Help me find a wedding ring

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

So my wedding is just a few weeks away, and for a variety of very good reasons, I have yet to get a wedding ring. (CrazyCatLady already has hers.)

I’m looking for something simple but unique and not too expensive. I’ve seen some Celtic knot rings that I liked. I’m not particular about metals.

Any suggestions?

Congrats, Dr. J!

I’ve always been a fan of the Greek key rings, which is what my brother used when he got married. It’s plain, simple, and IMHO looks pretty cool.

I’ve got a plain gold band. That’s all I wanted; I was pregnant and knew I didn’t want something elaborate to get yucked up.

Mazel tov!

I liked the tacori collection, well the serendipity actually but this site has some pretty bands. www.tacori.com

You could check bridal magazines. Thats where I found this site.

I like jewelry with character, so I’d probably look at antique rings or a pawn shop.

I chose an opal ring for my wedding ring. The symbolism of it appealed to me, I think.

Happy wedding day!
Best,

Thanks for the suggestions. I really like the Greek Key ring.

Any more ideas?

You might check out this site for Celtic wedding rings .

I have to warn you that whoever designed that web site should be slapped around with a trout, repeatedly and without mercy. But the jewelry is beautiful, and they have a very wide selection of celtic knot designs.

I have this ring and it is holding up nicely. Scott Kay

I just got this email from Walmart:

1/2 Carat Diamond Ring, $144.00

I wonder if that would do? No picture came with it.

handy, did they bother to say if that was 1/2 Carat TW (total weight) or one big honking half carat? If it’s TW it’s probably a buttload of diamond chips and other assorted crap in there.

Doctor J, When fizzy and I went looking at rings, the best site we found was zales.com, which seems to have a pretty good combination of decent-quality stuff, decent prices and decent selection.

Best of luck:)

My husband and I have stainless steel wedding bands. ( Here is an example.)

We love the idea: for us, stainless steel is the perfect metaphor for our relationship: durable, stainless, modern, and unconventional without advertising it as such. However, lots of people think it’s really weird, or, worse, cheap, which was never a motivation for us.

Manda JO, that is really cool. I wish I’d thought of it when I got married. But NOOOO, I went with the boring old gold band. It’s nice and wide, though…that’s what I was concerned about.

I’m looking at really cool titanium bands - amazingly light…

I went to Costco & they have really nice rings & very reasonable prices. Even a regular 14k band (about 6mm wide) was only about $70.00 They have smaller markup I guess.
