Would you trade in your engagement ring for an eternity band?

| I lost a baguette in my engagement ring. I have always said I wanted an eternity band. My engagement ring is just has just a carat center stone, round and two baguettes. I am considering trading it in for a 4-5 carat eternity band. Will I regret it? Also, would your husband be upset if you did that? |

I would get another baguette, honestly. If you want an eternity band, suggest it as an anniversary present.
I will probably get an eternity band when I retire and move to the coast, but only because I will give all of my jewelry to my girls at that point and wear a simple eternity band until I croak. |

| No, my husband would kill me. Ask him, if he says no then just replace the bagette. |

| No, because that was the ring that dh was holding when he was on one knee asking me to marry him. |

| Have it set into the eternity band..or ask him. I don't think men car more than the money invested unless it was a family ring |

+1. It is not just a piece of jewelry to me. |

| Yes, in a heartbeat. We've been maried for 14 years and I never wear my engagement ring anymore - just my band. |

I still wear mine every day, along with the matching band. If OP never wears hers, maybe that is a different conversation, but if she lost a stone I'm betting it is because she wears it. My ring sounds similar to hers in size and it isn't too big to wear every day. |

| Eternity bands are typically for anniversaries. If you were going to go this route, could you take your center stone and have it out into a necklace so you would still wear it? |

| I am not sentimental about jewelry- except for my engagement ring and wedding band. It would have to be a situation like me being robbed at gunpoint to willingly let those go. Replace the baguette and get an eternity band for your right hand on your next big anniversary. |

Not a chance, but then I wouldn't walk around with that many carats on my finger, anyway. It says a whole lot about who you are and what you value. I prefer to pass through life making less of a statement.
Just replace the baguette. |

| No way but I will get an eternity band when I hand it over to DS to use as his bride's - was his great grandma's engagement ring. |

| No. Mine has the typical boring diamond (ugh - so overpriced - much prefer sapphires!), but it means so much to me beyond its looks. It means our youth, and its dreams and aspirations. |

No, diamond may fall out of eternity band too.
Reduce your carbon footprint, get a cubic zirconia and call it a day! |

| "Eternity band", WTF? Do you just sit on a couch somewhere, taking in calories, waiting to consume what the next canned marketing schtick tells you to expend money and resources and time on? Lord, is this from the QVC channel or something? Something from the deep burbs? How many months' salary do they tell you to spend on it? Does it go with the Pandora? Take your cash and get the F out of the DC area for God's sake. Maybe even the entire USA. It is depraved, it's gone off the rails completely, there is no hope left at all. |
