Yeah you don't have to wear the engagement ring, most people just wear their wedding ring/band. Wear it for a while and then just still with the wedding band. That way instead of splitting the money between the e-ring and the wedding ring, you can have one incredible wedding ring you'll wear all the time, and respect your mil. I wouldn't touch the stone on her e-ring though. If I was her I would kind of be insulted since its a family heirloom. Unless you did something to the ring so you could pass down something to your daughter and keep something for yourself.
"The Family Ring" what if you don't like it?!?!

This one is really easy for me to answer. I feel you should think much deeper on what the ring actually means. Think about the history behind it...the excitement of a new love, the marriage, the honeymoon, their struggles, the children, their life and then how you came into their world. The ring has so much meaning and now it is being offered to you. That is an honor and it is beautiful.
I also feel you should select the wedding band that just makes your heart drop. It would then be as if you received the best of both worlds.
I wear both of my nona's rings (great grandmother) and my grandmother's wedding ring and I would never trade them or give them up. They are unique and they are beautiful. They stand for who they were and what they built in their lives. I would also not be here today if it were not for them. It is an honor to have them as a wedding ring or stack of rings I should say. (they are all dainty)
I do not care what anyone would have to say about them for they mean that much to me. It is history in my family and I will pass them to one of my children when they fall in love and get engaged.
Good Luck and I wish you all the best.
