Wedding rings!!!

You could also have the current stones/diamonds put into a new setting. That way you can keep the sentiment and maybe “add” to it if you feel you are looking for something bigger? Like maybe buy a new diamond for the centre and use the originals to highlight the centre stone OR get a new engagement ring and have the original diamonds set into a custom Redding band to highlight the new ring. So many endless possibilities

If you want a new ring I would say go for it especially since it'll be a milestone of 9.5 years together!

I'm in love with my ring

If you want another ring, then go for it! You do whatever you want!

Wedding bands can be your choice to add to your engagement ring as to making it feel complete. It does add some style if you choose to go with that addition. The choice of getting a whole different ring is up to you depending on what you two set your budget and stone/carat type. Its best to shop around and get prices to compare to see where you are getting the best deals and if any deals are coming up that can save you more of the price.

View quoted message I never even thought of that!! That’s something we should totally look into

We have been engaged for many years as well. We definitely have a different budget than we had when we first got engaged. However, for myself I love my engagement ring its part of our story so instead of upgrading the engagement ring I am having my wedding band made so that my engagement ring will really pop. I feel like it's adding to our story. At our 10 year anniversary there's a chance I may get another ring to add once again. I think that is the best part about going to a jeweler where your ring is made for you rather than going to a department store and getting a ready made set. Just my opinion and in the end you have to make yourself happy. Whatever works for you.

View quoted message This is a really good point 👍🏻

If you want a new ring then I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as your partner is also on board. A lot of people upgrade after several years for different reasons. It might be just that their style has changed and their original ring no longer suits them, or maybe the budget just wasn't there to get what the person wanted the first time around. There are no rules about any of this so you can just do whatever works best for you and your life.

But I would just make sure to talk about it with your partner, because I could see some people being offended if their partner wanted a new engagement or wedding ring.

A lot of people get new fine jewelry at certain milestones like major anniversaries. Others also upgrade their rings down the road when they want something bigger and flashier but couldn't afford it initially when they got married. So if getting a new ring will make you happy and excited, and money is not a factor, go for it!

View quoted message Yeah your over thinking it haha basically I’m wondering of anyone else has been engaged for a ive age and got a new engagement ring before getting married money isn’t an issue for us it’s more of a am I being insane for wanting a new one

If you don't already have the wedding band but you want one and are able to afford it, then sure! Same goes with your fiance, who I assume doesn't have any ring yet and would probably like one after getting married.

View quoted message So Ive had the same engagement ring for the last number of years and I’m wondering if I should get myself a whole new bridal set when I purchase his rings

Traditionally when you get married, each partner also gets a wedding band in addition to the engagement ring that was given during the proposal. Of course, rings are not a legal requirement for marriage.

When you say new rings, do you mean to ask whether you should get a set of wedding bands for the wedding? Or do you already have a pair of rings despite not being married and you want a new pair?
