I thought it was on the birth of the baby? (I want one too!)
CONGRATS on 7 years!
They say you get your eternity ring on your 1st wedding anniversary, or when your first baby is born :)
I say you qualify for yours whenever you want it now!!
thats what i thought too kaz! mmmm :think: maybe i'll just go buy one myself :think:
thanks on the congrats too
ETA what SS...no fair that means i should be up for 3 rings ;)
i got one on first wedding anniv....
not fair BG :lol: !!!!

I was lucky enough to get an eternity ring on my first anniversary too!
Andie
wow BG is blinged up!!!
I got mine wen we were pg with DS#1....
Good luck, you deserve one!!!
awesome BG!! lucky girl!!!!
I have heard you get an eternity ring for first anniversary or first baby.
DH and I have been married for almost 4 yrs and I am now carrying his 4th child... I'm still waiting for my eternity ring.
DH keeps telling me he will get me one eventually... I think I am entitled to at least a maternity ring! lol
I have a beautiful wedding ring with 10 princess cut diamonds in it... I want another like it for my eternity/maternity ring.
LOL if thats the case i should have got my eternity ring 4 months after we got married!
Nearly 3 yrs on im still waiting...but ill not be greedy..my wedding and engagement rings hurt the money pocket enough :)
hehe. I'm still waiting for my engagement ring!
My mum got hers after she had her last baby & I've also heard on your 10th anniversary, as well as first anniversary & first baby. So I guess it depends. We're up to nine years in August & still none for me yet.
I got mine when DD was born - it was passed down from MIL and belonged to the Bear's grandmother who has the same name as DD.... so it's very special! Sounds to me like you're overdue for one!
I'm aiming for 10th anniversary Jols ;). Still got 7 years to go! Oh but hang on, we've been together for 10 years this year.....does that count??? :D Good luck hun.
AJP, buy yourself one with Rudd's bonus! I think I will too otherwise I will be waiting an eternity :rolleyes:
Towards the end of my pregnancy with DS (we'd been married for 3 years then) I went out and bought myself one. I got it designed and made specially with 5 diamonds (in a row) to match the two either side of my ruby engagement ring. I tell everyone (except you ladies here right now of course :lol: )that DH bought it for me to celebrate the birth of DS. I did tell DH that I was going to go and do it, and he didn't protest too much, so that's as good as buying it for me I reckon.
no ring for me today :lol:
I got mine after DD was born. Its got two small rubies and a diamond. Its moulded as part of the set (which was designed by DH).
I hope you can get one soon hon xxx
AJP, I agree with Holly. Buy yourself one with the Rudd money! Sorry you diddn't get your ring :(
A verly close friend of mine told me that you should get one for every child that you have. So I asked for one when we were expecting our little boy. Even though he didn't make it in this world, I still got one for his birth and I engraved his name and date of birth on the inside of it. It's my little tresure now.
I've heard 10 years married, first baby and alot 1st year married...I'm out for the 1st year married and DH insists it's 10 years married as that'll be the last one to happen as we are ttc atm. lol.
I like the idea of the one when you have the first bub, but it's really the time when money's the tightest.
I got mine on our first anniversary but DD was 3 months old by then so I reckon I deserved it! LOL. I wear mine on my right hand because I wear my engagment ring and split wedder (ie two wedding bands that sit either side) on my left hand (obviously :rolleyes:) so no room for a 4th ring and it looked funny anyway.
I got a wide band with Ceylon saphires and diamonds. must admit I rarely wear it these days because I wear a lot of silver and it's yellow gold :redface: ...should pull it out and start wearing it. Sometimes I wear it with my wedders either side instead of my diamond engagement ring.
Hope you get one soon!
I heard the 10 years a long with the first baby. Had not heard any "rules" till after our first, so I decided to wait for out 10th, which is next year. I have been reminding DH, but I may have to save for it myself.
I got mine just before we had DD. We had been married about 4 years. And I got it just cause I wanted to..
But haven't worn it in ages. By the time my finger felt comfortable to wear it again after DD, I fell pg again and it is too tight.. Have to get all rings cleaned before I wear again cause it looks so sparkley compared to wedding and engagement rings..
I want one too but i doubt i'll get it. DH never buys me jewellery unless i constantly ask and then whats the point? There's no surprise then.
i have managed to wear my engagement/wedding/eternity rings right through the pg so far. when we got the eternity ring (DH picked it, goes with the bridal set) we got them merged together as the wedding ring and engagement ring fit together and were moving a little. i haven't had any dramas wearing them (thankfully) - actually not looking forward to taking them off when it comes time to go to hospital seeing i don't want them to go missing at all!
DH had heard of others getting their partners "maternity" rings, but given we were having trouble TTC he got eternity ring for first anniv. apparently i'm getting a diamond necklace of some sort (he's hidden it in the safe) when Gremlin arrives.... he has pretty good taste in jewellery, so i'm kinda looking forward to seeing it!
no fair BG!!
i wore my rings the whole pregnancy too, even the really hot days, never had to take them off!
:
sowwwy!!
my man likes to buy pretty stuff - and i'm not complaining!
i got mine after DS was born.
took a lot of harrasing to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good luck
It used to be 10 years then (somehow :D) changed to 1st anniversary or first baby. I'll be waiting until the 10 years for many, many reasons!!!
thought i should update.
the other day mum gave me a diamond ring that belonged to my great aunt, it has i large-ish diamond and 10 smaller diamonds, she told me i can do as i please with it, so gong to have to remade into an eternity ring!! probably going to cost me more to have it remade than it would have done to buy a new one! :D :lol:
dont think so
my wedding and engagement rings were made with family diamonds.
for remodelling was half the price of buynig the same style with same size diamond..
and then i got rose gold engagment and white gold wedder and yellow eternity but this one hasnt been made yet :(
