Three days ago I lost my beloved and cherished wife suddenly and without warning to pneumonia at age 68. I still have not removed my wedding band and have no intention of doing so. I consider myself still married to her and always will. She didn't want an engagement ring but adored the clear and black diamond wedding band I gave her. It's now suspended by a long chain around my neck so it's next to my heart where it will remain until I join her.
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.
So any thoughts?
I know several women who had their wedding/engagement jewelry re-designed

Sorry for your loss. Although she no longer physically surround you, but you can be assure that her energy still revolve around you. Think about what makes us who we are. The flesh and blood we have is a way for us to get around and communicate, but when that physical body deteriorate, it doesn't mean the thought is no longer there. I believe it takes energy to form thoughts, and I don't think energy would ever fade or simply vanish.
I see nothing wrong with it. Hopefully any future prospective husband will not think that he needs to compete with that diamond, if he isn't able to offer you a comparable one.

And that would be one of my concerns. I would not want any future husband to feel that way, nor would I expect an equivalent ring.

I'm so very sorry for your loss
My mom passed away almost 5 years ago. My dad still wears his wedding band and mom's ring is on a chain around his neck and the same as you, will remain there until he joins her.
