I have a simple round solitaire that is absolutely gorgeous. round center diamond, and platinum band. We just bought our wedding rings and I got a diamond eternity band. Is it wrong to want diamonds on my engagement band too? I want to keep everything exactly the same but change the band to match the wedding band. Am I being crazy?
Re: how do you feel about an engagement ring upgrade?
Is money a thought for you? You could always update your ring later on (my dad got my mom a whole new set on their 15th anniversary).
I dont think there is anything wrong with wanting an upgrade. Talk to your fi, figure out how he feels about it. If he is okay with it, maybe the upgrade could be an anniversary gift?
H and I have talked and I plan to up grade to a bigger center stone in a few years. Maybe our 5 year anniversary. Or as a push present.
Agreed Maggie!!! Also I don't think it gives you a free pass for the rest of your life....every time we get a snow storm I help my FI shovel because we're a team and the house belongs to both of us so why should it only be his responsibility? Granted I don't have children yet, but I have at least 5 friends who sit inside and "I gave birth- he can shovel!!" Really? You gave birth 4 years ago and you now have a pass at life on being a thoughtful, helping wife? (and I'm not talking about the logistics of leaving kids inside alone, that's fine if that's your excuse but to just flat out say that you won't help because you gave birth...)
For my taste, a plain band on the e-ring with a diamond in the middle goes beautifully with a diamond wedding band. No need for two bands of diamonds.
Be content with what you are given for now.
There is nothing wrong in thinking this. Having both the things in a perfect match will be a beautiful thing to do.
