How to compare Platinum Comfort Fit wedding bands

[mre]

I hope I''m posting to the right forum. For my wedding band, I want to get a simple 6mm platinum comfort fit ring, but I''m having trouble comparing the online retailers. For this type of band I''m seeing prices range from $1000 - $1500, and I really can''t tell what accounts for the difference in price (non of these are branded rings). What questions should I ask the retailer to make an accurate comparison?

Ask them how much it weighs. A true comfort fit will have to be fairly thick/heavy. You can get a 6mm pt band say size 7 that's 5 grams, and you can get one that is 20 grams. Obviously the 20 gram one is worth aprox. 4x the 5 gram one, and the 5 gram one will definately not be a true comfort fit, not enough material.

Best of luck

Thanks for the answer, that makes sense. That said, is there any general guideline for what weight not to go below.? For example, would a 5g platinum band be considered "cheap"?

what ring size?

for 6mm, say size 7, I''d guess anything less then 12-15g is too thin. For 6mm size 10, I''d guess anything less then 15-18g would be too thin for a true comfort fit. Those are just educated guesses I could be off a bit

Sorry if I don''t reply further, I''m leaving for a week to ensenada, mexico on a cruise

Thanks for the help. My ring size is 9, so I guess my question would be what is the minimum weight I should get for this type of band?
