I have 2 friends (twins) who drive me crazy with their pathetic sibling rivalry. One got engaged & received a 1 carat ring so within 4 months, the other got engaged & got a 1.25 carat ring. Then the upgrading bullshit began. Within 2 months of each of them getting married, both started upgrading their rings. What was really dumb was that the upgraded rings looked nothing like the original solitaires each had. As of today, Twin #1 has upgraded her rings 5 times (I am not joking) and Twin #2 has upgraded hers 6 times. When I asked what they did with the original rings, both admitted they traded them in. They didn't even keep them. This just boggles me.
I love my rings and would never get rid of them. If for an anniversary Mike gave me more rings or jewelry, I'd appreciate it and thank him but I wouldn't wear other rings on my ring fingers.
I guess it's a good thing I'm not big into jewelry either. My wedding rings & a pair of earrings are about as much as I normally wear.
