what would you do if you lost your wedding ring?

I would be freaking out!! Then I would retrace my steps and try to find it. Check every where and if you have been to any stores call them and give a description of your ring and give them your number to be reached in case someone turns it in.

One possibility would be to sauter (sp?) it to the wedding band of choice.  Would it be as bad then?  \nI would also maybe check on some sort of alteration to the ring from the jeweler that he purchased it from.  As a customer, they do not want you to be unhappy.  After you determine what you are able to do, maybe you could approach him with "would you mind if I..."\nAnd yes, I believe in being completely honest with your significant other, but there are feelings to consider.  Sometimes it is better to sugar coat the truth by saying something like: "The diamond actually sticks too far out and it makes me really nervous." As opposed to: "I hate this thing...don't you know me at all?!!!"

It is perfectly fine to buy a new ring. It isn't who bought the ring or how much it costs (though it's turning your finger green, it might not last very long), it's the meaning behind it. My boyfriend split our Engagement ring 50/50 because we were both in college as well. You might first want to talk to your fiance. Tell him how the metal is irritating your finger (which it will, if it hasn't yet) and ask him to go with you. Let him know how much you love the ring and you love him, but, how the ring just needs alittle touching up. Good luck and Congrats!

I haven't. But have heard of many stories including a friend of mine. When she needed money really bad she pawned her wedding ring and only got $150 for it. Mind you it was a $1000 ring.   She really regrets it but looks back saying, "Well I really needed money that day!"...

If I found a wallet, no matter how much money was in it (or lack of) I would call the numbers in it to try to return it.  If I could not get a hold of them then I would look up the name in the phone book or on the internet to try to track them down.  If I still could not get a hold of them, I would give the wallet to the police.  I would do that lastly since I don't really think that they are real active trying to find the owners of lost items.  \n\nTaking things that aren't yours, no matter if you "found" them or not is wrong.

You should have kept the ring with you and gave the receptionist your phone number for any claiment to call to identify it.\n\nYou're out of luck now.

Did the same---think of the ring...while you are alone, lying down and relaxed...what did it look like on your finger...picture yourself taking it off...for work, to clean it, to wash hair, to make a bed, to do dishes....then when 'the' answer strikes you---you'll know.\nI knew I'd put mine in a change purse at work---but had changed poscketbooks and after I went thru my bags there it was...just relax and review.\nIf all else fails ask your honey---as the time before that ,my spouse found it and hid it to 'teach me a lesson' not to leave it hanging around!

Yes. Why would you want to bring the symbols of all failed marriages into a new one? You should pawn them and move on. With the money you receive from the old rings, get a new ring to start anew life.

File a police report.  It's unlikely to be resolved, as you have no proof that it was even stolen and not misplaced.  I completely believe you, but there is certainly the shadow of a doubt.

you might want to take a look on ebay to look for a real diamond ring or maybe a pawn shop will do it instead of a fancy jewerly store...

Basically your only job is to hold on to the ring, so don't lose it or get it stuck on your own finger.\n\nThey should have a rehearsal before the wedding day to show you what to do and where to stand.

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

If there are diamonds, take the rings to a jeweler and have the stones reset into earrings, pendant, or something else that fits your style.\n\nHave the gold melted and used to make a new piece of jewelry. Some jewelers do custom work, so look around. You won't find those places in the mall, so use the phone book and call around.

Yes if you don't get married the ring needs to go back to him . The ring was put on your finger for marriage so if you break it off it's no longer yours . It would only be right to give it back .\n\nAngel

Queen Bee and M are both correct.  Also if the mother-in-law won't part with it offer to buy it back.  Explain that this is very hurtful to you and if this is the only way to get the ring back you will pay her.  Unfortunately, legally there is nothing you can do.  If you have to cry and make her feel guilty that's what you should do.  She should be a big enough person to realize that SHE is not the person you intended to have that ring since you would NEVER have given such an heirloom to anyone else but your daughter.  Common sense indicates you don't want anything like that going to an in-law!\n\nAdditional comment:\n\nAfter reading your additional details I think you should write them all off.  The mother-in-law has some nerve thinking you SHOULD PAY!  And even more nerve trying to fight over something that shouldn't have been given to her in the first place.  And your son-in-law is a wuss because he won't just pay his mother himself and return the ring to you.  I wouldn't buy ANYONE ANYTHING!  Take your money and spend it on yourself.  I think they are all ROTTEN to be doing what they are doing.

If you can't afford the ring you deffinately can't afford a wife!  If it is love you could give her an aluminum ring and she will love you for the sentiment and it won't matter to her.  Otherwise save your pennies and buy it out right, there is no point giving the woman you want to make you wife a ring you haven't paid for yet, you don't want repo depot showing up for that.

OK, I'll admit it, they're mine.  I lost them sometime after I got married and gave up trying to find them during the divorce.  How the hell they got all the way over there is beyond me.  I've obtained a new set since then so you can keep them if you want.
