Out With the Old

I have decided that I would like a new wedding ring.

No, not a bigger ring.

Just a new one.

I know that my husband is not too keen on this idea.

I am fine with selling my original ring in order to get a new one.

Does this make me heartless?

I love what the ring symbolizes, not the physical thing.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think my ring is ugly.

It has just become inconvenient.

It is a traditional diamond solitaire, with 2 diamond bands surrounding it.

What I don't like is the big solitaire.

I hit it on stuff all the time.

I scratch things (and people) with it.

Another problem I have with it is the metal. 

It is made of white gold, which need to be coated with rhodium occasionally to keep it looking silver.

This tends to get annoying.

I have been doing some research online, and have decided I would like my next ring to be made of palladium.

It is mean to be lighter in weight, and is naturally a silvery color, so no rhodium coating needed.

Plus, it isn't as expensive as platinum.

Here are some examples of what I want:



Am I asking for too much??
