I've got rings on the brain today! How long on average do most women wear their engagement rings?
I guess I'm asking because I've been looking at wedding bands, and I don't want to get a matching set, but if I should be wearing my e-ring for quite sometime, I don't want to get something that's so incompatible that I can't wear both (or both won't actually fit on my finger). Thoughts?
Considering I'm soldering mine together...forever! I don't understand dropping $$ on something that women won't wear daily. Seems silly.
MOst people wear their engagements rings with their wedding band. If you have a band that doesn't match your e-ring then why not wear the e-ring as a right hand ring?
I plan to wear my e-ring for as long as I can slide it on my finger!
Most people I know wear them forever...but that doesn't mean you have to! You could always switch it to your right hand, too, if it doesn't work well with your wedding band. I plan to wear my (not really matching) set together until we have kids, then I'll probably wear the band alone except on special occasions. I'm always bashing my e-ring into things and wouldn't want to risk that with a baby...
Is your engagement ring very unusual looking? Even if it is, I'm sure you can find a non-matching band that will still look great with it, if you want to wear the two together!
i'll be wearing my ring until my child gets married and it's time to pass it on. my fi's mom was wearing it right before she gave it to him to give to me. and so forth until his great grandma. my ring means everything to me, like i said, the only thing reason i'm letting it leave this finger will be for a future child so they can have what i have.
I will be wearing my e-ring with my wedding band forever. I don't plan on taking them off or giving them to my children or anything like that.
My mom wore her engagement ring with her wedding band most of the time (as I remember) and sometimes just wore her wedding band without the engagement ring. But for my parents 20th anniversary they got new matching bands and she doesn't really wear the engagement ring anymore.
One of my criteria for my engagement ring setting was that a band had to be able to sit flush against it. I didn't get a set, but I just found a wedding band that worked with my engagement ring. I plan on wearing them both forever.
Right now I plan to wear mine forever. My mom wore hers until her 20th anniversary when she got an engagement band, and wore that until her 30th when she got a new 3 stone ring. But... she was 17 when she got married and they got the ring she could afford which she never really loved (for any reason other than it was her e-ring). I love my e-ring as is so I see no reason to not wear it forever :)
To be honest - after the wedding, I'll prob only wear the matching band most of the time & wear the set when I feel like it or for weddings, etc. I'd like to think I'll wear my e-ring all the time but I doubt that'll happen. My BFF has a gorgeous set complete with alternating sapphire & diamond eternity band & she mostly wears a simple silver band.
Plus - as my mother says - "You can't wear diamonds & change dirty diapers" LOL
I don't think that this is true for every generation (I'm sure people haven't always done this), but I think these days it's pretty common to wear both rings together... always. I plan to wear mine pretty much every day for the rest of my life, although I will certainly take the e-ring off more often once I have another band there (it's too delicate!). I do know at least one person, though, who wears her e-ring on her right hand now that she's married, but she still wears it everyday.
I plan on wearing mine forever............. it is a bit unique, but I worked with my jeweler to find a diamond wedding band that will fit when it's time. Suprisingly they go perfect together.
Here's the e-ring.........
thanks girls! i like the right hand switchover idea! i think i'll be so shocked and awed and speechless when i do get my e-ring that i probably will never want to take it off!
we haven't looked in to wedding bands yet, but i'm a little afraid my e-ring either doesn't have a band that will match (it's a really unique setting) or i won't like the way the matching band looks...so it depends, but i'll probably wear it on my right hand and get a non-matching band.
I'm going to wear the engagement for special occassions such as dinner parties, etc. until I pass it on to my children when they get married. Most of the time I will only wear my wedding band.
i think i'll be so shocked and awed and speechless when i do get my e-ring that i probably will never want to take it off!
LOL. I always thought I would only wear just a wedding band too but after I got the e-ring, it's never coming off! I was lucky to find a band that fit with the engagement ring, it took a while but well worth it :-)
I will always wear both too, I just love how they look together!
But, I do have a few friends who only rock the band on a daily basis & wear the set for special occasions.
yea fuh-eva!! until maybe if i have grandkids one gets engaged and wants it, but i am sure as heck not offering it and i'll give it with the caveat that it remains in the family. my mom is giving her 1.15 pear shaped diamond ring to my son when it's his time and I am passing on the engagement ring that his dad bought for me, but umm this one will mean everything to me and i never plan on giving it up.... except maybe for the grands or greatgrands... <3
Forever! I wouldn't have let my FI spend money on a piece of jewelry I wasn't going to wear!
I plan on wearing it until it's time to pass the stone on again (it's an heirloom). Then I'll get an upgrade and wear that one.
All the marrieds in my office still wear their full sets - been married anywhere from 2 to 25 years.
I wont ever stop wearing my ring! I dont see the point to stop wearing it, my fiance gave it to me to show his commitment to me. It means a lot to me and im proud to wear it!
my wedding band matches my e-ring and I plan on wearing both until I croak ;)
I plan on wearing my e-ring with my wedding band out in public & at social events...
At work and at home I don't wear my e-ring. I'm always smashing my hands on something... I'm a major clutz. I don't want anything to happen to the stone or the setting so once I'm married I'll get more use out of my wedding band than my e-ring.
I'm having a custom band made and then getting them soldered together :) I have my great-grandma's engagement ring sitting in my jewelry box to pass down so I don't ever have to give up mine!
hmmm i'd like to say i'm going to wear both but because of my job, i might just wear the band when i work, but when i'm not working, will definitely wear the 2 together!!
Um, until it breaks and I need a new one or we hit 25 years and we replace it?
I dont' ever take my ring off. WHy would i? It's too nice and pretty to only wear occassionally. My mom has never not worn her ring and they've been married for 26 years.
Forever!! Unless when I get really old and have grandkids or great-grandkids and want to give it to one of them to get engaged with. Man, that's really scary to think about! ha
I'll wear both since my wedding band was designed around my engagement ring.
I definitely plan on wearing my engagement ring for the rest of my life.
