Want badly to reset it! Would get rid of sapphires and go all diamond, in white gold. I like the cool warmth. Have a princess cut but no, would not buy it today. Would go with round because it sparkles more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731787 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:51:16 +0000 Lisa 731787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White gold band with channel set diamonds halfway around.

I have considered a new ring to alternate with my current one. We have been married 18 years and I was thinking another ring could be a lovely 20th aniversary gift:) If I were to do this, I would want something non-weddingish and quite different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731148 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:02:00 +0000 Krista 731148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear both an engagement ring and a wedding ring - they are not from a matching set but they go together very nicely! They are both white gold. My engagement ring is a princess cut solitaire diamond and my wedding ring has a row of small inset diamonds on the front.</p> <p>We were not actually "together" when my husband purchased the ring (on a break!) and we were not even living in the same province. In any case, he proposed when I went out to visit him at Christmas. He designed the engagement ring himself, even choosing a Canadian diamond, and had it made by a jeweler. My wedding band was chosen by both of us.</p> <p>I have absolutely no regrets when it comes to my rings. They suit me, the size of my hand and my style perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731127 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:44:01 +0000 Anonymous 731127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun question. Our original wedding bands were made for us with mixed silver and gold. They actually wore out. (We've been married over 40 years). I now have a gold diamond solitiare that I wear with a plain gold band on each side of it. I love the look and wouldn't want anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731120 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:39:59 +0000 Echo 731120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and exciting thread for me, as I have an upgrade that's been ordered and is due to arrive October 18th! </p> <p>We had talked about marriage and went looking at rings when we were dating. At the time, neither of us had any money, and the price of rings just horrified me. I chose a small diamond flanked by rubies set in yellow gold with a plain gold wedding band. DH chose a yellow gold ring with a little swish of white gold and three tiny diamonds set diagonally in it. It is hard to say whether I would choose it again, as it was mostly chosen for price at the time, and neither of us knew the first thing about jewelry or diamonds. I don't regret it, though, as I was interested in the man and not the ring!</p> <p>So 15 years later we are ordering a new ring. It will be a simple cathedral setting in yellow gold with a diamond solitaire. I will wear it with my plain gold wedding band and the channel-set diamond anniversary band I received on our 10th anniversary. In the future, we will purchase shared prong set diamond bands to wear on either side of the solitaire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731111 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:31:43 +0000 Kathleen M 731111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! And yes, I would definitely choose it again, but it's only been a year, so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731106 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:28:00 +0000 Kathleen M 731106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plain yellow gold band (engraved with our initials and the date inside). I wear it with my yellow gold diamond solitaire engagement ring. We chose our wedding rings together. My husband's has milgrain edging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731100 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:18:57 +0000 velvetychocolate 731100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Platinum band and platinum and diamond engagement ring. I wear them both every single day, and only take them off for "icky" chores, and when I take them off - we have a tradition where my husband gets down on his knee and proposes to me all over again, usually with a wagging, wiggly black lab in the middle of it all </p> <p>Same goes if my husband takes his platinum wedding band off for some reason - we don't just put them back on again, but wait until we see each other again, and I will get down on one knee and "propose" to my husband if for some reason he had to take his wedding ring off. So the gist is that we don't put our own rings back on ourselves, rather - the other person 'proposes' all over again. Kind of silly, but it sure brings a lot of joy and fun into things, especially with a giant black lab doggie that somehow insists on being in the middle of it all and being part of the "proposal". It's very cute - one of us is on their knees with a giant black lab right there, both looking up at the ring-less person with googly eyes. </p> <p>The engagement ring has a centre stone that is round/brilliant cut, and it is flanked by two pear shaped diamonds on either side - with the skinny/pointy ends of the pear-cut diamonds at the outer edge. It looks a little bit like a flower in a way. My husband designed the ring himself and went and bought diamonds from a diamond dealer and hired a goldsmith to custom-make the ring. I bought the wedding bands - just simple "half-round" wedding bands, I think they were called "comfort fit" or "comfort band" or something along those lines. No hard edges and feel very comfortable on. </p> <p>I'd feel naked without my wedding band and engagement ring. The band I have doesn't match the engagement ring perfectly, but I can't imagine a different band. I want the one that was put on my finger on my wedding day. </p> <p>This isn't to say that I wouldn't love to have another ring of some kind - but I'd never take off my original wedding band or engagement ring, unless for some 'icky' chore (as mentioned). I've also never put my own rings back onto my own finger. Neither has my husband. Just this thing we do with each other. As in just checking to see if we'd still marry each other all over again. </p> <p>Of course, the dog has to be part of it all too. Thinks it's some really big deal and sits right next to the person who is having to do the proposing/replacing ring thing, while leaning the entire weight of his body on said 'proposer'. </p> <p>Yeah, I know - we're pretty silly - but it makes us happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-731076 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:33:31 +0000 Keix 731076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such an interesting thread, although I'm years away from being married myself. My parents don't have a wedding ring tradition, but my dad bought a simple gold band some years back because he kept getting questions at work about why he was married but not wearing a ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey/page/2#post-730871 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:19:44 +0000 D'Ellen 730871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband and I have matching plain yellow gold bands that we chose together, with an engraving on the inside of the band. I didn't have an engagement ring but I used to wear, with the wedding ring, a jade ring that my husband gave me while we were dating. The two rings looked unusual and perfect together. The jade ring is now in a box waiting for the loose stone to be reset.

