Wedding rings....

[24/7]

What sort of wedding ring did you have/ are you having? I always thought wedding rings for women were just plain bands, and after a little peek, how wrong was I?!?

Thanks in advance.

I did just have a plain, white gold band... Decided on it being plain because anything else took the attention away from my engagement ring!!!

I WAS looking at a Celtic design band, but that was to go with a bit of an intricate Celtic-y design engagement ring and I ended up with a different one!!!

ETA: Not the best pic, but the better angled one won't upload

I got a plain wedding band as well.

I'm not a person who wears jewelry (in fact, my engagement and wedding rings are it....I don't even have my ears pierced!). I didn't want anything fancy, so I went with a plain band that matched my engagement ring.

Needless to say, it doesn't look that shiny and new now! lol

Jessa, your hubby's ring is V similar to my DH's!! I was polishing my rings and noticed loads of tiny scratches DH's is made of Tungsten though, which is meant to be scratch resistant....perfect condition...I was jealous

Hubby's ring is titanium. We were looking at tungsten, but found out that it can't be cut off in an accident. The hospital doesn't have the proper tool, so a jewelry store is the only one who can do it. Hubby was planning on wearing his all the time and works in a factory setting, so we wanted something that could be cut off in an emergency if needed.

His ring is even worse than mine. He works with glass and is lifting heavy pieces all the time. It's scratched the finish off of his so it's now just a silver band. Too bad because we loved the detail.

Really?! Wow, I didn't know that. DH doesn't wear his to work (works with heavy machinery and stuff - hydraulic repair shop).. He started off with it on a chain/string round his neck, but now just leaves it at home.

That's a good idea. Most plants won't let their employees wear rings, but my hubby's plant does. Means he can wear it all the time (he'd lose it otherwise!).

OH and I also have titanium rings. We got them a bit on the large side as 1st they are wider than the average gold wedding band and 2nd the cutting off thing.
They don't match either, his has blue anodized grooves in it and mine has a mill grain edge.

 

[Vici]

Ours won't be matching either. OH will have a titanium band and mine will be a plain gold band

Im having a plain white gold band

When we were in Brighton in November sorting some wedding stuff we went to the Jewellery quarter and we tried on a few. The shop owners were really irritating so we didn't buy from them but we did decide I'd have a plain 4mm platinum band as the ones with the diamonds in them were too much for my taste and took something away from my engagement ring.

My boy is having a brushed flat D 8mm ring so ours won't match either but the polished ones just didn't suit him at all.

Mine will be this one, or something very similar, https://www.clogau.co.uk/i/ELR002/ELR002.jpg and OH will have one that's either the same or from the same collection!

Beca :wave:

We went into a shop to look for engagement rings and the shop staff basically POUNCED on me. I hate that so much, I started having a panic attack...Needless to say we didn't go in there again!!!

Mine is thin silver band with 3 tiny little stones on it.

 

[Blob]

Ours arent matching but mine links onto my engagement ring and has three diamonds on each side

 

[BabyL0Ve]

Mine is a matching set with my e-ring. It has around 18 diamonds on top yet the band is about 2.2mm so its not too much.

 

[MrsVenn]

DH has a plain 5mm gold band and I have a plain 3mm D comfort fit platinum band as like others wanted something plain so that my engagement ring stood out still.

The tradition is to have a plain band, then after the birth of your first child you get an eternity ring.

I'm curious about this - is the eternity ring worn INSTEAD of the wedding ring? Or on the same finger? Or on a different finger? I'd like one, but I like the way my E&W rings sit right now and there's no space on that finger!

No, it's usually worn in front of your engagement ring, on the other hand.

Your rings (from your knuckle) should go: wedding band, engagement ring, eternity ring.

It depends what kind of eternity ring you get though. If it a band with diamonds, then usually it would fit nicely in front of your engagement ring. However if it's the more traditional 3 stone ring (each stone represents your past, present and future together) then it would be more comfortable to wear it on the other hand
