I have been debating this for a few years in my own head, but maybe I need some opinions. It could be a relationship or Fashion topic, but think relationship might be the better fit.
After my relationship with my sons father ended, I was left with a beautiful diamond engagement ring, diamond band and a men's diamond band.
I would like to trade in the two wedding bands, to have the diamond engagement ring turned into a diamond everyday ring for my right hand. Would this be acceptable? Is there any reason it would be inappropriate or give the wrong impression.
I am not remarried. This would be a ring that would have a 1 carat center diamond. I love this diamond. It is near perfect, certified and complete with a serial number, so I do want to keep the actual diamond. I am just missing wearing it and would rather not have it spend its days locked away.
Or keep it for your son to give to his lady friend one day. Old fashioned but keeps the integrity if the diamond.
I would have said that if the relationship was a happy ending. But as a relationship diamond...I think it is tainted. I want to wear it as an everyday diamond.
It was purchased by trading in my custom made ring from my first marriage, so really it was paid for by my ex husband.

Why then would you want a reminder by wearing it every day?

Emotionally it is not a reminder to me in that sense. I want to turn it into just jewelry. Pretty jewelry. That is it. I want it to have no tie to a relationship. I still have hopes of one day meeting a husband and receiving an engagement ring for my left hand. But for now I miss wearing rings, and it seems silly to have something so beautiful not being worn.

More power to you to be able to not make that affect you, it would be different for me as a man.
I hope that you find him or he finds you, but maybe it'll be a gem ring instead j/k.

Tell me more. How would it be different? Would it bother you if a woman you were dating already had a pretty diamond ring she wore everyday? Would it make it awkward to propose?
This is the part I am really lost on. I can easily change the ring within a few weeks at the local jeweler, but the other issues are important in future relationships. I would not want to offend a future husband.

Sorry, I should of expanded my sentence to include if I had a ring from a previous bad relationship/marriage that I couldn't wear any part of it every day.
To reply to your post, it wouldn't bother me what jewelry she was wearing although if I knew it was from a previous relationship that might put in question if she was still thinking about "him" even though if she stated what you stated about using the diamond.
Of course there's nothing wrong with refashioning the ring or reusing the stone into something you can wear.
I assume you would change the style? If not, and it's still going to look like an engagement ring, why bother, just wear it or resize, if necessary so it fits on your right hand.
If some new guy can't believe you when you tell him it's just a pretty inanimate object that you like, then he may be too insecure to bother with.
I'm a little confused. Were you married? Also, how did you end up with his wedding band? I guess I'm with "lol", I think it's kind of tacky. Sell it and use the money to buy a ring without a history behind it.
