Wedding Ring regret

[MissDutch]

I kind of regret my wedding ring choice (photo attached). When shopping for it, I thought this was really what I liked, something plain and a thinner band as I have small hands and fingers. A few months after my wedding I’m wondering whether I now save for a new one. This one wasn’t cheap although it’s plain and platinum, it was from a reputable company so I don’t want to throw money down the drain either. I feel like a thicker diamond band would’ve looked better. What are everyone’s thoughts?

I think it’s lovely, particularly as a set. You could add an eternity ring later for a ‘wider’ effect?

Honestly though, it’s lovely 🥰

Agree - lovely - it’s your wedding ring so you’ll love it for that symbolism - and what a fab reason to embrace an eternity ring (or two) for future significant events whatever they may be - even a one year anniversary if you can’t wait. You’ve given yourself options to add to it like you did when adding to the engagement ring so enjoy watching that evolve!

Agree, it’s lovely 🥰

Very elegant. I would keep it but if you want more bling add an eternity ring.

I think what you have looks lovely 😍

It's lovely my DD has a very similar engagement and wedding ring and said the same thing at the weekend. I said she should add an eternity ring at some stage

Beautiful and very classy looking.

Nothing could replace my simple wedding ring. The blessing of the rings before God was unexpectedly spiritual and symbolic. My wedding ring isn't bling, it's a symbol of our love and the sanctity of marriage. As special now as almost 35 years ago.

It is beautiful and allows your engagement ring to be a show stopper.

I agree with @rockty That you could get an eternity ring at a later date.

The one thing I woukd day is will a "new" ring feel disappointing when you look at it and realise it wasn't the ring your husband/wife gave you on the day, it wasnt part of your vows, wedding etc?

It's not costume jewellery though is it? It's the ring you took your vows with. That makes it special. A new ring will be meaningless.

Wait for an eternity ring and plan one that will work with those two.

I think it should be slightly wider if I'm honest.
Im not convinced that a wedding ring always has to be the one from the actual wedding - it symbolises the commitment but that's true whether you wear the one from the wedding or a different one. I mix and match my 'wedding rings' depending on the whether my fingers have swollen a bit in the summer - I'm still just as married!

But it's the ring you were actually married with, so a replacement will never be as good. It's a perfectly nice, traditional ring....having a wedding ring set with diamonds is a very new trend, after all.

I really like it! It’s similar to mine, I don’t like massive rings and thick bands. I think it’s classic and beautiful. As others have said you can always add an eternity ring with more bling in the future

Delicate and beautiful. Funnily enough I was having lunch with my mother and her friend recently and I couldn't stop looking at how wide their wedding bands were - looked really weird-both married late 1960's!

I think it maybe should be slighter wider more in balance with your gorgeous engagement ring, (I also have a slim wedding ring) but I wouldn’t ever want to change my wedding ring.

Like others have said add an eternity ring to the set at a later stage and it will balance out perfectly.

I think your rings look so beautiful together. I also chose a plain dainty wedding band, as I knew one day I'd want to add a diamond eternity ring and knew the plain band would even them all out

Oh no it's perfect . So shiny and pure , looks elegant and classy . Sets off your lovely engagement ring .

If you change it for something that's more fashionable then that will eventually date too. Unless you're planning to change your ring every 10 years then stick with the one you were actually married with. Surely it's more important to keep the one you used for your vows.

I think it’s perfect. Its simplicity goes really well with the more ornate engagement ring 🤩
I would see this as a symbol of promising to be together through the magical, memorable days, and the less eventful and sparkly ‘everyday days’ too.
Some days maybe you’ll look down at your rings and think ‘Yeah it’s a diamond day’ or ‘It’s a normal cloudy Tuesday’ and you’ll remember the vows you made for all of them to be platinum for each other 🥰

I love it. It looks very classy.

Surely it's more important to keep the one you used for your vows.

A wedding ring is a symbol of commitment, not a magic amulet. People who change to a different ring don't suddenly file for divorce or start sleeping with the milkman.

I love it.

A diamond band would detract from the detail of your engagement ring.
