I
spent a little bit of time thinking about what I wanted. My engagement ring is
fairly simple ring with a round stone set in a very thin pave band made up of little
round diamonds. Non-matching wedding rings are becoming very popular. I think
it looks great and there’s something so brave about going with something
nontraditional and having the confidence to carry it off. Check this one out:
I
definitely can’t afford to get more diamonds or bigger diamonds so I thought
maybe I can get a metal other than white gold. Such as rose gold! I looooooove
rose gold right now. I have this beautiful rose gold watch that I got for my
birthday. I wanted to try out the look before committing to it, so I ordered a fake rose gold thin pave
ring from a costume jewelry store.
I like it! But, let’s be honest… my love for rose gold might not last forever and I am not a brave person. Thus, I decided to stick with a matching band. I tried a few others things at the jewelry store just to check, but it only confirmed that I should go with a matching band.

Until
they told me the price… It was double the price of my engagement ring setting.
WOAH! Why you ask? More diamonds? Nope. Better diamonds? Nope. Better metal?
Nope. It was more expensive than my setting because the price of gold has been
sky rocketing. Sad face.
I
literally almost burst into tears because I had no idea what we were going to
do. Wes was so wonderful. He told me that we could get it and that we would
just figure it out. While I am sure this what any girl wants to hear, I just
couldn’t spend the money. The lady could see that she wasn’t going to get a
sale out of me and that I was really upset. That’s when she said that they had
older rings sitting around that were ordered back when the price of gold was
less and that they would be cheaper. We went through them and found one that is
almost exactly the same as my engagement setting. Bingo. It was half the cost
of the “matching” wedding ring.
Here
it is!
This
ring doesn’t fit perfectly up against my engagement ring, but I can live with
that.
Maybe
from time to time I'll slip the rose gold ring between the two to change it up. J
