Plain gold band here. We chose them together and it's exactly what I wanted.

Mine is white with prong set diamonds so you can't see the metal. I guess you can see the prongs but the white gold against the diamonds doesn't stand out. I have a matching engagement ring with a brilliant cut center diamond & halo of small diamonds around it.

My husband and I have matching plain yellow gold bands that we chose together, with an engraving on the inside of the band. I didn't have an engagement ring but I used to wear, with the wedding ring, a jade ring that my husband gave me while we were dating. The two rings looked unusual and perfect together. The jade ring is now in a box waiting for the loose stone to be reset. (Reminder: get this done ASAP!)

This is such an interesting thread, although I'm years away from being married myself. My parents don't have a wedding ring tradition, but my dad bought a simple gold band some years back because he kept getting questions at work about why he was married but not wearing a ring.

Platinum band and platinum and diamond engagement ring. I wear them both every single day, and only take them off for "icky" chores, and when I take them off - we have a tradition where my husband gets down on his knee and proposes to me all over again, usually with a wagging, wiggly black lab in the middle of it all

Same goes if my husband takes his platinum wedding band off for some reason - we don't just put them back on again, but wait until we see each other again, and I will get down on one knee and "propose" to my husband if for some reason he had to take his wedding ring off. So the gist is that we don't put our own rings back on ourselves, rather - the other person 'proposes' all over again. Kind of silly, but it sure brings a lot of joy and fun into things, especially with a giant black lab doggie that somehow insists on being in the middle of it all and being part of the "proposal". It's very cute - one of us is on their knees with a giant black lab right there, both looking up at the ring-less person with googly eyes.

The engagement ring has a centre stone that is round/brilliant cut, and it is flanked by two pear shaped diamonds on either side - with the skinny/pointy ends of the pear-cut diamonds at the outer edge. It looks a little bit like a flower in a way. My husband designed the ring himself and went and bought diamonds from a diamond dealer and hired a goldsmith to custom-make the ring. I bought the wedding bands - just simple "half-round" wedding bands, I think they were called "comfort fit" or "comfort band" or something along those lines. No hard edges and feel very comfortable on.

I'd feel naked without my wedding band and engagement ring. The band I have doesn't match the engagement ring perfectly, but I can't imagine a different band. I want the one that was put on my finger on my wedding day.

This isn't to say that I wouldn't love to have another ring of some kind - but I'd never take off my original wedding band or engagement ring, unless for some 'icky' chore (as mentioned). I've also never put my own rings back onto my own finger. Neither has my husband. Just this thing we do with each other. As in just checking to see if we'd still marry each other all over again.

Of course, the dog has to be part of it all too. Thinks it's some really big deal and sits right next to the person who is having to do the proposing/replacing ring thing, while leaning the entire weight of his body on said 'proposer'.

Yeah, I know - we're pretty silly - but it makes us happy

Plain yellow gold band (engraved with our initials and the date inside). I wear it with my yellow gold diamond solitaire engagement ring. We chose our wedding rings together. My husband's has milgrain edging.

Oh! And yes, I would definitely choose it again, but it's only been a year, so...

Fun and exciting thread for me, as I have an upgrade that's been ordered and is due to arrive October 18th!

We had talked about marriage and went looking at rings when we were dating. At the time, neither of us had any money, and the price of rings just horrified me. I chose a small diamond flanked by rubies set in yellow gold with a plain gold wedding band. DH chose a yellow gold ring with a little swish of white gold and three tiny diamonds set diagonally in it. It is hard to say whether I would choose it again, as it was mostly chosen for price at the time, and neither of us knew the first thing about jewelry or diamonds. I don't regret it, though, as I was interested in the man and not the ring!

So 15 years later we are ordering a new ring. It will be a simple cathedral setting in yellow gold with a diamond solitaire. I will wear it with my plain gold wedding band and the channel-set diamond anniversary band I received on our 10th anniversary. In the future, we will purchase shared prong set diamond bands to wear on either side of the solitaire.

Such a fun question. Our original wedding bands were made for us with mixed silver and gold. They actually wore out. (We've been married over 40 years). I now have a gold diamond solitiare that I wear with a plain gold band on each side of it. I love the look and wouldn't want anything else.

I wear both an engagement ring and a wedding ring - they are not from a matching set but they go together very nicely! They are both white gold. My engagement ring is a princess cut solitaire diamond and my wedding ring has a row of small inset diamonds on the front.

We were not actually "together" when my husband purchased the ring (on a break!) and we were not even living in the same province. In any case, he proposed when I went out to visit him at Christmas. He designed the engagement ring himself, even choosing a Canadian diamond, and had it made by a jeweler. My wedding band was chosen by both of us.

I have absolutely no regrets when it comes to my rings. They suit me, the size of my hand and my style perfectly.

My wedding ring is slim plain yellow gold, we bought it together, and I would choose it again.

I only wanted to wear one ring, so we had my engagement ring which is yellow gold with diamonds, altered so that the slim wedding band could fit into it creating a double band effect and look like I a single ring.

I have since moved to wearing silver but that is not an issue for me with my rings. I have considered a new ring to alternate with my current one. We have been married 18 years and I was thinking another ring could be a lovely 20th aniversary gift:) If I were to do this, I would want something non-weddingish and quite different.

We have the exact same wedding bands. They are yellow gold 3-band rolling rings and we chose it together. My engagement ring is a marquise diamond flanked by two smaller ones that he picked out.

Not my ring, mine is all yellow but you get the idea.

1. Is it/are they yellow gold, white gold or silver?
It's white gold.

2. Does it/they include diamonds, or another stone, or metal alone?
Nope, it's a plain band.

3. Did you choose it yourself, or did your mate present you with it?
We chose it together, and they're identical.

4. Would you choose the same thing again?
In a heartbeat - both the man and the ring.

1. Is it/are they yellow gold, white gold or silver?
Both our wedding rings are platinum.

2. Does it/they include diamonds, or another stone, or metal alone? Mine have diamonds on both the band and ring itself. DHs is engraved with a greek/romanesque design.

3. Did you choose it yourself, or did your mate present you with it? My DH chose the ring design himself and I had no input whatsoever. It was a beautiful surprise and wouldn't change a thing.

4. Would you choose the same thing again? Yes.

Yellow gold, emerald cut sapphire flanked by 2 trillian cut diamonds. Plain gold wedding band. We designed and chose it together, then he surprised me when he actually gave it to me. Yes, I'd choose it again.

14K Yellow gold. Engagement ring is pear shaped solitaire with band of diamonds, wedding ring is a cluster with 42 diamonds. I get loads of compliments on them because they look antique and no one has a set like it.

P.S. I didn't help choose....

White gold band with channel set diamonds halfway around. Hubby and I picked the bands together, but he did the engagement ring solo.

Platinum band and engagement ring, diamond center stone and sapphires. Want badly to reset it! Would get rid of sapphires and go all diamond, in white gold. I like the cool warmth. Have a princess cut but no, would not buy it today. Would go with round because it sparkles more.
