Tungsten Wedding Ring

When my husband gave me my wedding ring he also gave me the paperwork that came along with it which had the reciept in it. I saw that he had spent $400.00 on my ring. My heart sank. Then I felt so ashamed for being so materialistic. So I am not sure if I am right to feel this way. He takes home about $5000.00 a month and buys nothing but the best for himself. I had put this out of my mind for the last 3 years until last week when he came home talking about a friend of ours who just got married and how he doesn’t think our friend wanted to marry his wife and one of the reasons was cause he bought her a “cheap ring”. When I asked how much it was he said $600.00. So now I don’t know how I should feel after finding out my ring cost less than this “cheap ring”. I do not want to be shallow, I just assumed since my husband usually spares no expense that I would have been blown away by the ring he bought for me. Anyway please don’t be too harsh, I just want a bias opinion.
His salary was the same 3 years ago and I was not there when he picked it out.

When we got married we didn’t have a whole lot of money, my husband got my rings at Walmart’s fine jewelry counter. They were pretty, but about a year later, the diamond came out and I couldn’t find it. Plus the ring is white gold, which I found out breaks me out something fierce. I would love a beautiful wedding set, but we just can’t afford it right now. My husband wears his gold band, but I don’t have a ring, and sometimes I feel bad about it, but then I know that we don’t have the money for a ring for me. A friend of mine says that’s just so weird that I don’t wear a ring, that she would never be married and not wear a ring. I don’t want a cheapo ring again and would rather wait until we can afford what I want. So should I just try to buy a cheap ring again and risk losing the diamond again, or wait? How many of you married women don’t have a ring?
I didn’t mean to sound petty when I made the comment of the cheapo ring, I LOVED my ring, and I love my husband very very much. it’s just sometimes I feel bad for not having a ring.

i have been with my girlfriend for 7yrs now and we have a 1 yr old baby boy i’m 26 yrs old she’s 24 yrs old
i am going to ask her to marry me. i have the ring already .the ring is beautiful when i made the last payment and when he let me hold it. the store owner said that i had just bought an antique wedding and proposal ring. i am going to ask her to marry me but with now money for a decent wedding,like the church. invitation’s,wedding dress. i want her to shine even more on her wedding day, more then she does now just being together. i don’t know how this wedding stuff works? how can i get help with this

breaking up with husband and don’t want to wear it anymore….little too snug to remove now

My husband is coming back from Iraq in a few days. He has been gone 15 months. I have bought him a new wedding ring, bc the ring he has is cheap bc all the money went towards my wedding ring, so I went and bought him a better more expensive one. I was just wondering what are some creative ways I can give him the ring?? Thanks.

My husband is a mechanic, so his gold wedding band is a mess after 7 years of marriage. I appreciate his dedication in that he has worn his ring at work instead of taking it off like his co-workers, sowe ordered a Tungsten titatnium band that should hold up in his profession.

My question is, how do we go about replacing the old one with the new? I mean, the original one has sentimental value. Does he just put the new one on when it comes, or are we supposed to renew our vows? It feels weird just replacing that ring. He has another ring on his right hand that is a family heirloom. His grandpa and dad got married with that ring, and his dad melted down his wedding band into my husband’s initials on the heirloom ring that I put that ring on his hand during our vows. Then I put the original wedding band we picked out on his hand at the end of the aisle. So, we’d save the beat up band to melt into my son’s initials and put on the heirloom ring when marries. What do you think?

My husband said he was going to get me a nice”rock” for our wedding anniversary. My wedding ring is about a 0.30 carat round diamond with 2 baquette rubies on each side of the diamond setting. If when you were married, you couldnt afford the size of diamond almost every woman would love to own, and down the road your husband would like to get you something nice, would you:

A) Replace the smaller diamond you currently have and re-set your wedding band with a larger diamond or,

B) Get a second ring all together? If so, would you wear it on the left hand/finger as your first or on the right hand?

Now keep in mind, my ring is an antique, the band is raised in several areas and the setting is old. The diamond may be rather old. If it was a ring from the store (plain band, etc.) but smaller diamond, would you replace the first diamond?

If I do, this will make the 3rd ring I will have bought her.

She lost the first ring on our honeymoon when she didn’t take it off while we were scuba diving.

I bought the second ring (exact same design, but fewer carats) the day we got back from our honeymoon. We separated a year later and filed for divorce. The second ring disappeared and she doesn’t know where it went.

Now here we are two year after our filing for divorce. We have been reconciling and the divorce has been put on hold. Mother’s Day and our anniversary is coming up soon. While I was thinking of what to get her I was considering getting another wedding ring for her.

To her credit she does not care for or require an expensive ring. She never wanted an engagement ring as she thought it was a waste of money. She hand picked her original ring from Ebay. It cost me about $400. Her second ring was $89 from Walmart. I was embarrassed to give her such a cheap ring, but she cried and was very thankful.

Now that we are working on our relationship and slowly but surely it is starting to resemble a marriage. I was thinking that this doesn’t seem right because neither of us is wearing a ring.

Do you think my wife deserves a 3rd ring, even though it won’t cost me much?
