A previous post on the 2011 board set me into search mode... Here's a link for relatively inexpensive 'fake' rings to wear on the HM for those girls who don't want to chance it and want to make sure they keep their original regardless of insurance
The price range went anywhere from 9.99 and up... HTH any ladies looking for the same thing!

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
Yeah I was just at Kohls looking at that!
I still have a while to go before my HM but I know I would feel so weird not having my ring on since it hasnt left my finger for more than a few minutes since we got engaged but it's also not worth wearing it and then having something happen

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
Just a thought .... After the wedding you are on this amazing high, so in love with the wedding and of course FH, I loved wearing my real engagement ring and new wedding band. It looked so pretty in pictures. It really solidified things. You dont ever take it off so there is no worry about someone stealing it. HTH

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
That's very true but my main concern is not even about someone stealing it, I'm the same way my Ering has not left my finger for a single minute lol, but at the same time you never know what could happen and I guess I'd rather just have the peace of mind knowing that my ring is somewhere safe and not going to slip off into the ocean or worse. To each his own, I just wanted to share the link for those who are thinking about it :)

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
i acutally bought a fake wedding band and will only wear that on the HM because we are gonna be in the sun, sand and water all the time I just don't want anything to happen to it.
I bought it from nordstrom

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
I want a fake set b/c there's no way I'm risking losing it or any of the stones. I know that's what insurance is for but I would be devastated and it would ruin our HM if anything happened to it. We are going to be scuba diving, zip lining, white water rafting, etc etc & I don't want to leave it in the room. Plus, my rings are all pavé diamonds and I don't want all salt water and sand to get in them. I never wear my ring to the beach or the pool when I'm home so why do it on the HM.
aaaand my best friends husband lost his wedding band in the ocean their first day in Hawaii!

I agree with you. It would totally ruin my trip if I lost a stone. It was why I didn't wear my ring to Cancun last week. BTW your HM sounds like so much fun! I always wanted to go white water rafting!!!!! I went zip lining last year in Costa Rico - so much fun but I was sooooo nervous.

On FH's first honeymoon to Hawaii, his ex-wife nearly lost her e-ring in the ocean. He said because of that, I'm not allowed to bring mine anywhere near an ocean.

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
I never even entertained getting a fake set for any reason. I figure that DH spent so much money on my beautiful rings ... if I wasn't going to wear them then what's the point of having them? Plus I don't think he would be pleased if I wore a cheapo set anytime we went anywhere ... he could have just bought a cheapo set for me when proposing and been done with it.
We insured my rings and I wore them in Europe with no problems.

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
I would love to never ever take my ring off but you hear these stories of people losing their ring in the ocean etc etc.. and FH spent soooo much on my ring its not worth having anything happen although its insured I dont want to have to get a new one.. id personally rather have the piece of mind that its safe!

Re: Fake Engagement Ring for HM
Good find. I didn't wear anything on my HM. Left the rings home.
