I think maybe I am just a cheepskate...... My H2B isnt wearing a wedding ring at all, and my wedding ring came from Rowletts the Jewellers. a 2mm yellow gold band...I didnt choose it because of the price, I wanted a thin ring ever since I saw Katherines when she married Prince William, I thought how nice and simple and elegant it looked and thats what I wanted. And the kicker is......It was only £50.....and its not flimsey or thin, its nice and weighty........what a bargain....( a bit cheaper than Katherines i bet!)
How much did you pay for your rings....... am I the cheapest here? but it really doesnt bother me cos i wouldnt change it, because I love it.
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorMrs Badger
Mine was £175, reduced from £250 :D and h2b's was £6 - he doesn't want to wear a ring so just got him a cheap one for the ceremony. xx

CommentAuthorbarbie86
We're looking at getting ours from an independent jeweller, and so far, the jeweller I like best has quoted me £550 for a custom-made 9ct white gold and diamond band for me, £170 for a 3mm heavy-weight plain palladium D-shaped band for me, and £275 for a 5mm D-shaped medium-weight palladium band for OH; so, around £1k total.
I had originally planned to get a platinum band, and have my e-ring reshanked in platinum, which would have cost around £1.5k, but decided against it. Instead, I'm planning on treating myself to a £3K platinum and diamond right-hand ring when I finish my PhD :-)
CommentAuthorUnknown
mine was £399 and ed's was £399 too. it doesnt matter what the cost as long as you love it! xx
CommentAuthorGabyS
I dont think the price of it matters its what it symbolises... Mine could cost 30 pound from argos and it wouldnt bother me x
We're getting a set of titanium rings, 4mm and 3mm both together cost £51 ;D

CommentAuthorLea&joe
I dont think the cost of the ring matters!! I had this convo with H2b the other day, as I would like a simple band as i have a diamond e-ring with a main stone and then diamonds down the side....I think we are looking at £100 each tops. He's not even keen on having one (as he doesn't wear jewellry - but I have advised him that he will be wearing one! hehe) At the end of the day, if in 20 years time we need to get new ones, then so be it! x
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
I think I won. Unless we come into money mine is going to be £16 for wedding band and eternity ring.
Not sure on h2b I'm waiting for him to pick one.
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
i agree that as long as you are happy with your ring then its priceless to you ...... but now i feel like im boasting with my ring i hope no one feels that i am
Ours came to £56 they were in a sale and plus they are silver so they'll be cheaper anyway
CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
My platinum one was freeeeeeee.....kinda. All it cost was my mum's life?? Lol sorry, bad joke. Mine was my mum's so I'm using hers and I hope one of my kids/grandchildren will wear it after me :)
H2b's ring will probable be a tungsten one in a platinum colour. Maybe less than £50

Ours were £1400 for both. Mine's 3mm platinum with 8 diamonds (4 each side of the curve) and I designed it myself, and hubby's is 6mm palladium with bevelled edge. We got a 40% discount on them too, according to the certificate of insurance! I know it may seem expensive, but we both agreed that we wouldn't skimp on these as they're the thing that will stay with us from the day forever (apart from each other, of course LOL)!

CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
we bought them in store when we were in vegas last year
I don't think it's boasting lala, I've put this on a few posts from other people too - if you can afford to spend then why not!!
H2b is looking a a titanium ring with a brushed steel band (I think that's what it is) for around £200. Mine is 18 ct white gold, it's being made to fit around my engagement ring and it's a bargain at £375.
If only life could be one long tea break
CommentAuthorJill
H2b got his 6mm palladium for £140 in some sale online, mine is a 4mm white gold for £200. It's just a plain white band but I love it x

CommentAuthorNicsquared
Ours were £1450 in total for a 5mm heavy platinum ring for h2b and mine is a twisted platinum ring with 6 diamonds (i think lol) I struggled to find one to fit my e-ring as it sticks out and flat rings didnt sit properly and the only twisted one they had was sparkly :)

CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
kaya & James.....thats a really nice idea.... H2B doesnt want a ring, and i am fine with it, and really its a relatively new for men to wear a wedding ring, and in a strange way, I really want it the 'old fashioned way', and as we're having a vintage wedding theme I suppose it fits in there too....call me weird but its what I want, and its somewhat unusual these days.

