Of course it's not wrong.

I have a white/gold carosel(sp??) ring (the white bit has diamonds in it, and it spins. Hence the carosel)

Dh has his dad's old ring.

They certainly don't match.

Nooo not at all. My wedding ring is yellow gold (not married yet BTW ring was left to me) and dp was titanium. Don't think it matters really. Maybe for the rings pic it might not look perfect but who regularly looks at that!

(someone is going to come along and tell me that they have a massive framed picture of their hands showing their rings)

LadyTophamHatt · 19/05/2006 20:03

On CSI the other night they discovered a couple weren't a couple by their mismatching wedding rings!!

Wear what you like. We both have platinum as we don't like gold. Each to their own and all that.

Gem13 · 19/05/2006 20:07

My hands are brown already cod. It has been a warm May up until now.

Ours don't match - mine yellow gold, DH's titanium or something like that.

I prefer white, but decided yellow went with the engagement ring (although I planned to wear that on the other hand).

Oh, we do have a photo of hands/rings (not huge and framed ), and it looks really nice regardless of the different coloured rings - you are different people, regardless of a wedding

Do your hands match? No. So no need for your rings to. Unless you wear the same shade of nail varnish?

eidsvold · 19/05/2006 23:10

have what you want - don't have to match - dh and I both had white gold but he had a patterned ring and I went for plain.

My white gold looks fab scaly one but then I don't have pasty white english hands
