Not upgrading, though I do wish DH had picked out white gold or platinum instead of yellow gold. I hate yellow gold but I love DH.
I'm not a jeweler, but it might be possible to have it plated over. I don't consider that upgrading, merely correcting a color preference. Just a thought.

1.5ct center stone with .75 ct stones on either side.
Will not upgrade. One of the side stones is a family heirloom from my side and there are 2 tiny diamonds on the inside of the band that were from my MILs engagement ring. DH designed it and it's very very special to me.

It's a pearl, with two small circle-shaped hammered silver rings that I wear as 'wedding bands' on either side of it.
I was 25, he was 26.
I picked it out after his choice arrived and looked more like a molar than the pearl in the picture. I think it cost $110 total. Because pearls degrade over time, I bought a set of matching pearl earrings from the same jeweler that are well cared for/ seldom worn that will be my 'heirlooms' to pass down.
If my pearl becomes totally misshapen I can see paying to have it replaced, but not as an 'upgrade'.

It's not a diamond, it's a family ring.
WHAT?! Upgrade what?

One carat center stone of very high quality with half carat on either side. I love it and I wear it all the time. It's very tasteful and I would never ever upgrade it. DH picked out the most perfect setting.

How many carats was the ring?
Did you upgrade? Why?
I was 29 he was 33. It is a ruby with two smaller diamonds on either side. It was a ring I wanted for a long time that I had planned on purchasing myself for myself.
Never thought about no need an "upgrade".

I was 24 and my ring was 1 carat center stone with baguettes on the sides. A little over a year ago, just before our 20th anniversary, one of the baguettes was lost. It was going to cost $700 to replace and otherwise repair the ring, so I went ahead and upgraded the mounting and it now matches my anniversary band (my wedding set was yellow gold and the anniversary band was platinum).
