While trying on some styles, we spotted three that we were definitely drawn to. They were the Lucida, band ring, and five row band ring. All were cool, and I totally support my love's choice since he will be wearing it and has his own cute sense of style, so the final decision was his. It was just funny, though, that the one that I fancied most was slightly different to his choice. I really liked the five row band ring while he was leaning toward the much simpler 4mm band ring. As we compared the characteristics of the two, our consultant mentioned that the 4mm band ring has a more traditional look, and then we knew which one he was meant to have.
Above is the Lucida ring. Gorgeous and simple and shiny :)
The 6mm band ring. It took up more space on his finger but was also a contender.
The five row band ring is still my favorite. The ridges provide texture that I really like.
My love and I have two different styles that somehow meet in the middle. He's traditional with some modern interests. I am modern with some traditional values. He's like an argyle sweater while I'm a wave printed cardigan. I hope that makes sense. Here is more evidence of the style per our closet.
Above is a swatch of my favorite cardigan. Yellows, golds, creams all flowing together. :)

And so we chose the band ring, which fits his traditional style quite well.How did you and your love choose wedding bands? Did either of you have a say? How did it reflect your personal style?

OMG, My husband may have the same wedding band, I think. I have my wedding band from them as well.
He wanted a simple platinum, nothing fansy.... The only thing that he didn't like about the ring was that it gets scratched a lot. But it's still a gorgeous looking ring.
Wow, congratulations - you both must be excited!
thanks :)
we are a bit afraid of it getting scratches, but it's just too pretty to pass up.
How exciting that you've found his ring! When we were looking for my now husband's ring, we started looking at platinum bands so as to match my ring. My husband, being a traditional, conventional man, couldn't see spending the money on his ring, so, despite my pleas, we decided on a titanium band still with a traditional look. Its light weight, was light on the pocket book and he loves it! (Plus, he thought it was cool that airplanes are made from the same material...ha, men!) ;)
P.S. I've awarded you on my latest blog post :)
hello there! thanks for stopping by my blog. Love yours already with the tiffany & co post :)
my hubs has two rings, a custom jade ring and then one from tiffany's that he wears every day. (the jade one is a bit too big to wear every day).
@Bride Sophisticate: titanium sounds like a really cool alternative. i like that he connected the ring to airplanes.
@Tiffany: love that your husband has a jade ring. i love jade
