Wedding-Rings-Thoughts?

[onyxfemme]

So if you are going to wear a ring for the rest of your life (supposedly) shouldn't the woman have a part in picking her wedding ring?

Understanding that a marriage/union is a beautiful thing that a ring symbolizes, so why not make it a symbol that both of you like?

What about the fellas? Can we get something other than the gold washer? What about creative bands that allow us to floss a little? These for example...

...I don't wear jewlery like that, but when I get married, I'm not going with the simple gold band. Something like the ones above will be on my finger. It won't be big and gaudy like my wife's, but at the same time, it will allow me to shine like she is...

I dont care what the ring looks like, just as long as I can quickly slip it off as need be.

SEE THAT IS WHAT I JUST SAID!

I am going to bling NO doubt so would my man/husband.

I'm not sure on this one. If I do decide to get married, why can't my wife to be, be happy with the ring I present.

Onyx, correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but it sounds to me that some women are not happy with their ring presented by their hubby to be.

In addition for some women, it will be all about the biggest and brightest ring on her finger, no matter what the cost.

 

[onyxfemme]

Yeah young grasshopper learns well

good taste

 

[onyxfemme]

I agree...I really do...
All I am saying is, why cant she "help" pick or simply "pick" the ring? I mean some women are just into jewelry and some just want a big ring.

For example-ME I LOVE DIAMONDS...Cant help it...If I decided to go down the aisle one more time, I want to have say in the ring because I will be wearing it for the rest of my life.

I dont need a big wedding or show boat spectacle of a day....Me and my man and the justice of peace w/ my 3ct white gold diamond showstopper....Would suit me just fine

On reflection to your statement above, I do agree with what you've said.

For myself I don't really mind what ring I have. Its the marriage that counts for me more than how flossy my or my wife's ring is.

 

[jucurious]

correct me if i'm wrong but i thought he picked out the ring as a sentiment to her...not she flat out picks it outs and he buys it.

I mean I thought that he is supposed to ask your friends and family to go with him to pick out rings to see what you might like and it's supposed to be a surprise.

besides...he's buying it and if I was a dude and the woman I'm supposed to marry is flippin over the ring or being mad ungrateful (unless the thing is horrible) I would be really hurt.

I mean he might not be able to afford your "dream ring" so you might get something "less"...hell, upgrade every 5 or 10 yr anniversary...iono

On the flip side, if my husband was into that, I would buy him some bling lol

i find it not being a good sign when a woman has opinion/input on a ring that a man is buying.

 

[SWATLANTA]

I won't be wearing a ring, and she shouldn't expect some gaudy piece of jewelry either. I want my wife with a nice classy piece on her finger, not some ridiculous piece of junk to make her friends jealous...

I feel you on that. The ring a woman wears should symbolize the love between her and her husband, it's not about making other women jealous. Also, I think at some point the ring will come off my finger as well. I think at that point I'll put it on a necklace and rock it like that. Whatever the case, my wife and I will wear our rings for the reasons they're intended for, not to show off. In that case, we'll be all good...

That is actually how I would prefer to wear my ring, and I want it to be a simple piece. I hate wearing anything on my hands or my wrists...

 

[HALO2]

i Don't Think That A Woman Should Be Included In The Ring Selection. If A Man Knows His Woman He Will Know What She Likes.

Good point. I think that's true of any successful relationship, and not just when it comes to things like rings. The people involved in a relationship should know what the other likes and how to deliver it on all fronts...

You are correct. But this is only for some women.



3 carats Onyx?!
I don't think I'd know what to do with my hand with something that big on it.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Halo...





CT, some of the first batch you put up looks great. With that said, shouldn't the rings be an extension of you? A piece of jewelry that blends in effortlessly? I could care less of the engagement ring, long as it has some sort of symbolism. In other words it doesn't have to be a diamond solitaire. However I would like to pick out the bands with my groom to be. Just to to try to make something custom that reflects the both of us.

 

[Mo-Better]

Since your talking about "wedding rings" I can see your point. That really should be a mutual selection. But the engagement ring however should be the man's choice alone.

 

[4North1Side2]

My Wife picked out all her rings. Usually we'll be strolling the mall and I would insist on going to the jewlery store. My Wife has very nice 1.5 carat quad cut princess cut wedding band. I'm mad, her sister in law got married n picked the same exact ring so now I want to get her something different.

My first wedding ring was a silver band from Wal-Mart for $12.52...My Wife wasn't ok with me having that because she hated that I'm so cheap for myself but buy her more extravagant things. Honestly I would take a watch over a ring anyday.

Year later I got this. Tungsten Carbide Ring with Black Carbon Fiber inlady and a tiny diamond in the middle.

You would think that the ring and my Accutron Gemini were actually a set

I am looking to cop this next. $75.99 on Overstock.com

Not really she should give a clue the kind of ring she wants like white or yellow gold platnium etc and give some suggestion for type and color diamond

But that's basically it


You must also take into consideration that your loved one may already have picked one out for you

Hey as long as it aint no diamenelles and you have real rocks and he come home every night

Ya good

When my unc got married he and his wife got matching watches. But then again I think their relationship is suspect...

 

[onyxfemme]

EXACTLY! Once again you know me so well! I am not talking about engagement rings! But the wedding ring!!

Your wife does have great taste! I really like your ring also! Nice choice

What he said.. this is what I've seen, the Man picks the engagement ring (usually based on hints she's dropped, or in my friends case picked out) but the wedding rings are something they've shopped for together, but every relationship is different. I would like for mine to be a joint decision... I do want something more than just a gold band though like CT said

 

[2jzmk3]

those black ones are pretty dope. who makes those?

I don't think a woman should pick her own ring. My wife just threw subtle hints whenever we were in the mall at a jewelry store trying to give me an idea of what she liked. Really I didn't like some of the styles she picked, so I went and got what I wanted her to have. She is way more happier with the ring I picked, rather than the ones we looked at together. It's not what the woman wants, it's what the man wants you to have. And in the end, it's just a symbol of your union no matter the size. A man could give you a 3 karat ring and beat the crap outta you or a ring from Wal-Mart and treat you like a queen.

Friz you wild son!

But as far as the rings go... I think I would want to pick out wifey's rings on my own... and MAYBE with some input from her mom, aunt, best friend or sister. I'd like to think by the time we get to that point, I'd know her well enough to where I could pick out something that she'd like. There will be plenty of other things throughout the marriage that she can pick out.

 

[onyxfemme]

No need to say sorry then that you think its ugly-Eh-you know how it is opinions are like assholes everyone has one...And some well they just are...

They came from this website...

I was just keeping with what I've known to be tradition. But times have changed and as you said every relationship is different.
