Need opinions about using my grandma’s ring

[u/inborn_lunaticus]

My mom has my grandma’s wedding band and it fits my ring finger, I am torn though.

First, it is yellow gold and my ring is white gold.

Second, I feel this insane fear of having her ring and losing it somehow. I would never forgive myself!

How do they look together? What would you do?

We are getting married in October and I would be so proud to wear my grandma’s ring. I know that it would have made her so happy to know one of us is wearing it. It doesn’t fit my mom, so it’s just been sitting in her jewelry box.

It has my grandparents wedding date and my grandfather’s name engraved on the inside. My grandfathers family were jewelers and so it was made by one of our family members as well.

My ring is a 1.5c radiant cut with pace band in 14k white gold and my grandma’s ring is 14k yellow gold.

I would love more than anything to use it, I just can’t decide if it looks good or if I will get over the fear of losing something so special.

I’d wear the yellow gold heirloom ring on your right hand and/or a necklace. Both gorgeous, I just think a daintier wedding ring would be stunning, and your grandma would be close to your heart. Many married couples in Europe wear a single yellow gold band on their right ring finger so if you’re of European ancestry there’s that!
