Is it ok to give a girl a wedding ring as a normal ring for her birthday?

July 26th, 2009
jobo asked:


Hello everyone! I am going to buy the girlfried a ring for her birthday - though the one I want to buy is actually classified as a wedding ring? Does it really matter if it is just a present and it isn’t used as a wedding ring?

Regards,
AJ

    depends if it really looks like a wedding ring..she might take it wrong when she opens it if it does. I would look for something different…just so theres no confusion.

    What happens if she opens the present and starts jumping up and down and then expects you to get down on one knee? Won’t you feel stupid? LOL. ;-)

    Buy her a normal ring…you don’t want her to misinterpret it do you? Us girls can do that sometimes.

    It’s a big difference. The woman gets the wedding ring when she gets married. I had my ring sitting in a box for a month before my wedding, and I wanted to wear it really bad. I tried it on a couple time but never wore it out of the house because I wasn’t married yet.

    Just get her a normal ring.

    Nope. What counts is that you remembered her.

    as long as u explain that its only a gift for her b-day. bu it is a little weird to giv her a wedding ring

    If it is received as a gift (on a birthday its hers forever even if a marriage does not take place)
    if given as an engagement—-that comes with conditions…..so its your choice…

    Don’t get her a wedding ring because you might be sending her mixed messages. Just get her a different ring. I’m sure you can find a nice ring for her that’s not a wedding ring.

    No it doesn’t matter. If you think she will like it, then it doesn’t matter.

    But do you really like this girl? I mean is she worth spending that much money on? Are you going to marry her one day? If not then I would not buy her a ring. That’s a little too much. Especially when you will be getting her hopes up…

    A ring is not appropriate for a casual relationship.

    There is bothing stamped on the ring to indicate it it is for wedding purposes only. Sure, it is ok , if you can afford it.

    Could become a bit of a sticky wicket…….maybe stay with a nice birthstone ring or something

    if she doesn’t know its a wedding ring and if you trust her not to think ur asking to marry her, i personally would be thrilled but thats just me

    it would matter to me. Get her a pretty ring with a colored stone or a design ring or something different. a wedding ring is to get married

    Absolutely! Go ahead and give the girl the wedding ring … but you better accompany this with a marriage proposal …

    I would not do that, it may give her the wrong idea and she will be pissed off if you are not proposing. Just get her a normal ring, maybe one with some stone of color so she dosn’t confuse the two.

    call it anything you want…as long as the girl is clear that your intention is not to marry her!!! lol I think any ring given with love is special

    By “wedding ring” are you sure you don’t mean “engagement ring”? Is it just a solitaire or something? Think about it, though, if she opens the box and finds the ring, she’ll think that you’re about to get on one knee…I’d stay away from it unless you want to ask her to marry you. The bracelet idea is a great one or how about a nice locket?

    What a lucky girl! Don’t let her get away.

    What girl would turn down diamonds. It is perfectly fine to give a wedding ring as a gift but make sure that you clarify the purpose there or you could be asking for more than you wanted.

    no!! she and everyone else will get the wrong idea. unless you have intentions on marrying her

    You should think this over a little longer before you do it, because it could *definitely* be taken the wrong way. She’ll look at it and think that you want to get married, so imagine how awkward it will be when you have to explain that it’s a wedding ring, but you’re not actually asking her to marry you.

    Is it a diamond engagement ring or a gold wedding band? Either way, you should probably avoid doing it. She probably won’t really like a plain gold wedding band if it doesn’t have anything to do with marriage, and if it’s a diamond engagement ring thing she’s going to have to field a lot of questions from curious women… “Oh! Are you getting married?” “No… it was a birthday present.” (Women will ask this even if it’s worn on a different finger.)

    A better bet would be a ring with her birthstone. There are diamond rings that aren’t part of the marriage category. Speak to a jeweler about it.

    No it’s not. you dont want it in the back of your mind if you did the right decision. get her a normal ring.

    It is definately not okay! Just get her a promise ring or another piece of jewelry for her birthday. A wedding ring is intentionally for engagement, a WEDDING in the future. What is really on your mind?

    She is not going to think of that ring in the same sense that you MEANT it for. You better mean, that you are asking her to marry you or you are not going to be in her life very long. Girls are funny like that. Unless, you convince her it is a promise ring. AND THEN, when the time comes, I would suggest that you double your money for the real WEDDING ring.

    The wedding ring that you intend to purchase may be considered by your girlfriend as only a ring if she wears it on other fingers or thumbs except the ring fingers (finger next to the pinkie) on both hands. These days, rings that resemble a band are very popular in style. As long as the ring is not a PLAIN band, it can be considered as a regular ring. Hopefully, your g/f doesn’t read into the ring more than what it is.
