I've been contemplating this. Before my grandmother passed, she gave me her wedding ring. But it was an older style, quite dated. And so she insisted (I didn't ask) that it be reset in a new band. I have this stunning ruby and diamond ring now. I LOVE IT. However, I have this giant gold band leftover. I have been contemplating selling it. DH thinks I should hang on to it--it was my grandmother's afterall. But why? There are no stones in it? I just imagine it sitting in my jewelry box until I pass.