Paid £900 for both in platinum heavy weight, 3mm and 6mm, bargain!! C x

Engraved for that price to! C x
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
I was thinking it might be nice to have my ring engraved.....but its only 2mm so I think it might be too narrow?

£800 for both! Mine's an 18k Diamond set V shaped band, and his is palladium, with a scored centre ridge.
CommentAuthorMrs Cerutti2b
Mine was £299, and H2B was £399, I was hoping to have my mums wedding ring, but it didn't fit :( and to stretch it the design would have been ruined. which was such shame, but I love my ring, and can't wait to wear it! x
CommentAuthorclare0481
I wanted a plain band as I don't want to take any emphasis off how beautiful my engagement ring is! C x
CommentAuthorMrs Cerutti2b
I was going to have a plain band, but I went for a very plain engagement ring. So I got some diamonds in my wedding ring. Got them sorted today, so I'm feeling a bit excited by them lol x
CommentAuthorMrsC2b
mine is £1500 and H2B's is £500 from Furrer-Jacot. Totally and utterly fell in love with my wedding ring it is just beautiful :)

Mine is £140 and h2b is £350 I just wanted a plain simple gold ring its lovely and elegant looking. H2b wanted a really broad ring so we have went for them and we also get a discount as h2b bought the engagement ring there. But like anyone else on here it doesnt matter about money its what it means to us and we both fell in love with them.

CommentAuthormadhen
we've been quoted about £1000 for ours - mine will be platinum to match the e-ring, h2b's palladium as that's a bit cheaper for big rings! then we get a 20% discount as bought the e-ring in same local jewellers so i guess around 800... seems ours are on the pricey side :(
CommentAuthorsuzky123
well david said he wanted to spend a fair bit on the rings as these are to keep so he has gone for a platinum band with black diamonds for abour 2k (we got a deal on this tho but not sure how good a deal yet haha but had quotes up to 3k bloody hell for just plain platinum) so is having that made in april. I went for an eternity band in platinum believe it or not made of 0.90 carats pretty diamonds for about 2k aswell. I love it. It matches my e.ring as this had to be changed due to the problems we had with it so its nice it all matches. I have mine here but hubby to be wants to wait until he loses weight incase he looses podge off his finger haha!

Mine was £250 and husband's was £325. We bought them from F Hinds. I found mine online but when I saw it in the shop it looked just as good (patterned yellow gold). Husband couldn't decide at first, but wanted something that wasn't too shiny as he doesn't usually wear jewellery. We trekked round most of the high street jewellers - then he finished up back at F Hinds as well and his is a brushed, matt yellow gold.

We haven't bought ours yet but will probably spend the most on them. The way we see it is that they are going to last us a lifetime and we don't want to have to replace one as it won't have been blessed by the vicar so wouldn't be the same xxx

Mine was £180 and h2b's £225. We wanted chunky ones so both got super heavyweight ones. Mine is 4mm and his 5mm, I know mine's not to a lot of bride's taste but I really love it!

We havent ordered ours yet, hopfully making and appointment with Sm00ch in May to look and pick as mine needs to fit around my e-ring, (pic in my sig) I know I want white gold to match my e-ring and H2B doesnt want anything too fussy as most of the time he wont be wearing it. Price wise, I dont really want to go no more than £800 for both of ours.

Woo just been into a shop in my local town and one of the cool boutique shops sell silver rings. So my ring is going to cost £4.50.
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
We are having a look on Saturday - We are probably going to spend around 200-300 on mine (it has to be made because of the shape of my engagement ring) and 100-200 on my mans. Will find out for certain on Saturday - luckily my man works for a jewellary shop and our rings will be worth a bit more than we pay for them :-)

CommentAuthorbridalmiss
OOh I don't know but we're heading into Birmingham on Saturday to go ring shopping - we've budgeted 750 for mine (18k white gold, channel set with diamonds hopefully) but we're also going to ask about prices if it was in platinum and if my e ring was re-done in platinum too :-)
