I am having a bit of angst re: wedding bands and I'd appreciate some discussion and pretty pictures. Also my jeweler friend just had a baby and is a little preoccupied so I can't ask my local expert!
I love my engagement ring because it is nothing like what I'd have picked for myself. Simple white gold band, small stones, central ruby flanked with diamonds. However, I feel suffocated whenever I look at wedding bands to go with it. Conventional wisdom is that you should match the metals to keep wear down, but every time I look at what's available in white gold bands I feel disappointed. There are so many beautiful and unconventional bands out there, and I'm stuck with... this? I'm a huge tomboy, I don't want an elegant delicate little wisp of a ring. I am neither elegant nor delicate.
Show me something that'll change my mind, or just show me pretty wedding bands.
These are the kind of rings I actually like, if you'd also like to indulge in looking at unconventional jewelry:
