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

[Ringbearer]

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

Thank you everyone, lots to think about. I think it might have some hurt feelings wrapped up in it.

One reason, among many, is we've had to sort out a parent's estate recently which had thrown into focus sorting out our own stuff.

My mum also went through her extensive jewellery, telling me every purchasing decisions. "And then we only just made it back to the cruise ship" and it left me absolutely cold. I'd left home when most was bought and was absolutely skint. My parents visible affluence although I was happy for them and they'd worked hard was a big unrelatable wedge.
I'll never wear my mum's jewellery but maybe I would have enjoyed it, worn more as a younger woman. (Or sold it for an amazing bass bin)

So I was thinking maybe I should hand on the pretty rings sooner so they come out of the box and get enjoyed.

Off to find the tolerating marriages thread! In this case, it's not all bad, it just is what it is, which does sound rather flat.

Def wait until they are older. My mum gave me a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring that was her old engagement ring (my dad got her an upgrade) and it was not only expensive but sentinel value and I was only 17 when she gave it to me. I lost it on a night out. I felt awful and to be fair, mum took it really well but that's not the point. I'm wasn't old enough to appreciate the value or sentimental value.
