Diamond & Jewelry News, Advice and Prices for Consumers

I don't want to offend some conservative aunts and uncles, but I'd like to look as good as I can. My fiance bought me this diamond stud (when she proposed!) and it is significant to me and our relationship. And in fact this diamond stud is sort of the reason we're going to be standing at the altar together. On the other hand, I don't need the earring to know I love my wife to be, and I don't want to shock any relatives. I'm a bit dizzy with wedding preparations, and not really thinking straight. Can anybody point me in the right direction here? What's the way to go?

Of course! Would you rather an offended bride or an offended aunt and uncle? It sounds like the proposal was somewhat unconventional, so why not mix up the ceremony a little bit, even though, I don’t know that wearing a diamond stud is mixing it up really! Think of it in the opposite way, if you had proposed to her and she was not sure whether or not to wear the ring on your wedding day, would you not be somewhat offended or feel as though it were something important that she was missing? I think it is lovely that she bought you a stud, and proposed to you, and what a great story you have if anyone asks you about it. Also, if you really think that it will make your family (and thus you) uncomfortable, you could always wear it at the reception. Just remember this is YOUR day, one that you are creating to remember for the rest of YOUR life, so do what makes YOU happy!

Yes, I absolutely think that you should wear the diamond earring on your wedding day. This is basically the same thing as an engagement ring... just the guy version. Women wear their engagement rings on their wedding day..... so you should be able to wear your diamong earring. I think if people want to be offended by it, let them!

It depends. I agree with what's been said above about it being your day and the stud diamond being a stunning engagement piece, and that the earring is significant to the two of you. The only thing I think you might ask yourself is how expressive these aunts and uncles are with their opinions. If you're going to have to deal with crooked looks and auntly remarks about your ear piece, it might hinder your enjoyment on the day that's supposed to be the most delightful day of your life. So if you and your wife to be know how important the diamond stud earring is, and it's your own private beautiful story - you don't need it at the ceremony in order to feel its significance, if wearing it might provoke some bad reactions that could spoil your day.

Absolutely, you gotta wear it! I think it's so cool that your wife to be proposed to you and that she did it sing a diamond stud EARRING. Was your ear even pierced? did you have to pierce it to insert your engagement stud? In any case that's really cool. And this earring is so important in your history. I think you must wear it at your wedding. Besides the beautiful story, it's YOUR wedding day! You can wear whatever you like! And it's only a small diamond stud. It isn't like you're going to run down the aisle half naked with tattoos all over your back that you're going to push into your aunts' faces. The relatives cope with a beautiful diamond stud which is your engagement diamond. I also think it will mean a lot to your wife to be if you're wearing the earring she gave you, with which she ASKED YOU TO MARRY HER, on your special day. For sure! Don't even think about leaving it home.

Wear it! It's your wedding! Don't think twice. The uncles and aunts are your guests and just like they will eat whatever food you serve them, and accept your choice of music, and your dad's choice of tux, they will accept the stud diamond earring your fiance proposed to you with. AND, a stud diamond is NOT offensive! It's STUNNING! Your future wife rocks for proposing like that. Show her how much it meant to you. wear the diamond earring with pride!
