Curious- does FH ring match yours??

mlw, on June 20, 2011 at 9:18 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 53

I don't know why I am stuck on having his ring match mine. Maybe it's traditional, old-school, OCD... lol But more, and more they are coming out with mens rings that don't look like ordinary, boring bands. So I am curious how many here let your FH pick a ring *he* liked, that perhaps did not match your "set"??

Thanks!!

    I don't have pictures yet because he hasn't picked the one that he wants for sure.......but I have seen what he likes so far and it's not going to match mine. And I'm totally fine with that! I want him to have a ring that *he* likes.

    We haven't bought our rings yet, but so far what he's been looking at looks nothing like what will go with my engagement ring. I think it's nice if they match, but each person has to wear it every day for the rest of his/her life, too, so both should like what they get whether they match or not!

    We havent gotten ours yet but these are (going to be) mine and FH. Note - FH will actually be getting a plain band but personalized with an engravement of.... the transformers symbol (or something similar) haha FH's brother had green lantern symbol engraved into his band and every since FH has had his heart set on something similar so I am lettng him choose what he wants Smiley smile if he doesnt get a plain silver band engraved then hell probably end up with something like the other posted below Smiley smile

    I def didnt expect his to match mine but I do have friends whos do. Talk to FH and let him know what is important to you Smiley smile

    Ours don't match. His is a faceted diamond cut style. It's very nice.

    I'll have to take a pic of it

    Our's don't match exactly, but we tried to find something for FH that would match fairly closely. Both are white gold with a yellow gold band in the middle. Both have a sort of swirly aesthetic (mine in the metal and the diamonds, FH's in the etching on the metal). We are very happy with our choices. Here is mine and then the stock photo of his.

    We haven't made our purchases yet but I'm positive that his ring will not match my ring.

    I like the idea of our rings being a little different.

    Not at all!

    But, I can't wear my diamonds while working so I am getting a ring that matches Hubby's but opposite colors.

    My ring is platinum, and he doesn't think platinum looks good with his skin color, so he's probably going to go with yellow gold ring, so ours will definitely not match. And I'm okay with that. Smiley smile

    I think part of it, for me, is that feeling connectivity.

    NotFroofy definitely wanted our bands to match--which was particularly challenging, as the one she was giving me was inherited from her grandmother back in Wales. However, I managed to find one that although not an exact match, is close enough so that you wouldn't notice the difference unless you were really focused on it.

    @TheFutureMrsJTW, FH really wanted a ring that matched mine in some sort of way. We spent a long time online at Amazon looking at rings for FH and when we finally saw that one, we both went, "Yup. That's the one". It is nice to have that connectivity, for sure.

    Yes and no. LOL DH isn't an 'all out blingy' guy. So his is 18K white gold like mine, but it was purchased in Dubai by my Dad and mine is from Nelson Signature Bridal. His is just a plain band that is rounded on the top, if that makes sense..LOL
