My Grandmother is sending me her wedding ring, which is a simple halo band.
I love that it's simple and historical. Is it absolutely necessary to have an engagement ring and wedding ring, or can I use it for both?
My boyfriend think's it seems cheap, but I'm not a "bling" person and don't wear rings. I'm curious about your thoughts!Thanks,
One halo is enough

Dear one halo is enough,Good question. It really depends on what you want. If you want it as only your wedding band, you could save it and not wear it until the big day. BUT then you might want to consider if it means something to you to have something on your finger while you are engaged (men don't usually wear engagement rings, it would be a personal choice if you want to wear one or not).
I'm sure he would respect your feelings if you let him know how important your Grandmother's ring means to you, how much you value your own relationship, and how wearing a "flashy" ring is really not your style.
That being said, while keeping your boyfriend's feelings in mind, he may have always dreamed of the one knee proposal with a diamond (some actually have the proposal all figured out-LOL!).
He might look at it as he is "getting the easy way out" by not getting you an actual ring, and also be afraid of how it may look to others. It could also be seen to him as a form of rejection-since you are not accepting "his ring". (This is of course purely speculation as I don't know him personally, I am just trying to sympathize with him on why he may think it is "cheap")
If you are not a "blingy" person, you might consider letting him add "something new" to your "something old" and get an simple chanel band or eternity band.
You could also try a celtic wedding band (with the heart) if you don't want a diamond, or you can add in a braided band, tricolour gold, OR I have seen a lot of ring combinations where they are both halo bands, but one is thick while the other is thin-looks very chic and modern ;)
Hope this helps!
