FH and I bought our wedding bands a week or two ago. My band is a wrap. We showed them to FBIL and he told us that wraps as a band should only be worn for the first 5-10 years of marriage. After that, you are suppose to get an actual band. As anyone ever heard of something like this?! Are there...

It sounds to me like jewelers trying to create trends that will make them more money down the line.

I have never heard of any rules. (Nor would I oblige by them if I had. My ring is my ring and I am going to wear it however long I please.

Maybe his wife used that story to get a new ring?

This sounds completely made up. Wear your rings however you want!

Lol. that must be the old fashioned rule. i wouldn't say that applies anymore... unless you're old fashioned. now people just get what they want.

i wouldn't worry about it. get what you want.

I'm wondering if it's what Nancy mentioned. Did his wife have a wrap and decided she wanted an upgrade?

Never heard of this. I would have never thought there were ring "rules" its your ring! Do what you want! If you want to upgrade next year, or 50 years from now, or just stay with the ring you got married with till the day you die, I think its one of those "have it your way" kind of deals!

No his wife didn't want to upgrade. She originally wanted a wrap when they got married (over ten years ago) but changed her mind and got a band once she heard about this "rule". Maybe it's just outdated.

That is dumb... I don't think there are any "rules" about rings. Your rings are very pretty and there's no reason you can't wear them forever if you want to.
