Help with wedding ring?

[ClaireCodd]

Im fetting married in oct :-). DP and i had picked our rings. A lovely set for a good price. I went to get my ring size and in doing so tried a few different styles on. I found that the wishbone style fits wonderfuly with my engagement ring (the ring already picked is normal shap).
So falling in love with the fit i search the internet for similar rings. I come across a stunning wishbone shape white gold ring with blue topaz gems in a line on the dip part of ring. I love the colour, (it is our wedding colour).
So my question (finally) is what ate your opinions on having colour in a wedding ring? I personaly like the idea of having our wedding colour forever on my hand. DP says its up to me as its my ring and he will be happy getting his ring separate. Also another question how common is it to have different style ring to your DH?
Advice please ladies.
Thank you

Sorry silly phone. Ment to be getting married, not fretting

You should each go with the ring you love, as long as the other agrees. It really doesn't matter if they're different - better that than one person wearing something that doesn't quit suit. How about setting a topaz flat inside the band of his ring? Might that help?

Simple, plain bands matching is nice but anything else can be a bit odd and somehow 'statementy' IMVHO. Some friends have oneanothers finger prints on their rings, just looks like a pattern / engraving if you don't know what it is. I'd never mention it. Ever. But it really creeps me out somehow.

Of course you could save the topaz wishbone idea for an eternity ring...

Thank you. The set we have picked are simple titanium bands with a small diamond in each. DP will only have titanium due to work and fear of damage. He's not keen on colour and show, the simpler the better for him. Were as like i said the idea of our colour on my ring really appeals to me. But saying that my jewellery for the day are blue topaz, as i couldnt get colour in my dress . So will that be too much?
Sorry im just going round and round in my head, cant sleep so just rambling.

Thank you. My engagement ring is white gold. Im not a lover of yellow.

I had no idea that wedding bands were meant to match! We just chose the rings we liked.

I don't think you need matching wedding rings at all. Just go with what you both like and can live with. Sounds as if you're doing that already but you mustn't wear titanium-its so much harder that gold and would destroy your engagement ring.
I wouldn't go for a stone in your wedding ring. That's for the engagement ring and,perhaps,the eternity ring. Your tastes may well change.

Titanium is harder that white gold so over time will damage the engagement ring, for the same reason the golds should be the same carat.
But it doesnt matter if they match, I don't know anyone of my friends who had matching.

The whole 'diamonds for engagement' thing is nonsense anyway. It was started by the de beers ad agency in the 1930s. Prior to that coloured stones were the way to go!

If you had a titanium and a gold ring together it is likely that the titanium would erode the gold and scratch it.

The higher the carat the softer the gold. A 9ct ring is more durable than 22ct. Most wedding rings tend to go as high as 18ct. If you had a 9ct and an 18ct it wouldnt be much of a problem though- not as much as people make out anyway.

Just do what you like- it's your ring!!!

I think that if you've fallen in love with something specific, then you should have it. My only reservation, is that some stones can be damaged if you wear them all the time and do housework without wearing gloves. My wedding ring is platinum, so pretty sturdy, but I would remove my wedding ring when bleaching the loo etc, if it had stones in (I do remove my engagement and eternity rings).

I don't think it matters if your ring doesn't match your dh's. More important for your wedding ring to look good with your engagement ring, imo. I think it's nice that you've found something which has a special meaning.

Thank you ladies for the response's. I think i will order the ring and see how it looks on as i h e 14 days return if i dont feel its right.
