Wedding Rings do they have to match?????

41 replies

Dyzzidi · 15/02/2005 15:47

Could any of you help me we are planning our wedding and have been looking at wedding rings our personal styles are very different so the big question is do they have to match.

We both want Gold but I would like diamonds and he hates anything like that.

PLEASE help this is becoming a pain!!

Nah!!!!!!!!!! Ours don't match

clairabelle · 15/02/2005 15:49

No ours don't mine's platinum with diamonds and dh's is gold.

Kelly1978 · 15/02/2005 15:49

I don't see why they have to match. DP is indian and he insists that when we get married I should have a big diamond ring, cos this is common in their culture, and plain gold bands are just seen as boring for women. I'm not so sure myself!

you can have matching rings that work for both of you though

the same shaped band can be set with diamonds, or done plain

I think its nice when they do match slightly (but what do I know DH refused point blank to wear a ring at all)

NameChangingMancMidlander · 15/02/2005 15:54

They don't have to, but I think it's nice. DH and I have matching titanium wedding rings. I agree that it is possible to get a similar look without themn being identical.

He has tried that one but I have put my foot down. My partner has hughe hands as his is 6 ft 7 and then little me at 5ft5 with tiny hands so all the ones he likes are too thick for me and the sets we have found don't do different widths!

Mine is 4mm wide and DH's is 8mm

Not at all. Dh has a russian wedding ring and I have a white gold and gold mixture.

It's up to you, do whatever suits you IMO!

NameChangingMancMidlander · 15/02/2005 16:00

It wasn't from a chain. We got ours from an independent in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter

FineFigureFio · 15/02/2005 16:00

ours dont match. Mine is one of thoise weird shaped ones to go round my engagement ring anyway

NameChangingMancMidlander · 15/02/2005 16:02

My engagement ring is an odd shape too, but I just got our jeweller to cut a piece out of my wedding band and the 2 fit together perfectly.

jabberwocky · 15/02/2005 16:04

Not at all. We the same engraving around (Celtic runes) but his is white gold, mine platinum and yellow gold with a diamond.

Pages of shiny gorgeousness here...

Or here

Dazie · 15/02/2005 16:07

My husbands ring is a plain white gold band and mine has seven Dimonds in. I dont think they have to match but I do think you need to be sure you like what you are wearing as its going to be on there for a long time!!!!!

NameChangingMancMidlander · 15/02/2005 16:08

The second link has a 'customize ring' option, which allows you to alter the width

We got ours from that gold place in Cornwall.

I wanted white gold, and dp who is a bit indifferent agreed, we found a lovely one each. His has a matching girls one, which isn't the one I got. His is thick, brushed gold with one diamond. Mine is very thin, brushed gold with diamonds all round.

THey don't match, but because of the colour and diamonds they seem similar.

Ahhh, some of those rings are gorgeous. We bought our rings from one of the trillion of jewellers in Gibraltar. It is so ickle that you barely notice it. I wish I had made DH pay for a really swish one.

lilibet · 15/02/2005 16:15

Not at all - we're getting married on Friday and our rings are completely different

Ours are the same precious metal (platinum) but not the same make/designer. Mine has a diamond, DH's is a plain band

roseybump · 15/02/2005 16:28

we had totally different rings (mine platinum and diamonds, his plain gold band) but by same designer (not that it matters!) - different shaped paws means different rings!
