Do you still wear you original wedding and engagement ring

My ex husband cleared off with someone else. I threw my wedding ring at him.

Well done you!

My first wedding ring was very broad so was taken off washing up and then lost it somewhere so had to replace it . My MIL told me list ring meant broken marriage lol! Then a stone fell out off my engagement ring and the replacement stone spoilt the ring so ended up replacing that too . Still happily together but with new rings

I have worn my wedding and engagement rings happily for nearly 50 years. Wouldn’t want new ones

Still wear both every day since 1963 and 1965. Both have been enlarged. Can't get them off now as fingers have got fatter (like the rest of me). Found the original receipt recently. £59.10shillings for two fairly large diamonds in a twist, set in 18 carat gold
A month's wage then for my DH. So many GNs have had rings stolen. What a shame

Working in a health care setting I was never able to regularly wear my engagement ring. It's too small now so I never wear it.

I still wear my wedding ring which has not been off my finger for such a long time. Although not tight where it is, it will not get over my finger joint so there it stays!

About a year after my husband died, I transferred my wedding and engagement rings to my right hand. I can't imagine ever wanting to not wear them because they're beautiful. I absolutely love them and they are a constant happy reminder of so many good years.
For my last birthday my new love gave me an infinity ring which I now wear on my left hand.

My wedding ring belonged to my mother - she died a few years before I married. I wear it all the time. I was told it was bad luck to take it off but I had to take it off when DD1 was born because my hand swelled. It was cut off at A&E when I had a bike mishap and broke my wrist but it went straight back on asap after being repaired. I usually wear my engagement ring(s) when I go out but always take them off as soon as I get back. I have my own engagement ring, my mother's, two from my grandmothers and one from MIL. I wear them all in turn.

Married 50 years, never worn a wedding or engagement ring.

I'd have sold it and told him it had been melted down for scrap.

Two divorces no idea what happened to either ring can’t even remember what they looked like and a funny story an old man spoke to me as I was leaving the theatre a few years ago and it was only after I was out the theatre that I realised it was ex number two….. well I hadn’t seen him fo 35 years !

I still wear my original wedding ring, 52 years in July, still fits fine. My engagement ring had a very small stone, which fell out eventually and was never replaced. I still have the ring but just keep it in my jewellery box now.

I on my second wedding ring - a thin gold band. My first one was much wider and quite fancy so when enlarged (I got fat) it lost all its pretty pattern. I couldn’t afford to replace with the same quality so just went for a plain band. I had a diamond solitaire engagement ring - very pretty. Many years later I fell in love with a much larger diamond solitaire ring in a local second hand shop. We had some money in those days and my husband bought it for me. I eventually had my original solitaire turned into a necklace that I unfortunately lost on holiday 😢. I often think about my original engagement ring and wish I hadn’t replaced it but I was seduced by something bigger, better and brighter. Lesson learnt.

42 years on I still am!
