My family owns a jewelry store, and I work there full time. I handle the inventory and see everything that comes through. My fiancee told me to keep an eye out for a wedding band I liked, since we are getting married next year. We’ve already discussed that I probably will just wear my wedding band after we’re married and save my engagement ring for special occasions (my engagement ring is huge for everyday wear, and I’m going to ruin the sapphire center stone wearing it all the time).
So the other day an absolutely beautiful 1920′s platinum and diamond eternity band came in. It’s really petite (and comfortable on my finger), the diamonds are small, but I just love it, it’s perfect. Very pretty, very nice materials (you can’t beat platinum and diamonds), and understated just like I like. My fiancee thinks it’s too small, and says he’d feel bad getting it for me. I don’t know what is going through his head, but in no way have I ever indicated I’d like some monstrosity on my finger for the rest of my life. I think he still thinks because my dad has a jewelry store, that I need big jewels on my finger.
How do i gently explain to him once and for all, I’m happy with pretty and simple? He knows me, I have exactly 5 pieces of jewelry I keep at home and wear regularly, a pair of plain hoops, the diamond studs he got me, a small bangle, my engagement ring and another ring with my grandma’s diamond. That’s it. The rest of my jewelry stays locked in the vault in the jewelry store, I don’t ever wear it. I don’t get where this "it’s too small" stuff is coming from? I mean, he also know this, that I think its so tacky these women with giant engagement rings and giant wedding bands that look so uncomfortable to wear because they’re so wide and thick. I screams "I married him for his money". Not exactly the image I’d like to portray……….
My family adores him and he knows it. In fact my dad and fiancee go out hunting and fishing all the time. My dad is proud that his son in law will be a intelligent responsible man. I can’t be sure (he’d never admit it), but I suspect he for whatever reason is worried I’ll leave him. So I think he likes to get me nice things to "keep me with him". I have never met a person I’d like to be with more than him, we fit together perfectly. And again, it’s a suspicion because i can’t figure out where it’s coming from. When I met him, he wasn’t even in college, dead broke with no job living with his mom. I loved him then, as much as I love him now that he has a college education and a good job. It baffles me.

