Re: What would you do?
I'm sorry to say this, but I personally wouldnt. I think it would grow on me like my e-ring. The gift came from his heart. I think that means more than what kind of jewlery we like. I would love to have something so special around my neck on my wedding day.

Re: What would you do?
I probably would tell him, but in a gentle way. Unfortunately my DH also gave me a necklace which I didn't like, and I knew he had good intentions, just not great execution. He was a little disappointed I didn't like it, but would rather me wear and love something else than have his gift sit in a jewlery box gathering dust.

Can you tuck it in your bok or pin it under your dress so that you are wearing it but its a secret between the two of you??

Honesty-I would tell him...
I agree. You can find something that is just as symbolic, but that you would wear.

I would wear it because it meant something to him....If he hadn't of explained why he picked it out in such a meaningful way I might not have, but to me knowing why he bought it would mean so much

i completely agree - it sounds like he put alot of love and thought into it. I am usually very honest with my DH when it comes to gifts, but if something was presented in that way, it is a different kind of gift, and I know it would grown on me bacause of the significance.

Re: What would you do?
does he expect you to wear it for your wedding????
I have told FI about not liking a piece of jewelry before and it did not go over well... so now when i get something im not crazy about, i say thank you and I just dont wear it all the time...
If he doesnt expect you to wear it for your wedding day, i would just accept it and wear it once it a while to make him happy... if he wants you to wear it for your wedding day... i would tell him you already had jewelry picked out that you were going to wear... but you can always wear his neckalce to the rehersal dinner and during the honeymoon...

Re: What would you do?
Is there anyway you could tell him that it won't match your wedding ensemble and that you had already bought jewelry that matches. Then, you could wear it at RD and on honeymoon? Just a suggestion.
I would just wear it and grow to like it becuase he put so much thought into the gift. BTW I think its pretty.

Re: What would you do?
id like it alot better in white gold. maybe you can get it dipped in rhodium
those diamonds look expensive - if you cant get it dipped find a way to tell him that you prefer a differnt setting so you can wear it every day. im sure he would like to see you wear it and love it- not pretend to like it. jmho

I wouldnt tell him - it would hurt his feelings.
Tell him it doesnt quite match with your dress but maybe wear it on the day of another special occasion.
DH has given me a few things I dont love but I wear them anyway - they are from his heart.

OMG! that is SO GOREGOUS!! I know you said you don't care for it, but I think it's stunning!
IMO, you should not tell him how you feel. it was incredibly romantic of him to buy this for you and then tell you what he thinks it represents.
I don't LOVE everything my FH buys me, but I have learned to suck it up. it's not worth hurting his feelings.

serously I would wear it - he is very sweet - don't get caught up in if it is nice or matches or how it looks - the wedding is about your love - don't hurt his feelings
