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.
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??? Good luck hun.
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 )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.
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 ) 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 ...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!
