Engagement rings.... do you still have the same one?

[Ta Ta 1]

My engagement ring has a diamond from the Sierra Leone diamond mine and is from the soil of my sweethearts home land......never ever would I consider upgrading it....it can't be upgraded because of the enorm sentimental value. It has a custom made gold band with designs. I love it !!!

i guess i'll be one of the only ones to say we definitely plan on upgrading!!!!!!!! in moroccan tradition the man buy's the woman and himself an engagement ring..... so his will stay the same but mine we will upgrade for sure. i don't care about having a huge 3 carat blahblahblah but i do want to have something i really like on my finger if im going to wear it the rest of my life.

Lots of people are responding that they wouldn't upgrade.

Is this because of sentimental value to the original engagement ring, or financial reasons?

I really like my ring, which we bought together in Morocco. But the metal for the band is so thin that the band reshapes very easily and I've lost a stone twice, and only had the ring 7 months. So my fiance said we will choose one before the wedding that will last a lifetime. I will wear the original rings for special occaisions.

We don't have nor intend to have engagement rings. Just the wedding ring.

After I explained our custom K said he will give me a ring when I come to see him in May. I don't care if it's a Baggie twist tie, I will wear it forever or until it falls off! I am wearing a cheap little agate pendant that he gave me on the day we met - I will never take that off either since it will always remind me of that special day.
