternity pave- so a new setting was not cost effective. I’d go see a jeweler that does custom work in house and see what’s possible. My local jeweler is amazing and creative with repurposing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812360 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:30:30 +0000 nana87 2812360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a similar issue, where I think I eventually need to get my e-ring resized since it's tight after pregnancies, and I think I'm going to just get it re-set. For me, my e-ring doesn't go w my wedding band anyway--it's a tension setting that doesn't sit flush, so I'd love to have it re-set so I could wear it together. Besides, the ring was designed by an artist in Germany and when I got it resized after we got it engaged, it got lost in customs for 2 months, and dh understands I don't want to do that again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812349 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 15:10:33 +0000 birdofafeather 2812349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: totally counts and perfect excuse. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812323 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 14:25:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2812323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: In your shoes I'd def keep the original too! My original bands are completely plain and I picked them. </p> <p>@peachykeen: My originals right now are both cut in half with a warped prong so they don't even look great haha! </p> <p>@birdofafeather: Aww, I'm sorry you lost it! It is our 5 year anniversary coming up... Does that count? For our 10 year anniversary we already decided we're going on a big vacation so it's probably gonna be even more expensive than rings haha! </p> <p>@kiddosc: What about wearing the eternity band on the other hand? </p> <p>@looch: My current bands are both completely plain platinum. I'm getting a new set, they'd be like a half eternity probably. And I'd still use my original diamond </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812320 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 14:19:03 +0000 looch 2812320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about making a pendant from the stones, so you can still wear them and then get a new set of rings? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812318 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 14:14:34 +0000 kiddosc 2812318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd keep the originals for sentimental reasons. </p> <p> I mentioned to DH I'd like to get an eternity band for our 10 year anniversary, and we tried one on last time we had my engagement ring inspected. It looks goofy with my wedding band, so I'm rethinking that ask since I'd really be sad to stop wearing my wedding band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812316 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 14:07:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2812316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty attached to my wedding band and DH is rather proud of himself for the stone he picked out for the e-Ring. As much as I would like to have bands that have pave stones on the under side DH did give me an eternity ring that does just that for my right hand. </p> <p>All that to say I'd probably just get my original resized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812309 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:53:25 +0000 birdofafeather 2812309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was picking out something new, I would want it to be “for” something, like an Anniversary, Birthday, something. I like “big” purchases to be attached to something!</p> <p>I haven’t been able to find my wedding band (vintage and didn’t wear with my engagement ring) for 3 months and I’m pretty upset about it because it’s irreplaceable. Not the same, but I don’t think if/when we decide to replace I would get it remade (if I could find photos of it). I would buy a totally new one for an anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812308 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:51:02 +0000 peachykeen 2812308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because I'm emotionally attached to my set, but I also definitely understand the desire to get a new one! I'm not even sure what I would do in this case. I might end up going for something more practical and just saving the originals for sentimental reasons (but mine didn't cost much so selling wouldn't net us much). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812305 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:47:12 +0000 gingerbebe 2812305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd ask my husband how he felt about it, but that's only because he completely picked the stone and setting out himself (I didn't want to be involved at all), and I know he put a lot of time and effort into picking my ring. (To be fair, I picked his wedding ring for him too). </p> <p>In my situation, I'd be more inclined to have my original set fixed and then get a third band as an anniversary band or a band to symbolize my kids. I actually have plans to have one done as a joint 10-year anniversary band/commemorate our kids in a few years (we just celebrated our 7th). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812302 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:29:42 +0000 psw27 2812302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean... If I had the choice for a little upgrade, I might just go ahead and do that! Especially if my existing set needed reconstruction - I wouldn't feel as bad. I'd go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812300 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:28:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2812300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: That's like the only reason. I feel like it's meant to be, haha! If the diamond never even fell out, then I'd eventually probably just resized cause I couldn't justify it to myself lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812294 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:19:57 +0000 ValentineMommy 2812294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you feel a new set is calling, now is the time to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-wedding-ring-set#post-2812290 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:16:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2812290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't 100% decided on what I'd do yet, so I thought it'd be fun to see what you would do in my shoes! </p> <p>After 2 babies, my fingers got ridiculously fat and I never took off my rings so they were stuck. Still, I just kind of ignored it. Well, my diamond fell out of my ring last night (thank goodness it was right there and not lost!). I just went to the jeweler to get them cut off of me. Now I have 2 options.</p> <p>1) Re-use the old set, re-sized obviously, and jeweler will be making a more secure setting</p> <p>2) Get a new set! </p> <p>Money is not a huge issue; I'm not picking anything astronomical. Of course it's less to just re-size/re-set my current set, but I also feel like this is my chance to get a new set haha. I don't not love my original set, but I'm not also so attached to it. Spending more for a new set is clearly calling my name, but I would be okay also to just get my original rings back. But I just feel like with all the work needed to be done on them, I might as well?! </p>
