Do You Exchange Rings at a Vow Renewal?

There are no hard and fast rules about how to conduct a vow renewal ceremony. Whether or not you exchange rings is totally up to you. "Couples often choose to exchange rings at a vow renewal ceremony," says Tonia Zehrer, Senior Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer of Signet Jewelers. "Regardless of whether the couple prefers to use their original rings or new anniversary rings is entirely up to them, but the tradition of saying your vows and exchanging rings still stands."

Afshin Shaddaie, President of Estate Diamond Jewelry, agrees. "Although the vow renewal ceremony isn't a legal ceremony, like a wedding, many of the wedding traditions will be observed," he says. "The exchange-of-rings tradition, whether they're upgraded or not, is a common practice during vow renewals—but as with all vow renewal customs, there are no fixed rules."

While it's not required, exchanging rings at your vow renewal ceremony has some pros: It's a special moment, allows you to relive a part of your wedding ceremony—and is a good excuse to add some new or upgraded bling into the mix.

Should You Buy New Rings for Your Vow Renewal?

If you're celebrating a milestone anniversary, you may want to consider buying new rings to mark the occasion.

"While you can always use existing rings in a vow renewal ceremony, there is something romantic about having a new ring to embody the reaffirmation of commitment," says Greg Kwiat, CEO of Kwiat and Fred Leighton. "A new ring serves as a unique reminder of the renewal ceremony and can be a complement to an original wedding band."

But, if you do not have the budget available or desire to buy new rings, there's no need to fret. "There is no requirement to buy new rings for the renewal. The vow renewal ceremony is about renewing one's love for their spouse, and gifts are not a requirement at all," Shaddaie says.

How to Choose a Vow Renewal Ring

For married couples, the process of buying vow renewal rings can present a lot of questions.

First, should you use this opportunity to upgrade your engagement ring and wedding band? According to Carol Offman, CEO and Founder of Inner Expressions, renewing your vows may be the perfect time to do so.

Recently, Offman worked with a couple who—after 20 years of marriage—decided to gift each other with new rings for their vow renewal ceremony. "When they first got married, they did not have the means for fancy expensive wedding jewelry. They were both starting out in their respective careers and saving their money for essentials," Offman says. Two decades later, the couple decided it was time to show each other appreciation and upgrade their rings. "It was a beautiful way to renew their vows," she says.

If you do opt to upgrade your engagement ring or wedding band, you might be wondering where to start. When choosing new rings, Shaddaie says the trends around vow renewal rings tend to be the same as whatever is trending in the engagement ring world at the time. "Right now, vintage rings and minimalistic engagement rings and wedding bands are very popular, and that's also what's trending for vow renewal rings," he says.

Worried you won't choose the right ring? Don't be. "Rule number one of wedding ring shopping is that anything goes. There are no rules, and couples should select whatever styles they like best. Mixing shapes, sizes and metals are allowed," Kwiat says.