Ok, I will show you 6 poems.
Lets go.
Title:Bumps In The Road
There are bumps on the road of eternity.
You can drive over the bumps.
Death is a pothole on the road.
You can drive over that too.
A short stretch of eternity road.
Bumps, then a pothole.
When you reach that pothole,
The car of your life will be shaken and changed.
The car of my life will crash and stall.
And then slowly start up again.
You were my everything.
You shared a part of my heart.
This is just a pothole on a long long road,
And when I reach that pothole,
Our cars will be together again.
Forever.
Title: Seasons
Spring.
Gardening.
Picking flowers.
Playing in the Park.
Wandering around the town.
Creating Everlasting memories of joy and hope.
Summer.
Playing in the sandbox.
Blowing bubbles.
Popping them together.
Making me laugh.
Creating Everlasting memories of joy and hope.
Autumn.
Raking the yard.
Jumping in piles of leaves.
Dancing with Bozo. (her dog)
Creating Everlasting memories of joy and hope.
Winter.
Making a snowman.
Eating the nose.
Throwing snowballs.
Making snow angels.
Creating Everlasting memories of joy and hope.
Seasons pass.
But they stay the same.
Because we are always,
Creating Everlasting memories of joy and hope.
Title: Thank You
For the 14 years I’ve known you,
I never got a chance,
To thank you for all you do.
You bring me up when I’m down,
Showed me the world, all around.
Thank you for doing that for me.
You taught me sports,
And how to ride a bike,
You hugged me when I was scared at night,
Thank you for doing that for me.
There are several other deeds like that you’ve done,
I thank you for all,
But there’s one more thing I need to thank you for,
That’s happened since before I could crawl.
I thank you for loving me,
My entire life through,
I just wanted to say,
I love you too,
and thank you for doing that for me.
Title: The Lever
I want you here,
I need you here,
I just gotta find a way to keep you here.
Life is not eternal,
Nobody lasts forever,
You just stay until God pulls that lever.
Then life just goes away,
But your soul will still be with me,
Right here with me to stay.
I can’t let you go,
Your time isn’t up.
I’ll miss all those times I called,
just to ask what’s up.
I should’ve seen this coming,
I don’t want to face the truth,
that life is not eternal,
and nobody lasts forever,
You just get to stay until God pulls that lever.
And when it’s pulled,
On your final day,
When your time is up,
I’m going to miss all of those times,
When i called to ask what’s up.
Life is not eternal,
Nobody lasts forever,
But God, I’m asking you,
Please don’t pull that lever.
Title: The Bond Is Left UnBroken
Things happen.
People change.
People leave.
But the bond between us is unbroken.
The hills,
in the meadow of life,
were conqured,
without the bond being broken.
It needs no repairs,
A band-aid was never needed.
Death is a mountain in the meadow of life.
But our bond will be left unbroken.
Title: Memories
That day might be coming.
Your sickness is still here.
I look back on the memories,
You have created for me.
Playing with Bozo, (her dog)
Jumping in piles of leaves,
Talking just to talk,
Hating to leave.
Tennis, just for fun,
Playing in the sandbox,
Every day from noon to one,
Sitting out in the sun.
Learning to ride a bike,
Going to the spring festival,
A yearly yardsale, me and you,
A hug whenever your around.
Splashing in the pool,
Tubing down a mountain,
Skiing at Whitetail,
Loving all humanity.
These memories are wonderful,
But there are some I treasure more.
The simplest memories,
The most un-expected ones.
Those silent rainy days,
When we just sat inside,
Talking and laughing,
Those days were my pride.
Those weird, akwward moments,
When we just sat and stared,
And then we’d burst out laughing,
Showing that we cared.
And another of my favorites,
An unsuspected one,
Sitting watching westerns.
Even though we both hated them.
These memories I will treasure,
They will be stored deep in my heart.
Every moment with you,
Created a memory for two.

My husband and I eloped about a year ago. I bought him a cheap ring and we discussed originally that when we had an actual ceremony we would buy each other nice rings. We decided recently to forgo the idea of a grand wedding. But for my birthday he bought be a beautiful eternity band. I told him I wanted to buy him a nice ring and he refused. He absolutely loves the one he had because it "means something" and I gave it to him. Well that is nice and all but truthfully his ring looks terrible now. Which is expected since I payed less than 50 for it. So long story short I want to buy him a nice ring for our one year anniversary but I want him to actually wear it. Any suggestions on how to do this tactfully?

I have a gold 1 carat 3 stone engagement ring (past, present and future) and I am in need of help finding a wedding band that fits this style. I have tryed on plain bands, enhancers, bands with diamonds in them and none of them seem to be what I want. I seen a design of bands in a magazine called an "eternity band." We got my engagment ring at Zales and they didn't have any of these bands in their store. Does anyone know any good websites, not Ebay, that sells these, preferably gold?

I lost my wedding rings while Christmas shopping last year, they were never recovered. We are thinking of replacing them with a three stone band, but I am curious, those of you with them out there, do you wear it alone, or do you wear a plain or eternity band with it? Just wearing the one ring seems kind of "wrong" to me, I think the wedding band has a lot of symbolism, but I would like to hear your opinion. I know many of you will say, "its up to your own personal taste" so preference will be given to those that have actual experience with wearing it one way or the other.

I’ve been having the most difficult time with my rings sliding around my finger. My wedding band is a 1/2 eternity band (diamonds only on the front, metal around the back) and when it slides, it doesn’t look nice because the metal band is scratched and dull (lots of wear and tear!). My engagement ring has three diamonds on either side of the main diamond in the middle…so when they are both aligned, it looks nice. Problem is, they hardly ever stay aligned to look that nice!! 
So, has anyone gotten their rings banded (soldered?) together? Yay or nay??
