wedding bands

[Babbles]

I have almost the exact same ring.

Palladium scratches very easily.
Mine started out looking like the picture and now it is 100% covered in scratches and appears dull grey.

I don't mind and actually like it better that way, but it someone is looking for it to stay glossy forever, do not get palladium.

e-weddingbands.com has awesome deals, BTW.

The color of mine really hasn't seemed to have dulled, but it has been scratched up - and it's only been worn for nine months now.

I don't mind the scratches because I think it gives it more depth without having a design cut into the ring itself. When it was brand new it looked nice, but in that almost too shiny and perfect sort of nice. With the scratches it has a bit more character.

Just a white gold band.

Don't do white gold.

That's what I did.

White gold is a chemical reaction that's done on regular gold since all gold is really golden colored. It will wear out and it will start turning golden and look like shit real fast.

I replaced mine with this ring for $50 and couldn't be happier. You cannot scratch this ring, it will never fade, it will always look brand new.

I lost mine so I guess it was a good thing it only cost like $35. Simple white gold band. It did start to look kind of brassy but that was okay. About once a year I think maybe I should replace it.

Personally I avoid gold as much as possible. I don't like the destruction that is left behind to get it.

What? I put the corpses back in their graves. It's not like anyone is going to check the teeth again.

Old gold is better, but its the process used to mine new gold the bothers me.

i thought about gold, because it is what my father had, but tungsten seemed the best of all worlds. looks good, durable, cheap. It's just a metal circle after all, and I have no concerns dragging it on bricks, rocks, etc.

I guess instead of creating a new thread, I'll resuscitate this one.

I'm looking for a golden-color wedding band, primarily because it looks better with my skin tone. Do I have any alternate options (like Tungsten or Titanium for the silver/white look) other than 18k, 14k, or 10k gold?

My ring is tungsten with a gold inlay... I forget, but I believe it was 18k gold.

Mixed metal ring maybe.

Those are both tungsten.

I like mokume-gane rings, cool mixed metal effect.

The Moody Blues.

Oh I'm sorry.

Yeah, I've considered a bit more silver/white to match the fiancée's ring, but maybe with a bit of gold as well. And an 8mm ring is just too big for me.

I've considered:

step 1: acquire scrap gold
step 2: melt scrap gold with blowtorch
step 3: ???
step 4: profit!

Just pour the molten gold around your finger, it'll be a custom fit that no jeweler could ever replicate.

FYI I hate my tungstan. It's so heavy and thick. I tried on my bro in laws titanium ring and loved how thin and light it was, didn't even feel like I was wearing a ring.

This coming from a guy that has never had any kind of ring or hand jewelery ever. It's been two years since I got married and the ring still drives me nuts.

That's an easy way to make 14k gold! 14 parts gold... 10 parts finger!

 

[silverpig]

$30 and it doesn't scratch

http://www.amazon.com/Tungsten-Carbi...5162517&sr=8-6

That's pretty much what I got. It wasn't $30 as I got it in a jewellery store, but I'm very happy with it and I get a lot of compliments because of it's blue-grey colour.

 

[CraigRT]

I like simple Titanium, no patterns.
Nice and light as stated above.

 

[rivan]

I just have a plain palladium ring - better than white gold, but cheaper than platinum. I did not care for most of the men's bands, too many of them reminded me of those tribal tattoos that were really popular a few years back. I wanted something a bit more classic.
Something like this:

Exactly what I have, but larger, and platinum.

Here is my palladium band after 7 months.
The inside is still mirror finish, but the exterior is worn a lot.

 

[vi edit]

e-weddingbands.com has awesome deals, BTW.

Got my titanium band from these guys 7 years ago. Still looks almost like new and I'm not easy on it. Love how light and comfortable titanium is.

 

[MiniDoom]

tungsten is the best.
