Megan's engagement ring
I see the duchess of Sussex has redesigned her beautiful engagement ring, having small diamonds put into the previously plain gold band. I have to say I don't get this (apart from the fact I actually think it's a bit tacky) is there no sentiment any more? I have been pondering this a while to be honest as my sister replaces her wedding ring whenever she sees something she prefers, as I said to her it's not your wedding ring then is it?
I know I do get very attached to things (cars for example) so maybe I'm out of step here. I don't think it's just an age thing as my daughter and niece agree with me (about the rings not the cars). |

Nope i am with u.
My husband chose my ring and i love it because of that. He brought me another engadgement ring a few years ago as i dropped alot of weight and it wAs too big. New ring isnt me. My dd helped but i prefer my first (cheaper/smaller/emotionally attached to ring... Im not keen on megan she seems so manipulative. I might be wrong but she seems like a diva |

I’m no Meghan fan but this doesn’t bother me. I’m not sentimental in any way shape or form and some people just aren’t. Doesn’t make her any less married or have any less fond memories of when they became engaged.
Jewellery is so personal that if she felt it needed a little more for her to wear it comfortable and often then she had every right to sort it. Same with your sister, she wears a ring she likes when she likes it. I think Kate’s ring which is Diana’s old one is awful and doesn’t suit her at all but she has very carefully worn it for a limited number of occasions when it’s called for as it seems very unpractical for day to day wear. She’d be lynched if she attempted to do anything with the shape/design though! |

I sit in the camp of think carefully before you buy and when you do buy a sentimental item then it's for life.
I assume the ring was 'handed down' If so she should have either declined it if she didn't like it or if she accepted it then leave it as it was.

Has it occurred to anyone her husband may have suggested the alteration?
I know some people who have done this to commemorate a wedding anniversary or the birth of a child. |

Exactly my thoughts
Maybe it was a joint decision to celebrate their marriage and first child Either way it's personal to them. I think the wearing of jewellery is so personal. DH died over 3 years ago and I still wear my wedding,eternity ring and engagement rings. Doesn't seem quite right to me to take them off, however my NZ friend was aghast I was still wear them when she visited last year She thought I ought stop wearing them completely or if I really needed to wear them to wear them on the other hand |

Not sure how it ‘jumped up a notch or two’
I both replied to the OP and made some comments of my own. I didn’t suggest the OP thought or believed any of my comments at all. If the OP had any issues with my response it is their issue to respond to as they see fit, not yours to jump in haphazardly in their defence.
