Only1cliff Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Got my wife a platinum and diamond engagement ring, so she picked a plane platinum wedding band for her wedding ring, and i picked a plane platinum wedding band for mine. We went to the Birmingham Jewellry Quater and found there were loads of shops to look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Platinum for both of hers. Mine is titanium and featherweight. I don't wear jewelry or watches, so i wanted something i wouldn't notice. Titanium fits the bill. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scobydog Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Mine is titanium, looks good and will last forever, but can't get fat as it is not adjustable, oops, whatever you choose I'm sure she will be delighted and very good luck.

Paddy Galore! Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 on topic, the wife and i got new ones about 12 yrs ago, we had yellow gold ones which were a bit cheap originally, we ended up with heavy white gold bands, mine is a little scuffed so i've stopped wearing it for work, they do need plating every now and then though.

Harry Not drastically mate I think ours was about £800-1000 for the pair which you can spend on standard gold I guess, they was about the only thing we've ever agreed on so was worth it.
