Facing a difficult decision at the moment. So after my grandmother whom I was very close to passed away in September, I ended up with her engagement ring. For Christmas, my FI's parents got the ring cleaned up and resized. Luckily it could be resized as the band is quite thin. It's a beautiful ring, yellow gold with a small bezel set diamond and white gold almost Celtic looking inscriptions on the sides. It still needs a bit of work (a small fill with gold to fill in a crack and some gold to build up the shank), but I adore the ring. Now here comes the hard part.
FI and I have spoken in great deal about this. Bottom line: he would have used the ring to propose if he had had it at the time. I love the ring he got me, don't get me wrong, but my grandmother's means so so so much to me. I am considering changing rings. Has anyone ever heard of anyone doing this? FI is 100% in the discussion and just wants me to be happy. He said he will support me if I decide to use my grandmother's ring. If I do do this, I will be keeping my original ring and maybe using it as a necklace or on my other hand or something. My grandmother's ring just doesn't feel right on my right hand. I can't explain why, it just doesn't.
