Sterling silver vs gold ring

So I've been on the hunt for a wedding ring and I'm running into the issue that the styles i really like are way out of the price range, unless they are sterling silver. Is there a huge difference between them ? I obviously would rather just deal with spending a little more on something better...

Is there a huge difference between them ? I obviously would rather just deal with spending a little more on something better quality, especially since ill be wearing it everyday, I'm just having a hard time justifying spending $1000 on a ring when our whole wedding cost $3500 (we are in our early 20s and are more interested in saving for a house and land in this market than an expensive wedding)

    Are you just looking for a wedding band, or the whole set with engagement ring? My wedding band is 10k white gold and was $56. My engagement ring is 14k white gold and I can't tell a difference in them.

    All of my "every day" jewelry is silver and have had no issues with tarnish, although I do agree that silver is softer than gold (I have to have some of my rings re-rounded every now and then at a jeweller as they get misshapen alot). I simply clean it all every other month with a silver cleaning cloth or a silver soak wash for my more intricate items. FH had my engagement ring made in white gold, so that is what I'm getting for my wedding ring. There are affordable white gold and yellow gold options out there, such as Amazon or Wal-Mart (honestly, nobody's going to know or care where you got it...unless you're like my sister). You'll find something. 😊

    My engagement ring and wedding band are gold, but I wore sterling silver rings for years before I was engaged. I never had a problem with them except one had a part that stuck out that was always catching and pulling. It got pulled out of shape once but FH carefully pushed it back and it was fine.
