Engagement Ring

Maya, on May 3, 2018 at 17:57 Posted in WeddingWire 0 10
So about a month ago I lost my engagement ring. It fell off due to all the weight I lost and it hasn’t been found yet. I was wondering what people thought if I should get the same ring or a different ring. Let me know your thoughts.

    If it were me, I'd get the same ring, but I picked out mine (it was purchased after the proposal). If you're asking if you should get your ring over again, it's really only up to you. It's not my personal style since I like something a little more traditional.

    My engagement ring i picked out myself cause my fiancé didnt know what id like. But when we get married i plan on choosing a different one. But its up to you because youll be stuck with it for the rest of your life hopefully so you should have one youll love weither its the one you lost or a different one.

    Oh no Smiley sad I'm sorry to hear that.

    If you love your ring I would get the same one for sure. But it is your decision. If that happened to me I would get the same ring, as I love it. And hubby picked it out himself, so he did put the thought into picking it.

    Sorry to hear about your ring!

    I would choose a different ring myself because I'm not a huge fan of my ring. My now-husband knows how I felt about the ring, so I don't think he would be surprised if I wanted to choose something different.

    If you love your ring though, definitely go for it! There's a reason your fiance chose it in the first place, and I'm sure he would be thrilled that you got the same one.

    In regards to re-sizing, in other posts that I have read, some girls wear their wedding band on top of their engagement ring (which fit better) to stop the engagement ring from falling off. Others have chosen not to wear their engagement ring after they are married, and only use it on special occasions. Totally your decision though!

    I understand... although now you can get it in the correct size originally.... so hopefully no more need for resizing! Smiley laugh

    Thanks for that suggestion Brittany. I guess one reason I was thinking of going with a different ring is because resizing is really difficult because of the black coating on the diamonds.

    I would probably go back and get the same ring. I love my ring though...

    It's a little awkward to go with a different ring, if your fiance was really proud of the one he picked out...

    I'd say it totally depends on your personal situation... but if it were me, my guy would be super bummed that I don't want the same ring.

    Omg I couldn’t imagine that’s so sad!! Your ring is so sentimental! I’d want a ring that was the same style as the original.

    For me personally my ring is irreplaceable. It was his grandmother's and she passed last year. So the thought of losing it actually gives me crazy anxiety! My advice is to talk to your fiance and see what he says. How does he feel about you getting a new one all together? I know my fiance would probably have me buy it if I wanted a new one, and I'd probably do the same.
