Hi jewelry lovers. I need some suggestions for my wedding band because I do not know what to pick. For my fiancé, I got her a VC cushion halo ring and getting likely the matching eternity band for it.
For myself, I like nice and fancy things. The only thing that I will wear that I consider accessories are watches and I like fine watches. I never thought much about wedding bands till yesterday when I started to look for them.
I decided that I like a 5 mm band and want something that is not yellow and more with a matte finish like matte platinum or something of that nature. I decided that I didn't want yellow gold plated with white b/c I would have to refinish it every once in a while. I tried on a ring that was made of palladium and liked it more than platinum b/c it was lighter.
I called Victor Canera and asked him if he could make me a ring of palladium and he said that it is also plated and so I would have to refinish it also one day (which I don't want to do). So he suggested a platinum ring.
My best friend has a titanium ring and it looks a little darker than I want. Tthe price is a huge difference (in the range 10x less the cost of custom platinum ring).
What do you all suggest that I get or consider?
The cost of the VC band for myself isn't a budget issue, but I am wondering if I "need" it or it is "worth it to me." My priorities are in terms of importance are: longevity and minimal wear/tear/hassles, cost, and weight (I prefer lighter weights, but I will not wear this during work and only on weekends so it's less important). Width of band is easily controlled and color can be picked based on type of material. It does feel kind of lopsided and weird that she would have like 20k+ of jewelry and I have a $200 band...Thanks for thoughts!!!
