i just bought this (new) wedding band for myself . i have been wanting a plain wedding band for everyday type use for a while now. something a little more utilitarian. the wedding band we bought for the wedding is a lovely white gold engraved little band that is very delicate. it goes so beautifully with the engagement ring, but i don't feel like wearing it everyday. especially if i'm working in the shop. it's funny, when i was first engaged, i thought i'd never want to take my beautiful engagement ring off, i was almost as in love with it as i was with my husband-to-be. but with the everyday reality of my working-wife-mom life, sometimes i feel like it's too special...i found a great store on etsy (big shocker, huh?), titaniumknights, that makes very nice titanium rings. my husband has a brushed titanium band and he just loves it. it's deceivingly lightweight which is what i think he appreciates about it. in fact i'm sure a lot of guys out there--you know the ones, those who feel like they're "suffocating" when they're wearing a ring--they like this metal, or if they don't know about it, they should really take a look at them. and it's not like it's just a crafty-arty-person sort of thing. we got my husband's years ago at nordstrom.
titanium is very light and extremely durable. another bonus for guys (or girls!) who are hard on their jewelry. titaniumknights cuts their rings one at a time, after it is ordered, to precision specs on a CNC (computerized) lathe to jeweler quality exacting standards. each ring is then smoothed/finished by hand one at a time to the finish requested. i got mine in a satin finish which gives it a nice brushed look.
the best thing of all, titanium is extremely affordable. yay! my dear husband can't get mad at me for making an extravagant purchase!
