Do you have an anniversary coming up? We used our 20th anniversary to “upgrade” - avoiding any hurt feelings and gives you an answer when people ask.
Rising Star
Our five year is this year. I’m also celebrating a significant career change and looking at a (hopefully!) very nice bonus this summer, which is one of the reasons I was thinking about doing it now. I wear really simple jewelry otherwise, so unless I got gold hoops, I wouldn’t buy myself a different piece of jewelry.
How long have you had the original engagement ring?
Rising Star
Six years, so it hasn’t been too long. The alternative is doing a plain gold band I can wear sometimes when I want everything to match - the stone would purely be an indulgent present for myself.
Did he pick the original ring out by himself?You say you’ve mentioned it ‘a few times.” What was the reaction?
Seems like the five year anniversary would be a great time! Tastes change, and you wear it every day, so I wouldn’t feel bad at all! I love that he is supportive of you doing what you want to do (my partner is the same). Seems like he will understand this, especially if you explain that you love your original engagement ring but your tastes have changed, and it’s not personal. Considering you are not asking for a bigger diamond and going Moissanite, this seems perfectly reasonable to me. (That’s assuming it’s financially smart for you guys, which I’m assuming it is since you said cost isn’t an issue.)
I wear more yellow gold in the summer and platinum in the winter.
What I've been doing is just wearing one of my yellow gold rings with rubies in place of my engagement ring/ wedding band. I've also been toying with the idea of designing a ring in yellow gold with a small diamond I inherited from my grandmother.
In my case, I don't think my husband feels offended (and honestly haven't even mentioned it to him) because I still wear my engagement ring a lot.
I have also mentioned the idea of getting a new ring with a fake diamond for when we travel so I don't have to worry about it getting stolen/ lost. He hasn't seemed offended.

I don’t have anything gold to wear in place of this - if I don’t get a ring with a stone I will definitely be getting a plain gold band. I don’t have a separate wedding band, so I was already planning on doing that for travel anyways!
I upgraded my diamond ring to a moissanite. I love it, and my husband was fine with it because it made me happy :) I highly recommend Starsgem moissanite

Thanks! I was looking at Charles and Colvard, I’ll look into Starsgem!
