Is it tacky to rework a family ring into a wedding ring?

I do not think it is tacky at all, in fact I think it will give the wedding ring even more meaning. I would let your boyfriend know about the ring and perhaps you can hand it to him and allow him to decide how the stones will be placed in the ring he gives you. I do not like when women take a ring that a man has picked out and chosen and have it changed.It defeats the purpose.

The ring symbolizes your love and it is a gift. I think women should realize it is the meaning behind the ring and not the size of the diamond.

Dear Furture Ring Reworker: Your comment using these words "future fiancé" implies you are not engaged. You asked, "Do you think my future fiancé would mind if I did that (reworded a family ring into a wedding ring)? " Why don't you wait until you are with your future fiancé and share with him your wishes?

He may love the idea. He may have sometime else in mind for you. He may have a ring handed down by his great-grandmother with 4 carats in diamond and emeralds that he would like to rework into an engagement or wedding ring for you.

Good Luck! Sherrie Rose The Love Linguist®.

It would depend on the fiance. I think if it's something you really want to do, you aren't well suited to a man who would find it "tacky". Prince William considered it quite sentimental to give his fiance his mother's ring.

I can see how a certain kind of man might be disappointed that he was denied the joy of picking out a ring for you or with you, and that's the kind of man who would be a bad fit for you. It doesn't make them a bad man, or you a bad person either, It's simply a matter of taste.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
