We are getting married on Friday at the Courthouse and having the legal marriage done (do to an unexpected pregnancy we are bumping up the date from 05/22/10). I have not purchased his band yet and cannot afford platinum. What would match well with mine?

buy him what he likes, it doesn’t have to match yours
Sterling silver.
Palladium is near to platinum in all but money, titanium looks good and you could always resort to white gold, I bought my fiance a white gold engagement ring as he bought me a platinum one and I could not afford platinum either, but he loves it.
Titanium, Stainless Steel, or Tungsten. Tungsten is pretty cheap and it looks really nice. That’s what my fiancee wants.
White Gold is nice. That’s what I have and I love it. I was told it would take about a year for it to fade to it’s natural gold color and I only had it 4 months before the bottom of the ring started turning gold. That really upset me, and I’m not ready to give it back to have it recolored yet! LOL So, if on me, it changes that fast. I wouldn’t recogmend it. But it is beautiful.
white gold would probably be best because silver will tarnish and he’ll have to keep polishing it.
Get him a tungsteen ring at overstock.com. They can usually expedite shipping. They are very cool and very masculine!
White gold. It’ll match yours, it’s affordable, and should last a long time. Then maybe for an anniversary years down the road, if ya’ll can afford platinum , buy him one.
You don’t need to be matchy-matchy so any silver colored band will work….plain most men prefer. So you can give him white gold, platinium, even stainless steel, titanium, or tungsten-research his preferences/needs and happy shopping!
my husbands ring doesnt match mine at all. My ring is unique and it was not easy to find anything that matched. He picked out his own ring(and they look nothing a like), but we both got engravings on the inside of the ring that matched.
Just get him whatever he wants really. It does not have to match yours.
If you want to keep it the same colour as yours you could go for:
White gold
Sterling silver
Palladium
Tungsten
Stainless steel.
It doesn’t have to match yours really. I would go with Titanium, its usually very nice looking, pretty much unbreakable (if your h2b does a lot of handy work around the house or at his job), you can get them with neat designs…and apparently they are all the rage with guys now a days lol When we went ring shopping for my fiancee Titanium was one of the major selling points everywhere we went.
Try yellow or white gold it is very traditional and will look good with anything. I would do a simple band and maybe for an aniversary down the line get him something different
Tungsten is awesome! That is what I got my husband. It is very sturdy and fairly inexpensive.
