My husband and I have been married for almost seven years. After that many years, today, I lost my rings. I've made every effort to locate them. If they do not turn up, who buys new ones? We have separate accounts so it's not like it doesn't matter, because it does. Do I buy whatever I want or should I ask him to buy me something new; or, do we simply split it 50/50? I don't care what I get since it will have no sentimental value anyway. I just want to follow what ever the proper etiquette is in this situation. Thanks.

This is not really an etiquette question but more of a moral or a personal dilemma. This is not a financial issue in my opinion.
First you need to decide what these rings mean to you and IF they can or even should be replaced. If you want to replace them then discuss with your husband how this will be done. It is not anyone's "responsibility" to replace the rings. They were a gift, which you lost. If your husband offers to replace them, wonderful. If he doesn't, you, as the owner of the rings and person who lost them, should pay for the replacement.
Perhaps you'd like to wait until a significant anniversary, replace the rings and renew your vows? Again, discuss this with your husband and decide together how and if you should proceed. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
