Buying new ring & wedding band?

Norma, on February 11, 2020 at 4:21 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9
Hello all!


Okay.. so im here so that someone can kindly* talk me off the ledge. I'm considering buying a new wedding ring/band. We got married in October of 2019, and i love my ring. There's nothing wrong with it.. i wouldnt be replacing it. See.. my ring is white gold. i love it but there's this Mk watch that my husband bought me a couple years ago that i havent been wearing as much because its rose gold and i usually wear it on my left wrist. i dont know if wearing different tones of metal at the same time is still a thing but i never liked that look. i also have been avoiding yellow gold accessories (which i love) for the same reason. I mentioned the idea to my husband in passing but he was so laser focused on his work that it dont think it really registered lol (took him like 5 minutes to say... "what? you want a new ring?" and then he didnt ask much after i explained my reasoning). I realize this is excessive, but I was looking at sales at kay jewelers and want to eventually buy a rose gold AND a yellow gold ring/band set. & when i say eventually, i mean like i wanna get them before i kick the bucket and not in the next year or two.. cuz i know.. i been married for a whole 107 days and im already planning on getting more rings lol. i knoow how crazy i sound but... has anyone ever done this? also, we didnt get married through a church so my current ring isnt blessed or anything. i guess its just preference in me not wanting to mix my jewelry. but i miss my gold and rose golds Smiley sad any thoughts?
im aware that i sound like a brat so please dont call me one. lol be nice to me
😂

    I mean I get not wanting to mix metals but I feel like your wedding ring doesn’t even “count” when it comes to that. 99% of people wear the same wedding ring every day regardless of what other jewelry they have. I’d try not to overthink it and really just think of the ring as an extension of your hand, not a piece of jewelry that has to match with all your other jewelry

    I wear different gold jewelry always, I don't think there's a problem wearing your current ring and the watch if they're different colors. But, there is no right or wrong answer - only what you want. So if you absolutely want to do it, then do it!

    I think that wedding rings are an exception to the mixed metal rule. My e-ring and band are white gold and I still wear yellow gold or rose gold earrings and and accessories when they match my outfits. I don’t think twice about it matching my wedding rings and I don’t think anyone else does either.

    I don't think that's a good enough reason to buy new wedding ring to be honest. Because think about it, later on you're gonna find another watch or bracelet or whatever else that you may like and it may be a totally different style and color and tone and then what're you gonna do - change rings again to match it? As pp said, your ring is the main piece of jewelry and I don't think it counts either for mixing and matching with other pieces of jewelry

    I personally would not change my wedding ring to match a watch. Will you buy a wedding ring in every metal color to match every piece of jewelry you ever wear? I would suggest maybe getting stacking rings to wear in addition to your wedding band instead of getting a new one. It is up to you though. If you want a new ring, go for it but I just think that a wedding ring is forever and should be viewed as irreplaceable unless it is really lost or stolen.

    I've been married 30+ yrs. My wedding set is yellow gold because that's pretty much what all wedding sets were in the 1980's.... The watch I wear every day is white gold, and I wear a variety of earrings to go with what's appropriate for my outfit. I have a few sets of very high quality diamond or pearl earrings, in both white gold and yellow gold settings. I also wear a variety of costume jewelry earrings, if they better accessorize what I'm wearing. I have a very sentimental yellow gold necklace that was my mother's. Not everything has to "match" to be worn appropriately in my book. The one thing I would NOT vary would be my wedding ring set -- H chose it, and nothing will ever replace it -- everything else is replaceable/interchangeable in my mind.

    I personally like the look of mixed metals. I've never been one to worry about things like that.
    Every thing matchy matchy is boring to me and I've never felt the need to be like everyone else, so that wouldn't bother me at all.

    That being said, my wedding ring, like my engagement ring; can never be replaced.
    Once he puts it on my finger, there it will staySmiley smile ❤Good luck with your decision.It's really up to you. No right or wrong answer.

    I personally think that it isn't necessary to match your wedding set to your other jewelry. I mean, you can wear whatever you want, but I don't think you should look at your wedding set as just an accessory to match other things. I might just be weird, but to me, my wedding set is the physical "thing" honoring our marriage and I wouldn't feel right about just changing it out like any other random accessory. Like it lessens the significance or something...but like I said...I might just be weird about it. You do whatever makes you happy.
