Today was my 7th year wedding anniversary, which did not get off to the best of starts as I had a trip to the hospital and my hubby forgot it was our anniversary! The day did not get much better as on my return home from the hospital I noticed that I had lost a stone out of my engagement ring!!
So, do you think that this is a bad omen?
Have you ever lost a stone or jewel out of a special piece of jewellery?
How long have you been married for or with a partner for?

Hi Gemini, Happy Belated Anniversary even though from the sounds of things it wasn't too good eh! I am single so I am not with a partner so can't give you a time frame on that one but I have lost a stone out of a very precious ring that is dear to me. My grandmother gave it to me whilst she was still alive and the aquamarine just disappeared from it one day. I was devasted and still am. I have now had that ring and another that I was going to tkae to see if they could put a new stone in lost (or stolen) as they were always where I knew they were and when I went to move two years ago GONE. Ellie :D

That is really sad, I lost my Grans eternity ring some years ago and that was bad too.

Sorry about all your troubles on your anniversary. Hope you are feeling better. I know it was upsetting for you to lose a diamond out of your ring.Do you have any idea where you were when you lost it? Several people I know have lost a diamond and found them in the funniest places.
As for your husband forgetting,don't worry. Mine would forget if I didn't remind him and we never get each other anything anymore.Been married 44 years on July 6th. I've learned to live with no card or gifts, but we do go some place nice to eat. Last year, we went to Ruth Chris' Steakhouse, but it won't be that big this year, for sure!

I'm sorry to hear your day was that bad. Its hard to forgive our husbands when they forget a big day. Hope he gets you something special. I have been married a long time and he normally is prepared, but there have been a couple times he moves the day.

My ex sister in law lost the stone in her ring and had another remonted and found the stone later on. She then added that one plus another one to signify the past, present and future. Well there's no future now since they're now divorced.
I've lost the stone to my birthstone ring three times and found it all three times but the fourth and last time I lost it, I lost it for good for I can't find it anyway. My grandmother gave it to me on my 18th birthday and got me the necklace to match on my 21st birthday. I tried to have a new stone put in but it costs just as much as buying a new ring! But a new ring won't be as sentimental to me as this one is. Maybe some day when I get rich enough to get a new stone put in, I'll do it.

No I don't think it is a bad omen to lose a bit off your engagement ring. It happens and more than you think. I would simply just try to get it repaired in such a way that it does not happen again. Some stones are not made very well and not secure in their design.
I know that sometimes life can actually be so busy that we can forget things but that does not mean we can not still do things special for each other, it does not have to be on that particular day either. You can still show each other love any day of the year and that is more important I thin to do it daily anyway.
Perhaps next time have a big calendar in the kitchen so that your partner does not forget it ever and mark it in big red text or something if you want to make a real day of your anniversary. Don't feel bad just do something about it and make the effort yourself and you will see if things work out later on. Be positive and you will get a better response I think.

Maybe your hubby was so upset about you landing up in the hospital that he forgot your anniversary! I hope he remedied this by now with a gift. My Jerry reminds me 2 weeks in advance, and plans a day outing with dinner, a present, and a kiss. I buy him something to wear. We celebrated our 17th on 6/9.
As for losing a stone, my hubby bought me a 10 year anniversary ring, and somehow a diamond chip got knocked out; but I haven't felt the need to replace it, nor do we consider it a bad omen. As long as nothing happened to either of us. And you should feel the same - as long as you are both OK, why worry about a lost stone?!

Sweetheart I am so sorry that he forgot and how did things go
And do not look into it to much with the Stone I think you are just very emotional right now but it is bad that he forgot your Anniversary
Have you reminded him yet I really hope so
Love and Hugs to you xxx

He remembered at the last min and got me a card! I think I might be able to get the stone replaced, but I am a bit funny about things like that, I always think that there is a reason for everything that happens. Out of all the rings I have ever had, I have never ever lost a stone!

Hello dear Gemini rose. I searched to find that the 7th wedding anniversary (in the United Kingdom) is called the Copper Anniversary. So I sincerely congratulate you on the wedding anniversary. Mine will be the Turquoise Anniversary one day before the end of this year.
I don't think that it shows anything when you lose a stone out of your engagement ring. I do hope that you have a good day on this special day. Bless you, dear friend.

Sorry you had a bad start to your anniversary. I would have been married 25 years august 25 of this year. After my divorce I continued to wear my rings. I worked in a restaurant and lost a diamond out of my ring wrap. I wanted to cry. I guess someone was telling me I needed to remove my rings. I was divorced on my 23rd anniversary. By our 24th we were back together. So we will be a couple on the 25th anniversary but not married. So I don't know if it counts.

HAPPY ANNIVERSERY!!
Dont worry about the husband forgetting. Mine does all the time. Men do that. Hope your felling better from going to the Hospital. It is not a bad omen for losing a stone. tell your hubby and you just might get a new one! Maybe even bigger since he forgot.
Good luck

Happy anniversary! I am sorry to hear about your lost stone.
Men usually forget important days like that. I am married for almost 10 years and i may have forgotten a birthday or anniversary, but I am given a chance by my wife to make up for it. The day is not yet over and your hubby may still remember to greet you before night falls. I hope everything goes well before you go to bed :)

I'm sorry to hear about that gemini..Maybe it was only a coincidence that the stone gave up and it finally fall off! Anyway, best thing about it, we can always replace that...Let's consider it as enriching your vows by having a new stone! I was engaged for almost 2 years and married for less than a year this time!
happy wedding anniversary to both of you!

nine years together.. 5 years married.. and neither of us can remember when the hell our anniversary is LOL we know its the "Solstice" but that actual date changes every year.. so we guestimate as to which actual date we got married cause we cant remember LOL
none of my jewelry has elaborate settings to worry bout the loss of any stones. my engagement ring is a single emerald cut solitaire.. none of my others have any gems at all. and omen? that depends on yer perceptions.. is yer marriage breaking apart.. or does it just need some simple fixing and maintenence? only you know..

I have been with mine for 43 years, 3 dating and 40 married.. So I can assure you that none of these are omens, they are things to be laughed at later in life.. They are good reminiscing material.. when you get my age, you will be fondly remembering the day when "on my 7th anniversary *******" If this is the worst that you go through, you have it made.. Good luck and here's to many, many more years.. Don't take each other too seriously and you will go far together..













Now that would be a nice thought, a new ring! x
