Mismatched wedding rings

My e-ring and my wedding band are white gold. Fh got a tungsten ring. I don't think your band has to match his. You should each pick out what you like and will feel comfortable wearing. If he has yellow gold and you have white gold no big deal.

Yes, you are. Other than for wedding day ring pictures, who is ever going to notice that his ring doesn't match yours? He's the one wearing it, so it should be something he likes. I think it's actually quite common for his ring to not match hers, especially with the trend towards alternative metals for guys.

FWIW, I hate yellow gold too, so I understand where you're coming from. But it's going to be on his finger, not yours.

Ok, that actually helps ease my mind a bit. Literally every set of wedding bands I have seen in person on friends or family have all been matching. Some even down to the design detailing. So it seemed really strange to me to even consider not matching rings. I just didn't realize it was all that common.

I agree with Jess. You both have to love your rings and wedding day pictures are the only time anyone will really notice that they don't match. My e-ring is white gold with diamonds and my wedding band is going to be white gold with sapphires. They don't completely match each other, but it's what I liked. FH's ring is solid black tungsten cobalt. So really all three rings are mismatch, but we are both happy with the rings that we will be wearing for the rest of our lives. That's the only thing that really matters

Yea, they don't need to match.

They don't need to match. Mine is white gold with diamonds, his will be a mix of white and yellow gold or plain yellow gold. You should both be happy with your rings.

They definitely don't need to match and your band should definitely match your engagement ring, which I'm assuming is NOT yellow gold. Our bands don't match. Don't stress about it. You should both get what you like.

They dont need to match. You could maybe find something they have in common like a detail, the designer or get them engraved

I think that's an old tradition. My mom asked if we got matching ones but we didn't. Mine is platinum to match my engagement ring. And FH's is tungsten. I think he wouldn't wear it if it wasn't something he Didn't like so I'm glad he picked what he wanted.

Ours don't match either.

DH's ring is yellow gold and mine are platinum -- mismatched rings have not jinked our marriage (27 years and counting).

Mine is white gold and his is yellow, I don't see why this would matter at all.

Don't need to match. I like @Mrs in May's idea to have a small detail that matches, or get them engraved.

Mine doesn't match FH's ring...but it doesn't bother me at all. Some people it does, I think if you want to coordinate, find a style you both agree on and he can have yellow gold and you have white gold. Just and idea

Ours wont match either. I think that was a thing 20 years ago but no any more.

My parents wedding bands match. But FH and mines will not. He desperately wants his band to have meteorite in it, and that is just not a look that I want. As others have said, its really not that big a deal. Just make sure you both like your rings.

Actually, from what I recall of BAMs and such, it seems like most people nowadays on here are not matching rings. You definitely don't need to match.

H and I have matching rings, but that's just because we both had the exact same style in mind for what we wanted.

Ours also won't match - mine has diamonds around the band, FHs will be a dark metal (probably black tungsten, but maybe something else). I don't think it matters at all- get what you like!

It's very common for mismatched rings. My FH is set on a tungsten ring, and I'm set on either plain platinum or a diamond band, either way he's going with the tungsten and I will not. It's not a thing anymore I don't think... and besides you're married either way!

I think mixing metals is totally ok. Both of my rings will be platinum & FH is going to custom make one.
