Re: Different ring

Heirloom stones passed down through the family are perhaps the most meaningful for an engagement ring, linking you to the generations of giddy brides-to-be who preceded you. That said, what if you like the stone but hate the setting? Perhaps it doesn't reflect your personality, is completely impractical for your lifestyle, or is just plain hideous. Tread carefully: Before you reset, consider the following to keep the stone -- and the spirit in which it was given to you -- intact for the next generation.

Resetting Etiquette
Being offered an heirloom stone can be tricky territory. On one hand, it's a sign of family acceptance and trust, plus it saves your future fiance a lot of money! On the other hand, perhaps you've had a vision of your dream engagement ring since grade school, and it looked nothing like what's been offered. Two options: Accept it graciously and scrap those childhood fantasies, or reset the stone to make it your own.


A Little Finesse
The moral of this story: If you and your fiance plan on resetting the stone, discuss your intentions with the person who gave it to you. This shows respect, and a genuine interest in his or her blessing. Make it clear how honored and thankful you are, but [insert one of following]:

You're worried about wearing it every day in its current setting (you're an elementary school gym teacher, avid rock climber, potter, or chef, to name a few hands-on careers and hobbies).
The setting needs repair but the expertise involved would be prohibitively expensive.
You'd like to add your own personal touch -- baguettes from your mom's engagement ring, for example.
It doesn't flatter your hand -- it's visually too big or small for your finger.
It won't work with the wedding bands you've chosen.
If the ring has gone unchanged for generations, you may have to suck it up -- and wear it only when you're with members of the family from which it came!
