Hi Everyone,
I've been married almost two years and had my ring for 3, and I do not like the ring. What should I do?
My husband got my ring in Greece, where he proposed to me in an incredibly romantic way. However, I was disappointed as soon as I saw the ring. In fact, I cried. It's not terrible, but there's nothing I like about it. It is .7 carats and D color, so needless to say he could have gotten a much larger ring for the same price. I believe he spent about $6,000 on it, including the band.
The bans was way too big for me, but we had to have a US jeweler resize it (we didn't have time to resize it it Greece). I took it to several jewelers, and they said it was over priced, poorly made, and no one seemed to like it. We tried to return it, but the Greek jeweler wouldn't take it back. We had it fixed and resized, but I still don't like it. I've gotten so few complements on it--my bachelorette party was at a drag show and the drag queens made fun of it.
Anyway, what should I do? My husband was very upset and not understanding about the ring. Should I stop wearing it? Suggest resetting it for a future engagement gift? Or is there a way to talk about upgrading a ring with your husband that won't hurt his feelings?
The whole thing just makes me sad.
