which platinum band for him?

Platinum Wedding Ring 6mm Flat Brushed Comfort Fit Band PT950


PT950 Platinum Wedding Band 6mm Flat Satin Finish Comfort Fit

We like the comfort fit flat band look.

Same price. What''s the difference? Looks the same to me.

He doesn''t like to wear rings but I also don''t want him to wear a thin feminine/dainty little band. Is 6 mm a good compromise?

Also, can I get this for less anywhere else?

That seems like a good price. Do you know the depth of the bands? That can have an effect on the price.

here is a link to e-weddingbands.com you can add a brush/satin finish for a little bit more extra. just to compare it.

Thanks -
what is the satin/brush finish?
Does it give it the more "dull" look?
what is the difference between them?
I don't see the difference.
How do I choose 1 over the other?
Thanks.

thanks for the link, D & T. I really like how shiny it is - will it dull more easily (I don''t see it mention whether it''s got cobalt & ruthenium to kind of defy this problem)? Am I seeing some "holes" or "purposeful dents" in the ring on the link you sent me or is it just my imagination?

 

[D&T]

here are the finish that they have, you can email them with your question if it has ruthenium, but if I'm understaning correctly cobalt makes it "more shinier" longer? but if you get satin finish wouldn't that defeat the cobalt in question?

ETA: they are quick to respond too

i think i now know what the satin look is? is its purpose to give it the dull look? if so, then we definitely do not want it. shininess = good

 

[D&T]

yep, just stick with the shiny look, and if you decide later that you want more of a satin finish, it can be done later, shouldn''t cost too much.

If you want a shiny look, go for a mirror finish.

The "comfort" bit that''s referred to is actually on the inside of the ring. It''s domed outwards slightly in the middle to give it a more comfortable fit. The outside is "flat" from side to side so not curved at all.

I think the two rings you posted are the same unless the PT weight is different (I forgot to look)!
