A little bit of history....I reconnected with my boyfriend after many years and we just knew it was right! We have been dating for about a year and we've known that we will get married for about 6-8 months now but we are not yet engaged. Money is tight but we are making it just fine. It's just not in our budget to buy a ring...or one that he feels I deserve.
My mother passed away a few years ago and being the only daughter, I have all of her jewelry. There are rings that belonged to her that I have that I will never wear in the setting that they are in. And yes, they are diamonds. He has no problem using the stones for my ring and keeping them in the family, etc. I'm just not sure about it. I know that I love this man and want to be married to him. Does it matter that he uses MY mother's diamond for my ring? How would other people look at this?
