[quote=Anonymous]Part of the reason I said (earlier PP) that I wouldn't do it and would just buy a new stone is because (1) I've done it, and (2) my DH picked out my engagement ring by himself.

A new side stone for my ring was $1,500, far less than the cost of a 4-5 carat eternity band.  Since my husband picked out the ring himself, there was never a question I would be getting it repaired.

If OP's husband simply said, "Let's pick out a ring.  Here's your budget.  Have at it," then that is an entirely different situation.  If he picked it out or was actively involved in picking it out, I wouldn't even ask to change it.

I did help pick out the ring DH got me after I had our first child.  It is really large, and I get compliments on it all the time.  But, for the pull the heart strings ring, it will always be my engagement ring for me.  I still remember how it looked on my finger so many years ago, and how proud I was of this beautiful ring he picked out.  Someday I will pass that ring and the two matching diamond bands (wedding and anniversary) I have for it to one of my children.  I think it would make a beautiful necklace someday, hopefully a long time from now.  If we got engaged now, he could buy me something much bigger, but I would not love it more.[/quote]
