Altering my Engagement Ring!!!

Holy fuck- that awkward moment when you open the ring box where you regularly keep your ring and it's not there.

died.

anyway- it was in my backpack b/c I was at the gym last night- anyway... let me post mine- it's tall- I smack it on LOTS of things- and I actually bought a small "nugget" ring to wear for travel, dance and field work - the tall one is- .. ahem tall LOL

I'm sure he wants you to be happy so I think you should change it to what you like.

Tall. Lol

We're changing my e-ring setting too. Reason is because he didn't realize the store sold him a white gold plated ring, so when I noticed that the color was changing, we high-tailed it to a new store and picked out a new setting. Good luck with your conversation.

JoRocka, is the ring itself thinner or thicker?

My ring always has fuz on it too lol.

My sister had a tall ring in the beginning and she actually ended up getting a new one because it snagged so much that the prongs bent or broke pretty often. She was too scared of losing the diamond so she got a new ring that sits lower.

I had to have my ring completely remade and reset because the original jeweler botched FH's design. As you can see, it was really really high and all of the prongs, including the band diamonds' were too high (original are left and middle pics, new ring is on the right). We didn't know there was an issue until I took it to be appraised by a different jeweler. Obviously I had to have mine modified for a different reason, but it was really really hard to tell FH about it. I was so nervous to tell him that the other jeweler suggested we force the original store to remake it. Tread lightly; even though FH agreed it needed to be fixed, he was still really bummed that it wasn't as "perfect" as he thought it was.

@lovechristinexo medium? It definitely isn't thin but not particularly thick.

Eeekk, To each their own , but I could never swap out my original engagement ring!

Not that a stranger's opinion matters if that is what you want, but I personally think it looks weird when the diamond pops straight up from the band like that without a sloped up setting or something to offset this diamond that is all of a sudden sticking up high. Maybe that's just me. I actually like your original a lot And from the looks of the new setting, it still seems like a wedding will not sit flush to the engagement ring due to the angle of the prongs

As long as you BOTH are okay with it. thats your business. i personally think its kinda rude. he picked it special for you.

LOL FSIL did this stupid shit with her ring and the entire family always talks about it now.... 2 years later. Don't change the ring he got you. So rude.

Good luck! The thicker band and 5 prongs definitely looks more secure.

Mrjonesandme I don't think I've ever seen your ring before, it's stunning!!

My e-ring is almost completely flush with the finger. My wedding band is horseshoe, and they stack perfectly. its totally possible as long as the wedding band is designed with the e-ring in mind.

Here is the jeweler's pic:

I would be very careful of your wording when you talk to him about it. You definitely don't want to hurt his feelings! I like the thin band better, personally..

I love my skinny band. If you're worried about size I think the thinner bands make the diamond look bigger.

I love the height of my ring. It also makes the diamond appear bigger too! Your original band is so similar to the one you want to change it to though, is that really worth it to change it? I personally like the look of your thinner band though!

mrjonesandme- I am having trouble finding a band to go with my emerald cut ring too. Have you found anything you like yet?

I also have to say I wish mine was lower. I hit it on things and snags a lot. I'm scared I'm going to break a prong at times. But I love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

We talked about it! He said it was fine, because it's not altering the concept. It's a solitaire ring. It's not like I'm adding a halo or diamonds around the band. As far as others talking about it, well I don't real care, but I'm also not broadcasting it to everyone (that's why I'm here asking opinions). Anyone that has seen my ring will not even realize it. Super excited!! I do love the thinner band, but it doesn't match up with the thickness of the other two wedding bands.
