Do You Still Have Your Original Engagement Ring

My first engagement ring was a 1/4 ct solitaire in a swoopy white gold head on a yellow band We put it in a setting, and it was the thinnest, lightest setting imaginable and it was great for someone of that age at that timebut was not the ring to carry one through life My wedding ring was a tiny band of 8 1 pt stones set in white gold on a yellow gold band.

My husband wore his ring consistently till it snapped while helping some friends move house We took that opportunity to melt down the yellow gold in my wedding band, my engagement ring, and his wedding ring, and make 2 new rings for our 25th wedding anniversary DH'S ring is 25mm wide and mine is 2mm, and both are nice and thick, half round comfort fit with milgrain.

Our original rings were only 9 kt gold, so we added enough pure gold to the remakes to bump them up to 14 kt. . Source
