I don't think what to do with my engagement rings, I was going to get married in June But 5 months ago my fianc茅 was in a car accident that day I lost my best friend, An I loved him so much we where together for 8 years. Now I have a very special engagement ring he made for me, it has 6 of the women on his fathers side there diamonds from there engagement rings on it. An 6 of the women of his mothers side there diamonds on it an a diamond he bought for me i know it means a lot to his family. I don't know what to do with the ring, I've talked with both his grandmothers an they both said to keep it that its mine. There is no one else to have the ring he made for me he was the only child. If I keep it could I wear it still? Even if someday I find someone?Need some Advice about my engagement rings? I don't know what to do with them?
Wear it for now. I know if my fiance died I would keep mine on for a long time (perhaps forever, who knows). If his grandparents want you to keep it, do. Someday, if you want, you can have the stones reset into a necklace or a right hand ring if you feel it is time to or even someday if you find love and have children maybe they could use it for an engagement ring and can continue the lovely tradition of keeping the stones going.Need some Advice about my engagement rings? I don't know what to do with them?
he gave the ring to you .. i would continue to wear it and its not like you didn't ask his family first if they wanted it .. they also want you to keep it so continue to wear it .. i would wear it on my left hand still too .. when you found someone else you could explain the situation and when it gets more serious or when you feel more comfortable not wearing it on your finger switch hands or wear it on a chain ..thats what i would do
I am so sorry about your loss! I would keep the ring. If he made it especially for you. Why would you want to get rid of it? It鈥檚 a Symbol of his love to you. He is now gone but at least you have a piece of him forever. And if you do get married in the future put away as a keepsake what harm can it do!! . It just might bring you happiness since you couldn't have it with him!!
Again I am sorry for you loss.
Take care!!
What a beautiful story. I think it would be lovely to keep the memory of him with that ring. If there is no one to pass it to then keep it for sure.
If it bothers you too much, what about a close cousin of his?
wear it on the ring finger of your right hand. and anyone in the future that is worth anything will understand the significance of your ring.
Personally I would wear it until I felt I was ready to move on, then I would probably wear it around my neck on a chain. To me that is the saddest thing, to find true love and lose it in that manner. God bless you!
it's now your ring. wear it when you want to. wear it for special occasions. if/when you meet someone else and become engaged then use your current ring as right hand ring.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Keep and cherish the ring. Where it on your right hand in remembrance of him. It was a token of his love. I am sorry for your loss. Bless you hun.
You can take the ring to a jeweler and design it into a necklace. Then when you wear it he will always be close to your heart..
I would say keep it, but wear it on your right hand. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
Oh, hun, I'm so sorry. You must be so heartbroken.
I think any grandmother in this circumstance, with no other grandchildren, would desperately want you to have the ring: they know you loved him and they know how much pain you're in and they would want you to have that ring more than anything on Earth. They'd also want you to grieve, and they'd know that having the ring would help.
Keep the ring and wear it however you want - nobody else's opinion matters. When a new man comes along, you may choose to put that ring away or you may choose to wear it on another finger in memory.
I would suggest that you consider passing the ring on to your oldest child when he or she becomes engaged, if that happens in the fullness of time (and I hope it does, if that's what you want). Let his memory and his family's memories pass on that way. He loved you so much, and I think he would rejoice to know that you had made a new life and that your children remembered him in some way, if only by a ring.
First, I'm sorry about your loss--I couldn't imagine. Keep it. Wear it. You might want to wear it on your right hand when you're ready to date again. Explain to anybody you get serious with how important it is to you and decide for yourself if you wish to continue wearing it. Anybody you date in the future will have to accept that you never stopped loving your fiance (and you will probably have to help him understand if he can't at first.)
I think Paul McCartney wore his wedding ring (from Linda) during his relationship with Heather (until they were married). I'm not sure if he has returned to wearing it again or not.
In any case, treasure the ring. It sounds lovely and will be a token of his love for you.
Do you like the ring? After me and my fiance split years ago, I still wore the ring on my finger simply because I loved it. Now I understand that he was killed in a car accident and it''s a terrible thing, but hun he had that ring made for you and him as a sign/promise that you guys were going to get married within the near future and he was taken unexpectedly from you and other family members. To be honest, I wouldn't try to give it back to his family and his grandmothers seem right on point when they are telling you to keep it. It was obviously something that he wanted you to have. There is nothing wrong with wearing it even if you do end up with someone. If you find someone that loves you for who you are, there is no reason for them to be upset about you still wearing the ring, however if you do end up with someone, I wouldn't recommend wearing it on your left hand, switch it over to the right. He seems like he was a really big piece of your life and there is absolutely no reason for you not to wear the ring. I have a friend that lost her fiance about 4 years ago. They had been together since we were in middle school (We've been out of high school for 9 years) and she still wears her ring and in fact she still wears it on her left hand. She actually told a guy not too long ago to take a hike if he didn't like her wearing it, because it was special to her and the guy that gave it to her will always hold a special place in her heart and so did the ring. The fact that it came from all his family makes it even more special. I really feel sorry for you about losing him. No one should have to go through something like that. I wish you all the best of luck and keep your head up, he would want you to. :o)
