I had my wedding ring refashioned to include rubies for my wedding anniversary. I wanted a reminder that I would wear every day and not an extra ring. I love it.

No way would I change my wedding ring. Its been on for 58 years and never been taken off. Same for my engagement ring

I’m not sentimental over rings.
My original was very wide, plain yellow gold. I then swapped that for a much thinner one, but in the late 80’s decided I preferred white metals, so I changed to a narrow white gold band, then as I didn’t want to take my engagement ring on a Nile cruise in 2005, I treated myself to a white gold diamond band, which I’m still wearing.

One thing I would change is my wedding ring.

Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I’ve been married 51 years. Wide rings were fashionable back then, and mine is wide. (Think hula hoop). And although my fingers don’t seem to have changed, I know they must have. In hot weather, I struggle to get my ring on and off, so frequently don’t wear it. But this time of year, it fits well, so am reluctant to have it altered.

So a narrow band would have been more sensible.

Having said all that, I wouldn’t swap DH!
