Hi brides, I want to ask for some advice. My fiancé asked me to marry him a few weeks ago. I couldn't be happier, he is the man of my life. The only problem is... the ring. He gave me a 2 carat moissanite solitaire in platinum and I hate it. I love the setting so much, but the stone sparkles in a weird way, or maybe I just don't accept that it's a moissanite because I'm used to wearing a rolex and Cartier and it looks cheap in comparison. Obviously I wasn't expecting such a big diamond from him so I'm not disappointed, but I don't like this ring. I have 75K in savings and my parents will give me 200K to start our life together (I come from a relatively well off family). Do you guys think it would be so bad if I replaced the moissanite with a 2 carat real diamond? I would be fine with lab grown too. Of course I wouldn't tell him anything because I don't want to disappoint him or break his heart. Or should I just settle for now and maybe upgrade in 5/10 years? Any advice is appreciated

    I'm a bit troubled by your willingness to deceive your FH. Maybe have a look at that.

    Talk to him about it. Maybe upgrade to an actual diamond on an anniversary or something (you can keep the setting, just change the stone.) Honestly, the engagement ring isn't the ring in my eyes, it's the wedding band. That's the one you'll be wearing (or should be wearing) all the time. Pick a wedding band you'll be happy with, you're gonna be with it for as long as you're married to your husband.


    Don't hide things from someone who's supposed to trust you and vice versa. It's better to just be open about things and talk it over, truthfully.

    I think you should keep the engagement ring but be creative. You could change your wedding band to fit the engagement ring, it may sting him a little but it is both of you all's wedding.

    It's critical to communicate with your fiancé, but if you want to replace the stone in the future, think about lab-grown diamonds or upgrading. Alternatives can also be found at Forever Moissanite