I'm not a diamond person (I know!). We picked it together. I love it &amp; would choose it again. I have a funny story about it. When we moved about 15 years ago I lost the ring - I had no idea where. I felt too bad about it took look for a replacement. A year later I was replanting some lilac bushes that we had brought with us - I'd planted them in the wrong spot &amp; they weren't doing well. Guess what I found in amongst the roots of one of the bushes? Yes the ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey#post-730756 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:24:04 +0000 RoseandJoan 730756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have loved seeing this thread, such fun.</p> <p>DH popped the question on Christmas Day 2002 with a simple solitaire set in 18ct yellow gold band and held in place with eight rhodium plated prongs.</p> <p>The wedding band was hand made in Covent Garden and is a mixture of yellow, rose and white 18ct gold. </p> <p>We added the modest eternity band a year after our wedding.</p> <p>I would not change my rings for the world but they do need a blinkin' good clean.

The engagement ring was a modest white gold solitaire. I'm left handed and have issues comfortably wearing a lot of rings on my left hand because of the peculiar way I write--- so right away the ring was uncomfortable and the stock sizing and high setting only made it more so. It was also disappointing because he'd asked for my input and I'd explained that I'd wouldn't be able to wear something to work where any stones stuck up high off my finger and could scratch and snag things or puncture gloves. </p> <p>In the future I'm not sure I'll ever be engaged again or married. If I am, the ring/s aren't terribly important to me, and I honestly don't know how much wear they would see depending on comfort level and the style/setting because of work and spending much of my other time either at home or in outdoors pursuits. I do like the look of various styles of rings, especially worn as an everyday piece with a watch and/or studs, but don't know that I could ever personally justify the price especially since there is a good chance I wouldn't wear anything on many occasions for comfort or practical reasons. </p> <p> I've often thought I'd rather have to money to put towards a home or car or trip or even camera equipment. I do have family diamonds that could be reset affordably, either choosing just one and having it set in a "glove safe" setting, or setting them back together again (two different rings that a family member had reset in a pendant I don't and won't ever wear) with the realization that it would have to be an occasional piece of jewelry. </p> <p>Of course, if a SO bought me a ring I'd accept it graciously, but would hope that it was something I could comfortably wear to work or that they were accepting of me only wearing it sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey#post-730657 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:56:30 +0000 Louise 730657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a wedding ring yet just an engagement ring.<br /> 1) It's Gold<br /> 2) It's a curved wishbone, channel set with 9 teeny Diamonds<br /> 3) I chose it BF knows what a fussy mare I am!!<br /> 4) Yes I'd choose it again, I very often get bored with things quite quick but I still love my ring even 10 years on x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey#post-730627 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:29:06 +0000 MsMary 730627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is two-tone white and yellow gold<br /> Four small diamonds<br /> Chose it together, and therein lies a tale:</p> <p>Hubby and i had been dating for several years, and talking about marriage on and off. One day I was volunteering at the local food pantry and picked up a nail in my tire in parking lot of the food pantry, which until recently had been a Home Depot store. We went to Costco to get a new tire, and while we were waiting for it to be installed, we did a lap around the warehouse, including the jewelry case. </p> <p>Lo and behold, there was a lovely set of his-and-hers wedding bands, exactly fitting the description of what we said we would like if/when we ever got married! Our rule for shopping at Costco is "buy it when you see it, because it may never be there again," so we bought the matching rings "just in case." Then a few days later we found ourselves at a local jewelry store having an engagement ring made to match the wedding band, again "just in case." And a few weeks after that, he popped the question! Big fun!!</p> <p>And yes, I would choose it again! I love my rings! I usually only wear both of them when I am out and about, but I wear my wedding band all the time except when I am sleeping or bathing. (I used to wear it 24/7 but a few years ago I got a nasty case of exzema on that finger so now I take my ring off and let my finger "breathe" at night! Seems to keep the rashies and itchies away!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey#post-730584 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:59:06 +0000 Susie 730584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Platinum<br /> Diamonds<br /> Chose it together<br /> Yes I would choose it again!</p> <p>This is a 2nd marriage for both of us and I didn't want a separate engagement ring.

No wedding, no wedding ring here... lol, but I like hearing about everyone's rings and why. </p> <p>...I can't get married because the ring I like is this one I saw in a downmarket mall... this giant heart shaped diamond on a thin little band of gold. I don't know how to explain it, it was just the tackiest thing ever and I loved it. I mean, it was probably zircon when I think about it. You know, totally out of the question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-for-fun-wedding-ring-survey#post-730561 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:47:10 +0000 Anonymous 730561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My original wedding band set is yellow gold; the engagement ring has a diamond.
