Wedding ring advice

[louiseybobs]

Is there no old family rings your parents might have stashed away not getting worn?

We do, and I hated the idea of buying more when there was lots in a cupboard upstairs.

I’ve been with John for 13 years and he proposed last February knowing how I felt him and my mum chose an old ring to propose with that my nan had given my mum, we might pick a new one together in a few years.

My Nan recently passed away so I will use her wedding ring 🥰

Good luck 🥰🥰🥰

I’m sure you will be able to try on. OH tried absolutely loads!
I actually bought mine second hand.
I’d been hunting for ages and as we walked last a little antiques store I saw exactly what I’d wanted. When it was the perfect fit I knew it was meant to be. Let’s just hope the original wearer was happily married!

You’ll most likely get a far better quality ring for your budget if you have a look at some auctions or antiques stores

That’s a beautiful ring. And a lovely story behind it.

Unfortunately my mum isn’t like that and I don’t have that sort of relationship with her. There is no way she would ever let me wear anything of hers let alone a ring.
When my nana passed away, my mum and aunties cashed in her jewellery for money. I was devastated as there were a few pieces I would have happily paid them money for, but I wasn’t even asked.

My nana on my dads side passed away recently and I would’ve loved to wear something of hers, but unfortunately all of her jewellery has gone to my auntie.

It replaced my engagement ring as I really wasn’t that attached to it , once I had the “real” ring although I sometimes wear it as a dress ring on my right hand.
My husband suggested getting a new engagement ring as a set with the wedding ring but to me it felt that would “just be a ring “ rather than one that marked our engagement.

My mum said similar about her wedding ring. It's a plain gold band but when my dad suggested she could replace it, she was adamant that she could not.
Her wedding ring was the one that was put on her finger on her wedding date. She's all for shiny new rings but that plain band, whatever it cost back in the 80's cannot be swapped out. Love it

Gosh how sad

Well now you can create new memories with your new ring

Like another poster said
Try a pawn shop, you get so much more for you money!

There’s a chain of one up north called Miltons which I love

Sending love and luck to you x
