My husband told me he was trying to win me some $35000 ring for a fraction of the cost and it had a bigger rock than my actual ring with side stones and all. well, he wasnt able to get it but he asked me if he had would i have traded it in? I said ...absolutely not! there is no way i would ever change the ring he chose for me or trade it for anything else! there is too much meaning behind it and i could never part with it. How do you ladies feel about trade-ins?

Re: Would you trade in your e-ring?
No never. I would not want to part with it. DH picked it out himself, and afterwards, he insisted I look at the other rings in case I saw one I liked better. There were none I liked better--he did a great job choosing, and even for a bigger stone, I wouldn't want to part with this.

No...never! I would never change the setting or trade it for anything in the world. My DH picked this out himself. It's a symbol of his love for me...this ring will be with me forever.

Re: Would you trade in your e-ring?
Nope! The stone in my ring is my Mother's. I could of had a new, better grade, bigger stone, etc, but that all was not important to me. I chose to have my Mother's stone which means more to me than having the shiniest, biggest, clearest diamond in the world. I also chose my setting so to me no ring in the world can compare to mine.

I'd love to change the setting to a platinum...but my e-ring is my great grandmothers' diamond and my grandfather had given it to my grandmother.

No way, never. The meaning behind it is too important to me. He picked it out himself and I will keep it forever!
Exactly the way I feel...

NO WAY!!! I love my ring and dh did something super special with it. We met on July 17, 1999 so he got me a ring with 7 stones and 1.7 carats. So my ring is 7 1.7 just like our anniversary :0)!!! Nothing could make me give that up.

I would never trade mine in, even if we won lotto. I would gladly accept another one for the other hand though!

Re: Would you trade in your e-ring?
Honestly, I don't think my ring is the thing that has all the meaning. It's just a ring. Do I love it, yes. Is it the be all and end all of our relationship or our engagement? No, not at all. I don't think I'd ever trade it in, just because I love it, but if I ended up not loving it anymore, then why not? It's not like I love JT any less. Maybe I feel this way because I picked my ring out, or maybe just because in my family, all the women have different wedding bands and rings that they wear. I don't know. I'm just not the type of person to put so much meaning into a piece of jewelry. UNLESS, it had been passed down to me. Other than that, eh, I love it, but if the day comes where I don't love it anymore, then I don't see the problem with getting another one. This is just my honest opinion. And I'm not sure I understand how winning another ring is the same thing as trading in your original one? Why can't you wear both? I would! It's not like when you have your second baby, you don't love the first anymore.
