The tradition is a way to celebrate milestones in your relationship, and it's a great way to update and refresh your existing ring.  While five years is the traditional timeline for upgrading, it’s ultimately up to you and your partner. Some couples choose to upgrade sooner, while others opt for a longer timeline. It’s important to consider factors such as budget, lifestyle changes, and sentimental value when choosing to upgrade your ring. One of the great things about the ring upgrade is that it’s a collaborative effort between partners. Couples often choose to shop for their new rings together, creating a fun and exciting experience. In many cases, couples use this as an excuse to take a 'ringcation' - a trip to a new city or country to find the perfect rings together.
