What wedding ring would you pick now?

[sadlebred]

I would get something custom designed. There is a local jeweler that knows my style. The center stone would be a true blue sapphire.

A band something like this that I can wear everyday. It's somewhat similar to my former wedding band:

[konapoppy]

I love my Todd Reed ring. It is nontraditional but suits my style. The center diamond never snags because of the setting. It is more basic than a lot of his designs now (band of raw cut diamonds with a center stone).

[insominac]

Since I got married pretty recently, I'd keep what I currently have: super thin eternity band with diamonds on top and sides.

I also have a diamond solitaire that was my wedding present, but I rarely wear it.

[freya]

Something like this

[sju]

I would keep it the same.  I have a round solitaire and a diamond band (did not come as a set). Both platinum. 

[icedcoffee]

This is my set.  I'd pick it again if I had to.  I love that it's simple, but sparkly.  It's timeless IMO.  My mom liked it so much that she actually reset her rings which no longer fit to match my rings.   LOL

[halfpint]

I love my set, but I rarely wear it - the two rings together are kind of uncomfortable.

I'd get something that is more of a standalone ring - neither of these is exactly right, but kind in line with what I'd look for.

He designed the ring, and it was blessed by our priest.
So, I'm sentimental about it.
I'd like to add another matching channel set sapphire band, a top the e-ring for year 10 anniversay, next year.
This is the wedding band I have below my e-ring.

I wasn't asking about upgrading.  Pretend your actual ring blessed by the priest is gone.  What would you do then?  Get the same ring you got ten years ago or go for something different as your style or life has changed?

[yentl]

This is basically what I had when we got married.

I liked it then and I still do but I feel like it's pretty basic I don't know. My style has changed a lot since then. For our ten year wedding anniversary DH helped me design my own ring. I feel weird posting a pic of it here since it's one of a kind, but it looks kind of like this with a little less bling:

I'm obsessed with it. It was supposed to be a supplemental ring like maybe right hand or every now and then whatever but I wear it everyday on my left hand. My wedding set has gotten sadly sidelined. It is rose gold, so maybe someday that will go out of style and I'll want to go back to a more classic piece? I get compliments on it constantly.

WTF?
I gave you an appropriate answer. 
I said I'd keep the same set, and add the additional channel set sapphire band posted above. 

Yeah.... if she broke the rules than so did I because I answered with an actual upgraded ring scenario. What difference does it make?

[Pom]

I'd get the same set too. Including my right hand 10th anniversary ring.

[ssmjlm]

I would probably get an anniversary type band. I'm not sure if I would want to re-create my original set.

My boss has one similar to this in yellow gold and it looks really nice. 

[rikki]

I would keep mine, but I haven't had it that long, so no time for tastes to change. It's very classic.

[raangoli]

UnderProtest - @kirkette said she would stick to the same style, as most of us did. I missed where she mentioned anything about an upgrade.

H's band

My band

Similar to my e-ring with tapered cathedral band, but H had mine custom made with an estate stone and the prongs are a little different

I promise once I'm home, I'll post real pictures.


@kirkette , your rings sound beatiful. I can understand being sentimental and wanting to replace with the same style. We actually insured our rings before the wedding just in case something happened on the beach. I still can't get over the effort H went to finding an estate stone so we were more eco-friendly and budget friendly, etc.

I love a blue diamond

[dellabear]

I have an asscher cut solitaire in a tacori style band. I still love it, but if something happened to it, I'd probably look for an art deco style ring.

[daisypaloma]

Someone I met this week have something similar to this with a larger stone.  I'm jelly.

[imojoebunny]

My set was stolen. I got the exact same set, a simple channel set with a square center diamond, but had it sized to fit my middle finger because it is more comfortable for me, due to having burned my ring finger years ago. I got a thin white gold band for the wedding finger.

[lys]

Only a wide gold wedding bank with cut out design.

I would get something like this

ETA, I love my current rings, and they're very sentimental to DH (they were his mom's, who passed away when he was a little kid). I do wish I had something very, very simple to wear at work

I really like these. Can you share where they're from?

[agnes]

I would replace with something similar or like what @kirkette posted which sapphires or another blue stone.

This is similar to what I wear now, but mine doesn't have diamonds all around.

I cannot for the life of me find the ring again. If I find it, I'll post it.

[sillygoosegirl]

There were many styles I liked when we were getting married, but what I have has really grown on me over the years. I can't imagine replacing with anything but as close to the exact same thing as possible. Though, I'm also pretty lazy. If my rings were lost or stolen, I very well might not get around to replacing them at all.

Thank you!!

[macmars45]

This is sort of timely as I lost my wedding band & e-ring recently. Of course it was the one day H, DS & I ran errands all over town so it could be a multitude of places.

I think I'll eventually get a plain white gold band to replace it. *sigh*

I love my ring. Princess cut solitaire with the platinum lucida setting and a plain wedding. I love that I can just wear the band when traveling and that it represents where we were in life when we got married so I wouldn't upgrade.

That was the e-ring I always wanted, although it was definitely not in the budget at the time.  It would still be a top contender if I had to replace my current rings.

If I got a set, next time I would either get the wedding band with no stones or an eternity band.  Mine has channel set diamonds halfway across, and I'm always spinning it back around.

Love the Lucida. My e ring was designed based on it. I would get something similar again.

My wedding band also has diamonds, but only halfway across like yours. Drove me crazy with it spinning around. I had them soldered together. Life changing! I love it!
