I was thinking about this the other night as I was driving home from work – which would you be more upset about loosing? Your E-Ring or your Wedding Band?
The cost to replace my e-ring would be 10x what it would be to replace my wedding band, but I think I would be much more upset about loosing the later. Obviously I’d be upset about loosing either (and probably in a whole heap of trouble 🙂 ) but having to wear a replacement wedding band would somehow feel wrong to me.

Ahh so hard to pick!! Like you, replacing my e ring would be exponentially more expensive, but my wedding band has more sentimental value. I would be devastated either way for sure! I guess I would rather lose my wedding band, since that’s more easily replaced…

Sentimentally I’d have to say my wedding band, but logistically it’d have to be my e-ring. My Wedding band is an enhancer around my e-ring, so it’d look pretty funny on my hand by itself. Plus, if they got lost they’d probably both be lost together, since the e-ring fits in between the two pieces of my wedding band. 🙁

My e-ring to me symbolizes the start of our family to come. We spent months working together to design the perfect ring. I hope to some day be able to pass it down to my grandchildren or great grandchildren.
With that being said I have a beautiful 3ct wedding band that I absolutely love and would still be devestated if I lost it.

I’ve had to wear just my e-ring for almost 2 years now. I can’t wait to be able to wear it’s other part, the wedding band. I think I would be far more devastated to lose my wedding band. It will still be so new and exciting and if I lose it I would bawl.

I have to say Engagement Ring. for us the night we got engaged, was also the night we bought our house. so there are alot of other memories of us starting our life together in my Engagement Ring.

I don’t have my wedding band yet (getting married 7/9/11), but we are using diamond’s from my grandma’s ring plus two additional diamonds we are purchasing. Because of the diamond’s and everything the ring itself symbolizes, I think I would be more upset over the lost of the wedding band.

My e-ring because the diamond is a family heirloom.

@roxy821: 3ct wedding band?? I would love to see it!!!!!
I think I would be devastated if I lost my wedding band. I’m getting married in 2 weeks, and I’m more crazed about wearing that ring than I ever was about getting an engagement ring. I even told my Fiance, once I get my wedding band, I probably won’t wear my engagement ring a whole lot. My engagement ring I take off when I sleep/clean/cook. I will NEVER take off my wedding band.

i would absolutely be devastated if i were to have lost the wedding band. it’s the symbol of our vows; on the flip side, my e-ring is also a promise that DH made me and would be $$$$$ to replace…

If you haven’t already, get insurance on your e-rings! 🙂

I’d have to say I’d be heartbroken if I lost my e-ring. It was custom designed by my fiance, and would be really hard and expensive to re-create. I absolutely love my wedding band and all that it symbolizes, but we bought it from Brilliant Earth, so it would be much easier to replace. And then we could always have a vow renewal to re-bless our wedding rings. 🙂

My e-ring is a family diamond, my hubby’s great grandma’s. I know it means a lot to his family (his mom freaked out when we sent it away to fix a chip in it), and it means a lot to me, so I would feel awful if I lost it.
Of course I wouldn’t want to lose my wedding band either, but I could easily go back to the place that i bought it, spend a couple hundred, and have the same exact thing.

I love seeing everyones choices – its so interesting! I guess to me, although my e-ring represents a promise, my wedding band more-so represents ‘us’ since we each have one. Plus, if I had to choose one I would rather have the one that meant I was married, than the one that meant I was engaged.
