Members ambient Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 My other half and I are having our wedding in a few months and have started looking for rings. The thing is most rings here are far to pimp for me (platinum with weird designs or diamantes etc.) It's surprisingly hard to find what I imagine to be a 'wedding ring'. Which is probably yellow gold and probably 4-5mm wide. But maybe I don't know. What you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onyxrhino Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 just get a simple band, no design (unless you're really into jewelry). Mine is white gold. Lots of people do platinum. You can do yellow gold too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea no design for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where you go I guess but they don't seem too bad. (though I have no basis for comparison outside the country). I'd rather spend whatever and get us what we want. It's supposed to be for life after all right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Stopped wearing mine when, bitd, I saw a guy blow his ring finger off on a 5V power supply at work. (granted, it was 50 amp supply). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BHz_econo Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I used to work in a warehouse. I was putting a pallet in top of the messanine and I jumped up and grabbed the top and took a quick look at the landing before put the pallet up there. When I let go my ring was caught and it rolled the skin on my finger up!The ring finally let go and I got it off before my finger swelled up. Surprisingly only about 4 stitches once they rolled the skin back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 i got this one- http://www.jared.com/product1%7C10451%7C10001%7C-1%7C25142430599%7C19061%7C the contrast in texture/ appearance is very subtle in real life. not tacky or flashy, not too boring, plus it was $100. i wont say what i paid for my wifes rings but if i did youd understand why we got a $100 ring for me.

Do many people do platinum or white gold these days?Yea no design for me. I can't say for sure what is the norm. I know people with yellow gold, white gold, platinum rings. My wife just doesn't like the look of yellow gold, so I got all her rings in platinum. But when it came to buying my own band, I couldn't stomach paying so much for platinum, so I went with white gold. The best thing is to just let your wife pick what kind of ring band she wants and match that color with your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hiwatt Bob Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 We got white gold. I heard platinum can be dangerous, like if you ever get your finger jammed and it swells up--most hospitals don't have cutters hard enough to cut through platinum. Not sure if that's urban legend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though tbh I would probably struggle to know the difference between pt, au, ag and staineless steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 yea i'd just go with stainless steel personally. gold is lame. white gold is ok. platinum is probably quite expensive for waht it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mitre Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mine's palladium. Instead of a diamond, my wife's rock is an aquamarine (her birthstone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mine is tungsten. Looks like this (though, the beveled edge is smooth, unlike the one pictured here): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted February 21, 2012 Members Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a 6mm flat palladium ring. Palladium looks like platinum but is less dense. It's harder than plantinum but softer than 14k white gold, and is in between the two costwise. Anyway, I chose it because I liked the look of platinum--especially of the patina it develops over time--but didn't like the cost and weight.
