Hi all, my ring is non-traditional — a designer ring, not meant to be an engagement ring that my fiance had reset in white gold after a few stones came loose. The new metal helps, but the design itself is dainty and sort of jagged, and does get snagged on things. I'm also sort of hard on my hands.
Most recently, the center stone chipped. It's an aquamarine (less strong than a diamond). The jeweler offered to look for a sapphire in a similar color, but it will be difficult, as the color and cut are very unique.
I love my ring but am disheartened; we've been engaged little more than a year and have had all this trouble. I've considered getting a band and only wearing my real ring on special occasions. But I'd been planning to get a custom band to match this ring (standard bands don't work with it), and don't know if it's worth it for a ring I can rarely wear.
I don't want a new ring, but I do want a ring I can actually wear. Advice?
