I know people who have. I think it is okay.
In most cases......
I know a lady who decided after 5 years of
marriage she didnt like her entire bridal set
so her poor man (whom she has wrapped
around her finger) bought her a new set
at an extremely high price. He also bought
3 carat diamond earrings for an anniversary too.
I think this is just a little over the top.
But if you were on a budget at the time of the
proposal, and want to upgrade, great.
My sister lost her engagement ring so he hubby
bought her a replacement one.
Honestly tho, I dont think any ring could ever
replace the one my man proposed with so
even if it cost a million dollars, in my heart
it wouldnt be "my engagement ring" My engagement
ring will always be the one he proposed with.
another thing to consider instead of getting another engagement ring is to buy a beautiful anniversary or
eternity ring that compliments the engagement ring and
makes it look bigger and more beautiful. Then the sentimental
value is still there, along with another beautiful ring.

I know a lot of people have bought new rings for their wives, perhaps they were unable to afford their choice of ring at the time of the engagement and now they can afford to buy what they originally wanted to, I see no issues with upgrading your ring, but I think that if that is going to be done it should be the husband who suggests it rather than the wife demanding it.

it not really traditional to but I'm going to have to because i couldn't find a wedding ring that i liked that went with my engagement ring and i want to wear them both on the same finger (i didn't really think about a wedding ring having to go on the same finger when i got the engagement ring!). How about getting an eternity ring instead of a new engagement ring and wear your engagement ring on a chain around your neck?

You betcha! I didn't get my engagement ring until 5 months after we were married, when I accidentally lost the center stone a few years back, the insurance co. paid for the loss and I got a new center stone, larger and really pretty too. This year, after 5 years of marriage, I finally got the wedding band I have always wanted! It matches my Engagement ring perfectly - all princess stones, my original wedding band, when I took it in for cleaning and inspection, had lost one stone, had 2 loose stones and one that was cracked. It ended up costing us less to get the new ring than it would have to gotten the orignal ring fixed. If you started out with a smaller engagement ring and you want a larger stone now that you are married a while, there is nothing wrong with that, after all, Diamond's are a Girl's best friend. There is never a wrong time to get nice jewelry, so enjoy!! Since my name begins with a D every time hubby does something really bad to hurt me, he buys me a pice of jewlery that is all diamonds, fortunately for him, he is really good to me and I always get what I want!

Yes why wouldn't it be ? I loved my engagement ring when I first had it 10 years ago, but we couldn't afford anything too expensive at the time. I would like to have an expensive unusual ring made in the future (when we can afford it!) and then I will pass it on to my daughter and maybe to any grandaughters I might have.

By definition, it wouldn't be an engagement ring then, would it? It's okay to buy another ring, but the engagement ring has specific meaning and sentimental value.

No. Stick with the original. If you really want some more bling, buy yourself a beautiful right-hand dress ring.

It's not really an enagement ring per say because he's not going to purpose to you again with it. it would just be like an upgrade from the one you already have. my mom has had a few upgrades and such but she's always hung on to the original. so, no, there's really nothing wrong it. She just makes sure it coordinates with her wedding band.

Why do you want to do that?
Keep the original ring, with your wedding ring.
When it comes to an anniversary (like your tenth or 25th), get an enhancer, then get them all soldered together, they look very pretty like that.
