OK, so hubby and I finally decided to buy our own wedding ring sets. We had been using his parents’ rings, which they had generously offered to let us use or have when we got married 5 years ago. My set is beautiful...white gold with a 1/3 carat pear-shaped diamond. Both of my rings have a channel setting with tiny diamonds in the bands. Only thing is when we picked the rings up at the store and I put them on, I was like, WHOA, these are a little flashy for my taste. LOL. I know I''m the one who picked them out (I''ll admit I got a little swept away in the sales process), but I''m now having second thoughts. I don''t know if these rings suit my personality and lifestyle. I''ve always been a no-frills, jeans and a T-shirt kind of gal. Never even been into jewelry much. In fact, for years before I got married all I wore was a silver yin-yang ring I got at a street fair. I almost feel like this wedding set is more “special occasion” kind of jewelry. I’d much rather have something I feel comfortable wearing every day.
Keep in mind, this probably isn''t major bling for a lot of women, but for me, the channel setting seems a bit much -- especially when I''m in the sun or in bright lighting, where there''s so much sparkle and dazzle on my finger, it seems overwhelming! I''m thinking about keeping the pear diamond, but going back and checking out plain solitaire bands and plain wedding bands that won''t seem as flashy. Do you think I''m crazy for doing this? Should I just wait a bit (there’s a 30-day return/exchange policy) and see if I get used to them? I feel sort of stupid going back to the store and saying, uh, can I get less bling, please? LOL.
