To give my wedding & eternity ring to the teens when I'm not divorced.

25 years married, DH is not the celebrating kind. I have my wedding ring (not a plain band) and a matching ring I got made and paid for after having the kids. I don't wear either on my fat fingers so they sit in a box.
I have very few other bits, nothing as valuable.
I don't feel much attachment to any of it only a bit of sadness that it wasn't accompanied by grand emotional words.

Should I pass them on to my DDs, 20 & 17 now or wait till they are a bit older.

YABU yes, madness & hurtful to give to teens
YANBU let the girls enjoy the sparkles now

Why would you think you should give them now? It wouldn’t occur to me to give them away instead of getting them resized.

This is going to sound weird but passing things down before you're dead seems like an invitation to the grim reaper to me.

They'll treasure it more when you're dead so I'd save it
