I'm all for it, as long as both husband and wife agree to it without hurt feelings. I know some people would feel too sentimental about their rings to do it, but since I picked out my own ring, I am not terribly attached to it that way. I love it, and I never go without it, but I wouldn't mind upgrading it.
In fact, we already did it once
I originally had a tiny three-stone ring.

I'm nowhere near getting engaged, but I'm not really into big diamonds or silvers and white golds so I guess a traditional ring wouldn't be my thing. If I was choosing I would probably go for something vintage with a ruby or emarald in, something like this Vintage Ruby Ring Diamond Wedding Ring Gold Engagement

My husband and I eloped when we were students and paid for everything ourselves, so my wedding ring (never got engaged) is a cheapo job, just a plain gold band. But what does it matter? We're married almost 12 years, I don't think we'd have been happier if he'd given me a big diamond ring.
We've been talking about upgrading our rings though, just for fun. I think I'd want the same type of ring, plain gold band, but thicker than what I have now.

lol i picked mines out, but it was totally a surprise. We went to the mall and then my fiance took me to zales, and he said ur picking out ur ring rite now. I didn't like the traditional 1 diamond rings, but i fell in love with ther 'past, present and future' collection. The pics are sort of crappy...
I feel some of you on the whole , 'you must have a diamond wen ur engaged', and i completely understand why some ppl wouldn't care for one. My fiance wanted me to get one bcuz he said i deserved one (im 21 now and i've been with him since i was 14). Personally i found it a drag to let everyone know i was engaged (cause to me it was sort of expected, i mean c`mon i been with him for 7 yrs).

Ok i picked out my own ring, but i didnt pretend and make a big fake ordeal about it, that's just pathetic. We just practically told our parents okay we're engaged and blah blah. I agree with u on puttin pressure on ur guy about wanting a certain ring from a certain store of so and so amount. I mean i never really thought about want i wanted or how it had to be, didn't really care for it, but given the situation i said hey why not?
