[quote=Anonymous]My husband was a very confused graduate student when the time came and picked out a diamond band (ie a wedding band) at a going out of business sale. So for months I wore a wedding band as my engagement ring and then we went shopping together to pick out our wedding bands, but for me picked out something that looks more like a traditional engagement ring. I like tradition and didn’t want a new diamond (because of conflict) so we shopped the estate sale section of a jewelry store and found a ring that looked like it could have been made to go with my band and didn’t need to be sized! Each ring cost in the range of $700. I had one tacky boss once ask why I don’t have a bigger ring and I said “because this is my style, and is what he picked out for me / what we said our vows with”. Otherwise no one has ever asked. When we first got engaged he said I could upgrade them someday, but I can’t imagine wanting to do that. My parents just celebrated 50 years and my mom said she doesn’t really wear her ring anymore and my dad gave her a different ring anyway and offered me hers. But I just feel like my simple rings are very fitting to who I am and have the connection to that time in our lives that an “upgrade” would not. Frankly during the pandemic I’ve often forgotten to put my rings on (they were part of my leaving the house routine) so I’m often ringless. (We’ve been married about 13 years)[/quote]
