I was just wondering what ladies here have gotten an anniversary band or upgrade? I know alot of women (at least that I know) throw flack towards anyone who does this. Calling them selfish or materialistic! & I just don't understand why! When my husband proposed to me the ring was sterling silver (because that is what he could afford at the time.) We knew we wanted to get married & didn't want to wait any longer to have my dream ring. We could afford getting our own place & starting a life together, so we did! We always had the intentions on upgrading later on. So after being married over a year & with getting our refund back we decided it was time. After looking long & HARD at many rings, many sites online, many stores I finally decided. I told my husband & he was THRILLED with my decision & it works perfectly for us! Instead of upgrading my engagement ring (which btw I no longer wear but do keep in a box & plan to always keep) get an anniversary band to wear with my plain YG wedding band! I wanted to do this because out of all of the gorgeous e-rings I saw I couldn't pick one that would feel like my e-ring. But I can most certainty see how one could. This just worked better for me & my husband.

So please ladies tell me about your upgrades or anniversary bands! The story doesn't have to be about not being able to afford the size you wanted at the time. Some ladies just want bigger bling later on, no harm in that!!! Share with me & let me know there ARE other ladies out there who do this! & Also let me know what do people think when you tell them or when they see your upgrade or anniversary band!

Also share pictures if you would like, before/after or just upgrade itself!
