How to Know If It’s Time to Redesign Your Wedding Ring

Some of our least favourite moments are when women are wearing wedding sets they don’t love. Wedding bands and engagement rings are so special, not only for the memories of the moment you received them, but for what they represent. Let’s explore the top three signs that it’s time to finally take your wedding ring, engagement ring, or the set, and transform them into rings that truly represent who you are today.

Sign #1: Your ring doesn’t resonate with who you are 

Our tastes and style preferences grow and shift as time passes. Yet upgrading your wedding ring doesn’t feel as simple as changing up your wardrobe. This leaves many women wearing pieces that don’t match their style. If your ring feels more like a representation of who you were instead of who you are, it’s a red flag that it’s time for a change.

Sign #2: You have a heirloom piece that doesn’t match your personality 

There’s something magical about receiving a heirloom engagement ring. Wearing a cherished family legacy piece is meaningful… But sometimes, it just doesn’t fit your style. If you love portions of your ring, but wish for something a little more modern or a little more you, it may be time to consider a redesign. 

Sign #3: Your ring is gathering dust in a drawer 

We’ll be honest: if you open your jewelry box every morning and your eye automatically skims over your wedding ring, it’s time for a redesign. Your wedding ring should be something you can’t wait to put on every day, not wear out of obligation or forget it’s there. 

Ways to upgrade your wedding ring 

There are so many possibilities when it comes to upgrading your wedding ring. Here’s a few of our favourites: 

• Going up in color
• Increasing the carat weight
• Adding a 3-sided diamond pavé band 

Gathering inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram is a wonderful idea to start the process. But keep in mind that your lifestyle, hand size, and the ring itself will impact the final redesign. For example, if you primarily use your left hand, adding fragile diamonds may not be the best option. Talented jewelry designers will guide you through the redesign process to create a forever piece you adore. 

Whether you want to upgrade your wedding ring into your dream piece, renew your vows, or to celebrate a milestone, redesigning your ring into the dream ring that tells your story, fits your style, and you’re thrilled to wear is a choice you won’t regret.
