Engagement Ring Learning

Why Have More Than One Engagement Ring?  

Why Have More Than One Engagement Ring?  

When we think of engagement rings, we usually picture one special ring symbolising a lifetime commitment. But more and more people – including celebrities like Victoria Beckham – are embracing the idea of owning multiple engagement rings. Whether it’s for style variety, milestone moments, or practical reasons, having more than one ring is becoming a modern, meaningful choice. 

1. Style Versatility 

Just like your wardrobe, your jewellery deserves options. One day you might want a sleek solitaire, the next, a bold halo. Different outfits, seasons, or even occasions may call for different rings. An engagement ring should reflect your style, but who’s to say you don’t want to switch it up once in a while? 

Victoria Beckham, for example, reportedly owns over 15 engagement rings, each unique in design and gemstone. From emeralds to pear-cut diamonds, she switches up her rings just like she does her fashion. 

2. Sentimental Upgrades & Milestones 

Life doesn’t stop after the proposal. Many couples choose to add or upgrade engagement rings to mark anniversaries, children, or other meaningful milestones. A second ring might represent a fresh chapter or a reaffirmation of vows, making it just as symbolic as the original. 

You don’t need to replace your first ring, just add to the story. A newer design might reflect how your style has matured, or how far you’ve come together. 

3. Practical Reasons 

Some rings are better suited to daily wear, while others are ideal for special occasions. If your original ring is high-set or intricate, it may not be ideal for work, travel, or hands-on activities. A second, more low-profile ring can give you peace of mind, without compromising on beauty.  

For those who travel frequently or live active lifestyles, having a ‘travel ring’ or ‘everyday ring’ can protect your main diamond from damage or loss. You can even have a ‘work’ ring and a ‘weekend’ ring. 

4. Sentimental Keepsake or Heirloom Planning 

Some people purchase additional rings with future generations in mind, creating a collection that can be passed down. You might have multiple children, and want to leave a special ring to each.
