I love my oval halo engagement ring and was thinking about repacing the center stone with a pink stone, but then wondered if I would really wear it.   I also have two diamond bands.  I really like the rings but maybe they just need to go away?  What would/did you do with your wedding set?  Thanks!

Hi @autumnnj .. I had a pendant made out of the diamonds from my engagement ring and wedding band.

Mine was a 5 stone band ring, I still sometimes wear it, as is or stacked, on my right hand.

There are many options, with the price of gold, you could trade it in and upgrade to something more appropriate for you.    I'm saving mine for our daughter.

I sold mine, did not want any bad vibes from that time in my life.

I'm not divorced, but my mom took the diamonds in her wedding ring when she divorced my father and had them used for earrings for me.

@autumnnjWould you wear it as a right-hand ring? I'd probably try that a few times just as it is before I'd have a different stone set in.

I'd probably find I could wear it as is.  As for those bands -  I'd also wear those on my right hand -  could you use them to stack with a band of colored stones between?

But this advice comes from a wearer who bought a diamond band to wear on her right hand years after she divorced.  It's still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!  Of course, mine has no connection to my ex, no bad memories attached.

I had the diamonds removed and set into a cocktail style ring from my first marriage.

I looked into selling my rings. Jeweler suggested to hold on to them unless and until I needed to sell them. My wedding band is a beautiful 18k/ invisible set princess cut diamond ring. I wear it from time to time on my right hand. Matching setting for my solitaire. I do not wear that ring as the solitaire mountng needs to be repaired and I do not feel like spending the $ on it.

If you like the setting on your engagement ring I like the idea of replacing the center store with the gemstone of your choice.

Sadly, marriage is not always forever, but good, beautiful jewelry should be!

took the diamonds out and sold the gold to the jeweler......who gave me an in store credit. i then bought something i really wanted.

I love my wedding set, but it does scream "wedding set!!!".  If I were to divorce (), I'd get the whole thing reworked into some other ring.  I'd hate to waste those diamonds and gold!
