Engagement ring not actually my taste

We've been engaged 6 months and my FH noticed that I rarely wear my engagement ring. I mostly wear it when we go out on dates and when we have dinner with family on the weekends. Since he brought up the subject I finally spilled the beans and told him that the ring doesn't reflect my personal...

We've been engaged 6 months and my FH noticed that I rarely wear my engagement ring. I mostly wear it when we go out on dates and when we have dinner with family on the weekends. Since he brought up the subject I finally spilled the beans and told him that the ring doesn't reflect my personal taste. He took the news pretty well. We're either going to try to change the ring or I'll just help design my wedding band.

I feel awful because I know that he worked hard to save up for my ring. We have two kids and and he's been taking on side jobs to make sure we're able to pay for everything wedding related. Ladies am I being foolish? I really want to like my ring and I don't want to seem unappreciative

    You shouldn't have to "get used to an engagement ring" That's what you tell someone after they get a mouthful of braces . ( I know this for a fact ) Get a ring that you like.

    Hey, I love the ring, but can understand it's a personal taste issue.

    I actually had my ring redone, and my LO took it quite well. He likes my new one even better Smiley winking

    I got some ideas here https://www.worthy.com/blog/fashion-focus/makeover-your-engagement-ring/

    If you truly truly dislike (hate the design) then by all means, don't wear it. But if it just wasn't what you were originally picturing, and can grow to love it, then keep it. It really depends how much you truly dislike it. Yes, he picked it out and that makes it special, but if I HATED the ring my FH, I'd have to say something or else I'd be lying to myself and him. It's better to be honest.

    The ring I was given, is one cushion cut diamond with a pavé band. And it's a cathedral setting so it sits nice and high.

    In my eyes, it was pretty simple. Yet still beautiful. Had I designed or picked out my ring, it probably would've been more "ornate". Think verragio with all the intricate designs.

    I'm happy with my ring because it's gorgeous, elegant, and he picked it out.
