Show Me Your Heirloom Rings & Tell Your Story!

I dont know as much about the diamond as you do yours, but I know it was just a loose stone my paternal grandpa had. My dad gave it to FH when they discussed Dad's blessing. I was very close to my Papaw and it was only fitting that it made it's way into my ring.

I love that! It's so nice to have a beautiful ring & a memory all in one.

I don't have an heirloom, but your ring is gorgeous!

My ring and my grandma's ring.My grandma's ring

Beautiful ring!! Do you have a picture of the bands your considering getting?

Mine is not an heirloom, but I hope it will be someday! I would love for our future grandchildren or great grandchildren to use my ring or the diamonds from my ring. I think heirloom rings are so beautiful and sentimental.

While it is not my wedding/engagement ring, I did wear my grandma's wedding ring on my wedding day. I wore it on my right hand and it was so meaningful to me. I loved having a piece of her with me. My dad let me keep it after the wedding, and it wear it from time to time.

Wow! How beautiful you were able to wear both. I love that! I'm considering wearing my grandmother's pearl necklace on my wedding day, but I'm not sure yet. My mother has her ring (she is divorced) and her mother's wedding ring, so I'm hoping our future children will be able to use them. I'm thinking something very simple but cute & personal like this one for my wedding band: https://www.etsy.com/listing/456035732/dainty-coordinates-ring-stackable-band?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=ring+with+longitude&ref=sc_gallery-1-3&plkey=01aeba0a729b4c2c8bf744dafb0f6b4f9b196b1e%3A456035732&ep_click=1&pro=1

I know it's pretty cheap and not typical, but I could always get a typical band in the future if I changed my mind! I just really like having the coordinates of where we first met on the band and it being so small and simple.

Don't have an heirloom ring but I love reading stories about the background of your rings. Your ring is gorgeous by the way! I feel like it could totally stand on its own without a band! Would you ever consider switching your engagement ring to your right hand and wearing a band on the left?

Thank you so much! I'm not a jewelry person so I probably wouldn't wear rings on both hands. My engagement ring is pretty much the only jewelry I wear ever and I've finally gotten used to it after being engaged for 13 months hahahahaha! I think I'm going to get a small simple Etsy ring that's $20-$50 and if I don't want to wear it then I won't. Or if we are traveling somewhere or doing something I don't want to risk my ring, I can just wear the band!

Your ring is beautiful

I absolutely love that band idea! I think it's a really sweet idea. My band kinda similar (small plain white gold band, no diamonds) and I got a lot of questions about it from people. We had budgeted $1,000 for my band, but I just liked the $135 band so much better!

Thank you! Yes, I love simple bands with an intricate engagement ring. I think it compliments really well.

The band on my ring belonged to my fiancée’s grandmother and got a new diamond set into it. My future mother in law turned the original setting into a necklace so that we can always be connected to each other and their family history

Wow, that is awesome! What a meaningful thing to do to the band & setting!

My ring is not exactly a heirloom ring, but it contains parts from three generations of my FH's family.

My FMIL donated the diamond and setting, which used to be here from her marriage. My FH's grandmother donated gold jewelry that she no longer wanted to form the band. And my FH picked out the Garnets which are my birthstone.

I love that I can see the entire diamond in this setting.

It's very sentimental to me.

I love that! That's so awesome to have a mixture of all those memories in one ring!

My ring is a new platinum setting that we picked out together, but the diamond is my mother-in-law’s! She and my father in law gave it to my fiancé on the condition that it was for me. It made me feel so good to have such a big sign of approval from them!!

That is a big sign of approval, and such an emotional gift!

I love my fiance's family ring! It's from the 1930s! I can't even believe that! He presented it in its original box as well! I can't wait to share this ring with my future generation as well.

Everyone has such beautiful rings!
