10 Reasons to Upgrade your Wedding Ring!

Ten Reason to Upgrade Your Wedding Ring Now!
- You don’t like your original design. Perhaps you got a simple solitaire and thought that was the ideal engagement ring but now you like the princess cut. Makes sense.
- Your taste in gold has changed. Thirty years ago, I was all about traditional yellow gold. As I got older, my taste changed and now all my jewelry is white gold. Except my engagement ring.
- You’ve hit a milestone. Perhaps you’ve had a baby after 10 years of trying. Or maybe your youngest child has just left the nest. Celebrating your 20th anniversary? Why not upgrade your ring?
- Your old engagement ring has a lot of wear and tear. Sure, your ring might last for decades, but that doesn’t mean it’s looking its best. And since this is one of the most important pieces of jewelry you’ll ever own, don’t you want it to?
- It doesn’t fit properly. I don’t mean it’s a little loose, either. Perhaps you lost 100 pounds and now your finger has gone down two full sizes. Sure, you *could* get your engagement ring re-sized (if that’s possible with the ring you currently have), but why not take this opportunity to upgrade? You know you want to.
- You want a bigger diamond. Don’t be afraid to say it. Many of us want the biggest diamond possible. There’s no shame in that. Heck, I do.
- You lost your engagement ring. Hey, it happens.
- Your original engagement ring isn’t real. If you’re wearing a CZ on your ring finger, it’s time for an upgrade.
- You want it to marry up to your wedding ring. Sometimes people don’t have a matching bridal set — it’s true — and they’d like to have a set that goes together.
- You can afford it. For many of us, our engagement ring was bought when we were young and not terribly stable financially, so we got the ring we could afford at the time. As we grow older, our situation changes, so why not get an engagement ring that reflects that?
All these rings are from the Endless Brillance Collection from Zales.

When my hubby and I got married, he proposed with a Funyun. We were broke, we keep saying we’re going to get me a ring but life keeps happening. I have a wedding band, but I’d love to have something pretty!
Cheryl Everitt says
Oh my! These are really good reasons to upgrade my wedding rings, but I think sentiment rules.
Cathy Jarolin says
I see nothing wrong in updating your wedding ring! We did that but we used the original diamond . It was my Husband’s idea. He took it and suprised me with a Beautiful Mothers Ring and Wedding ring all combined! It even had mine and my husbands Birthstone in it.. Love it!!

I like it. I’m going to show this article to my sister in preparation for her anniversary.

I am having trouble watching your last 2 videos?? They tell me This Video is Private! Oh Well I think its awesome to upgrade your Wedding Ring for all 10 of the reasons you stated. However if your Husband designed your wedding ring which includes his, mine & our Childrens Birthstones. I wouldn’t upgrade for the World..

Love to upgrade my ring thanks for the advice
Shawna says
I don’t want to upgrade my wedding ring because it’s perfect for me, but I’ve seen wedding rings that if I had, I would want to upgrade. Sometimes people just can’t get the wedding ring they truly want and so I think upgrading later when one can makes good sense.
Sarah L says
Well, since both your kids graduated this year I think that’s a reason to upgrade your ring.
Shelley Zurek says
Nice Rational Sarah! Shelley

It is well worth upgrading your ring. I have done it in the past-quite a while ago. My husband thought if I wanted another ring I should get another husband but I upgraded the ring anyway.
Kristina Potter says
Nope, I would not upgrade. I would keep my wedding ring, and accept another such as an anniversary band!!!

I don’t have a wedding ring, this is an opportunity to ask the hubby for one thanks
