Wedding rings from the same place?

Yeah I know about this! I'm thinking too if I need to get both of them dipped eventually wouldn't it be so much easier to get them done at the same place?

Oh those look so good together! Would never know that it was not a set

My wedding band and e-ring are from the same place, but FH got his band at an entirely different place due to pricing. I wanted to keep mine at the same place for the reasons you mentioned, inspections and what not.

Thank you! Yes i definitely need to get a custom or specific ring to make it flush

Very interesting, i never knew this.. Is it something they would do as a part of regular cleanings?

Yeah this is what I'm leaning towards doing. I feel like I'd rather spend a little more $ on mine just to make my life easier so I can get the inspections and stuff done all at the same place. I guess I just feel like if we're getting our wedding rings "together" they should be bought together? Idk that's probably a stupid reason though lol.

Yes! So I go to Diamonds Direct and they do it for free. They have a quick clean option that just polishes the ring up and takes like 5 minutes, but the "dipped" option takes like an hour. So I just drop my ring off then go next door to eat or something and I'm being 100% serious that it looks like an absolutely brand spanking new ring when they're done. I cleaned mine for my engagement photos last year and remember not wanting to wear it for the rest of the day until the photos because I forgot how perfect my ring can look.

Honestly it probably would be more convenient, but is it worth it to spend the extra money? Maybe you can go to your store and ask if they have any budget rings! As long as they're gold and not like sterling silver lol it shouldn't matter.

Diamonds direct is so great! (my cousin works there and i wish FH would have gotten her help and discounts but there's a reason he picked Kay - another story) But yeah! I will have to see if KAY does in house cleanings and the "dipping" !

My e-ring is from an independent designer based out of San Diego. My wedding band is from Kay because I randomly stopped in to see if they had anything to fit my oddly shaped e-ring and happened to find something that fit perfectly and was shockingly affordable. Bought it on the spot. FH's ring is from Etsy. Our rings don't match at all, but that works for us.

When I got the warranty on the wedding band, they said I could bring my e-ring in with it for the every 6 month check up/cleaning, but I don't think I will. I think they send them away for cleanings and I've heard so many horror stories that I just don't trust them with a ring that wasn't purchased through them. If they lose it, it's just straight up gone. For peace of mind, I'm totally OK with taking my e-ring to a trusted local jeweler if I need it cleaned/repaired.

To respond to the OP, I'm getting my wedding ring made by the same jeweller that did my custom engagement ring. Mostly because finding what I want and not going down the custom route would be difficult or impossible. I enjoyed working with Jason immensely through the first process, his prices were very competitive against big box jewellers and I prefer to give local businesses my money. Fortunately we wildly over-budgeted what the engagement ring would cost and it turned out that amount would include wedding rings for us both and change.

I've already planned to take my engagement ring to him 2wks before the wedding to get it re-plated so both rings will look shiny and new on the day.
