I considered this, but in the end I bought a yellow gold band and when we travel I wear that

Boo! They don't have my ring....I have a fake one that I wear to the beach or when we go running that is not exactly like my ring, but very similar. Wish I could find one that was an exact match!

I'm not getting a fake set, but I am going to get a plain wedding band to match FH's (mine is diamond) so that if I'm concerned about wearing my ring I can still wear my wedding band.

I plan on wearing both my ering and wedding band on my HM..... i am not going to live my life in fear, plus that is what insurance is for.... i have a better chance of losing my e-ring doing normal everyday stuff....



I totally agree with this and what everyone else said who is not getting a fake one. Why not get a fake bag, and fake sunglasses and everything else. yes it's scary and you can lose it but I think putting a fake ring on is not good. I wouldn't wear it at all before I wore a fake one, or would get just a plain band to wear. That's why they make insurance. Your stone could fall out while shopping or in a subway...should you wear a fake one all the time?



see i would never wear my ering or wedding band to the beach - in the ocean or in a pool because ive lost jewelry like that before - so if i wouldnt do it here - why would i do that in another country? so what i have insurance - that doesnt mean im going to put my jewelry that has sentimental value to me at risk....just because i have insurance doesnt mean im going to be irresponsible with my jewelry - i dont think getting a fake set is a bad idea - if you lose that there really is no loss - i think people like fake sets because its a symbol that you are married for everyone to see - at least thats how i feel...

No offense, but insurance just doesn't replace a ring that's holds so much meaning to a marriage. Yes that's what insurance is there for, but it doesn't mean the same when it could easily be replaced like that. I'm getting a fake band ONLY for the sake of going on my honeymoon. I'd like to be able to venture to the beach and excursions with an eased mind. Nothing wrong with that...

Everyone has to do what makes them comfortable. but your rings are like everything else. Do you not drive a car cause someone might hit it? You have car insurance...do you not go out in public because you might get sick? No you have health insurance. Do you run your stove, dryer, candles or anything that could cause a fire in your house? yes....I personally do wear my ring to the beach. IMO i think a fake set is tacky. I totally undrestand being uncomfortable wearing a ring but then get a plain band. Showboating a big CZ isn't the way to go IMO....

if people want to get a fake set then let them. They dont want to wear it to the beach but want to show they're married so if theyre happy who cares if its something you wouldn't do.

Msflesch-to answer your question that you just asked Lisa. I got engaged while on a cruise, so i had NO choice but to have the ring on me. I didnt want to leave it in a safe at all, i didnt trust to do that. So yes i wore it to the beach and everywhere. When we went snorkeling, we were with alot of his family, his aunt didnt go in the water so i had a bookbag and also had this mini purse inside that zips and put my ring in that and then put the mini purse in the bookbag and gave to his aunt to hold. I knew she can be trusted to watch it carefully and i told her the ring was in there so to really watch it. That is the only time i took it off. In turks and caicos i had it on while i was on the beach. I only went in the beginning part of the water and it was so low, i didnt go swimming since i cant swim lol. AND i just did what i do even now on a daily basis, i put my thumb over the center stone to always feel it and make sure its fine. I take the train everyday and same risk is involved.


but ladies, no need to let such a subject cause controversey lol. Its not a big deal at all. Let others do what makes them happy. Luckily for my HM i dont have to worry about this so not concerned but for others its a concern. Whoever wants to do it then do it and who doesnt then simply dont do it. Who cares what the other is doing

People can do what they want which is why i put IMO....you can say your married with a plain band. You don't need a diamond to show you are married which is where my opinion lies. Of course people can do what they want. I just wouldn't....

I agree with you. Also, in the train i always turn my stone around just so that it looks as if I'm wearing a plain wedding band. It's just a matter of being protective over something that holds a lot of meaning to you. Insurance is great to have, but it wouldn't be the same ring that FH spent his time and effort looking for and proposing to me with, so insurance doesn't really mean a thing to me.

KRISTINA I AM APPALLED THAT YOU WANT A FAKE SET.

I didn't read this whole thread, but, FYI, QVC has some very 'real' looking fake items. My mom has a bunch for when she doesnt want to wear her real jewelry.

I am def. going to wear my e-ring and w-ring I can't imagine not wearing them. The only thing I was concerned about was the water and all but I am going to wear a hair tie on my ring finger, like I do now when I go to the gym, it doesn't move around at all.

but why get upset about it and call them tacky, seriously not a big deal lol. If they want to do this then why argue with them not to do it. I am sure theres things youve done that people want to throw their .2 cents in and tell you what THEY think is best and you hated it. Infact on this site one of the biggest complaints is that everybody tries to tell us what to do with our weddings and how much we hate it and why cant they let us do things the way we want. But meanwhile we always do the same thing to other brides on here. Does it really effect you if other LIW'ers wear a fake set on their HM?

GIRLS-ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS LOL its friday lets enjoy

Re: Fake wedding ring set..........are you getting one too?????

i dont know, if we were doing most of the things we are doing on our HM at home than i would be leaving my ring AT HOME but on our HM im not going to have that option.....i dont like to wear my jewelry when i do anything where it can get lost or even damaged - to me thats like leaving my car doors unlocked, or leaving a candle lit when im not home - yeah you have insurance but that doesnt mean you should be careless and put your belongings at risk.... and for me - i think wearing jewelry on a jet ski in the middle of the ocean is a little careless - thats JMO....i dont know if im getting a fake band, a plain white gold band for these types of situations where im not comfortable, or if im just not wearing anything at all

Well said. I am happy this thread came up - I didn't even think of us. I am getting a diamond eternity band and also a plain white gold band so if i am nervouos i can just wear the plain band.
Although, I would like the bling for the casinos..

maybe they didnt think of buying a plain band to always have. It could just be something that hasnt crossed their mind. It can always be posted as a suggestion

OMG how much does a diamond sparkle in casino lights for some reason? Every time we go I can't stop staring at my own ring. I just look like a jacka$$.
