Family heirloom ring! / 9 months married

Husband and I just got back from visiting his grandma across the country.

Husband and I just got back from visiting his grandma across the country. She hadn’t been able to make it to the wedding (she isn’t in good enough health to travel) but she is the relative that both he and I are closest to. We watched our wedding video with her which was so special! She really got to feel like she was there.

Anyway, now we are 9 months married and while we were there she told me she wanted me to have her diamond ring, which was originally her mother in law’s (my husband’s great grandmother). It is so gorgeous and so special and I love it!

But I’m also at a loss for what to do hahaha. Of course we’re 9 months married now so I already have my engagement ring and my wedding band set which I love. It’s also like 2 sizes too big on me and she told me to just have it resized but I feel like I’m nervous to do that and I want to keep the integrity of the ring to pass down to my daughter/granddaughter and what if they have bigger fingers than me? Lol.

So I bought a ring sizer and I’m thinking of just wearing it on my right hand? But is that weird to have a diamond ring on both hands? This one is also bigger and way more blingy than my actual engagement ring 😂

Just curious for all your suggestions and if any of you have been in this situation of inheriting a family heirloom ring AFTER you’re already married!cfb_1375473.jpg

    Hahah I feel you! My husband’s grandma unfortunately has dementia and she can’t even remember what she had for breakfast most days, but every time I’ve talked to her since she gave me her ring she always brings it up like I can’t believe she even remembers she gave it to me? It obviously means so much to her I feel so honored 🥺
