Hi ladies.
I've a few questions for you all regarding the choice of wedding bands. My fiance and I are getting married on July 27th, and we spent this weekend browsing bands, trying to decide what we'd both like. His is a relatively simple choice-a tungsten carbide band with a platinum centerband.
I, however, am finding it much harder to decide. I absolutely feel in love with this band: http://jeffcooperdesigns.com/item.php?cat=4&item=42.
The clincher for me is the asscher sidestones (my e-ring is a fancy blue diamond asscher centerstone with trillion sidestones, set in platinum. You can see it here: http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewe...oes-yours-look-like-18567-66.html#post5408511).
The only problem is the price. It's a $4,000 ring. It's not beyond reasoning for us, as we make good money, but it's more than we anticipated spending. Combined, we were going to spend $4,000 on rings. With the skyrocketing costs of platinum, it's a tough choice. But I also know that I never want to upgrade my wedding set, and I should get a ring I'll be just as in love with fifty years from now.
My questions are these:
-What helped you to make a decision when picking out your own bands?
-Is the cost of a ring really worth it to you?
-What did you looks for when choosing a band?
-Has anyone been "forced" to settle for a band they didn't really love as much as another?
-What's an appropriate amount to spend on a band?
Thanks, lovelies!
