Fh bought me a beatiful engagement ring 2 years ago. it has a round center stone with a round eternity band attached. After two years of wearing this ring (that i love), i wanted to get an emarald shaped CZ ring to wear once and a while on the same finger instead of the original ring. he is extremely insulted that i wanted to do this but i dont see what the BIG deal is. does anyone agree with me, or with him.

Re: need opinion on disagreement with FH
Unfortunately I agree with your FH. I can see him being hurt...however, if you explain your reasoning to him he may come around.

Re: need opinion on disagreement with FH
Why do you want to wear a different e-ring? Not sure I understand the motive here. Are yo bored with the ring? My DH would be very hurt indeed.
editted to add: If I had a family ring I would NEVER touch it. It would be passed on and on the way I got it.

i would like to do something similar. i am a waitress right now and i refuse to wear my ring to work and i do not want to wear my ring when we go on vacation and if i have to buy a cheap 30 fake ring that looks nice for those times, then i will do that. i also want to get a barebones wedding band for those same situations. tell him that you looooooove the ring but would feel awful if something should happen to it.

Re: need opinion on disagreement with FH
well, i guess everyone agrees with FH. for those who dont understand my motive- i absolutly love the ring he bought for me. he designed it and its the only ring i ever would have wanted. however, ive been wearing it for a little over 2 years now and i would like a change every once in a while. i fell in love with the look of three emerald cut diamonds as an engagement ring. since we cant afford a new one, i went to my jewler and asked if he could make me up one with good CZ's and it wasnt too expensive. FH got made because i would be replacing it for my real ring. i would only replace occasionally- not everyday. im a phys ed teacher and i thought i could wear it to work or even once a month for a change. he said absolutly not. so i guess ill give up on it. or maybe ill still have him make it up for me and then wear it on the other hand. we will see.

Re: need opinion on disagreement with FH
I'm sorry I agree you FH. I do see where you're coming from too though. I love my ring but it wasn't exactly what I had wanted. I would love to change the setting but I wouldn't mention it to him right now because he would get really upset. Maybe in a few years... I don't want to wear my ring at work eather becasue it does get banged up. I think I'll wear just teh wedding band when I get it.

Re: need opinion on disagreement with FH
I understand what you are saying. It is nice to have a change every so often. However, I don't think you should do it because it would hurt his feelings too much. I would wear the other ring on the other hand. I know people who have diamond rings on both hands and I don't think it looks strange at all. Usually the other ring is a family ring so that could always be your story if you feel you need one. BTW, I have a friend who alternates wearing all the rings she has-her engagement ring, wedding band, CZ, emeralds, tanzanite, etc. She gets bored if she wears the same one all the time. Her husband doesn't say much but he doesn't like it. I know he would prefer her to wear her band at least so she seems married. Most of all he hates the CZ. He works hard to buy her her expensive jewelry so it offends him that she wears fakes. Something to keep in mind.
