it's about my wedding set. DH will kill me for even thinking about this...
Anyway, Here is the deal. I have never been happy with how wide both of my rings are. To give perspective, I have a 1.5 center stone, on a 1 carat tw. band, and a wband of 1 ctw. They are so wide together that they are uncomfortable, and especially in this super hot summer, there have been many, many days I haven't been able to wear them together. Very frustrating. I would be happier with 1/2 or 3/4 carat bands, and I would have been from day 1, but never really specified that when ering was made (I know, sooooo naive !!!)
So here are my thought.
1) should I change them at all. (I have had both bands shaved in the back to help with comfort, has helped a little but not really...)
2) I could maybe just get a new wedding band, at about 1/2 ct or 3/4 ct. My jeweler would do this and credit me the difference..I asked once in the passed stillpretty sure about that.
3) remake both rings (same thing, jeweler would credit)
4) stick it out until this bloody hot summer is over
All in all, I think they are really thick rings and I think I would be happier if I changed it. would anyone, downsize, or am I just nutso??????
I will post some pics later tonight.
