Budget Wedding Tips - Part 4 of 10: The Rings

My platinum 3mm comfort fit wedding band; Hubby's Tungsten wedding band

The Rings
These are an investment in our opinion, as we'll be wearing them day and day out and hope to do so for many years to come, so we thought long and hard about what to get.

I went with platinum as with my engagement ring, and you can read about where to purchase platinum rings inexpensively in my post here.  You can get a 3mm comfort fit plain wedder in platinum for around $450.

Hubby decided he would like something a bit out of the ordinary and we found a tungsten mens wedder on eBay - it's a great gunmetal grey colour and he loves it.  Again, on eBay from the US, it was a LOT less than a sturdy alternative metal wedder from Australia.  You can pick up a tungsten wedder for around $100, although we can't remember which eBay store we purchased it from!

The only downside to tungsten is that it's so tough and scratchproof that it's claimed you can't resize it.
Finding the correct size was easy with the ring sizers I sourced from the US.  You can find instructions on purchasing a set for yourself in my post here.
