Question : Men and women, what is the width of your wedding band?
If you are married, what is the millimeter (mm) width of your wedding band? If you are not married, what width band do you plan on wearing? If you know, will you tell me the widths of any of your friends' or family members' wedding bands? Please state whether each band you list is worn by a man or a woman. I'm just trying to figure out what the "normal" widths of men's and women's bands are. Thank you so much!
Answer:
I have two. My fancy wedding band that matches my e-ring is 2.8mm.My plain wedding band is 2mm. My FH's wedding band is 6mm.

Question : OK, what do you think of this mens wedding bands? Too feminine, too anything?
I am purchasing my fiance his wedding ring for Valentines, since we are getting married soon, but it's a surprise. I have no problem with the size, but I'm not sure what to get. In general, do these look too much like women's rings? Do they even look like wedding rings? Which one do you like? I can't afford much, so I can't just get anything. I think I like the third the best, but I just needed some general opinions and/or advice. I haven't decided between the three. Thanks very much!http://www.flickr.com/photos/22977321@N06/If you pick one you like, could you please tell why, if you have a reason? Thanks, I appreciate it!If you pick one you like, could you please tell why, if you have a reason? Thanks, I appreciate it!
Answer:
When I bought my husband's band, I really took into consideration his style. So with that said, are any of the one's you showed us, your fiance's "style?" Do you think he would want to wear any of them on a daily basis? If he is a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy...he would probably want to wear something a little simpler. If he likes a little "flair" then these are great. You mentioned that you're on a budget...have you thought about buying tungsten over gold or platinum to keep costs down? Tungsten is a very hard metal that is difficult for men to scratch and dent. It's also only a semi-precious metal, and is considerably less expensive. Tungsten also comes in every style imaginable. Also here's something else I read...Unlike gold and silver, Tungsten Carbide alloy is hypoallergenic and non-reactive to salt water, chlorine, detergents, alkaloids, or body acids!!. This means they will not react with any part of the body, making them a great choice for even those who are most sensitive to other materials. And this will never tarnish!Because none of us know your fiance, we can only make suggestions based on our own preference. I personally don't care for any of the ones you picked so far...but maybe your fiance will love them. Who am I to make the call? Here are a couple that I think look "masculine" and like a wedding band. Good luck!

Question : Does a man's wedding band HAVE to match the bridal set?
Are there any rules around the man's wedding band matching the woman's bridal set? Does it matter?
Answer:
No. It's up to him to decide what he will be happy wearing the rest of his life. It usually looks better if they are the same color metal, but even that's not a rule. My wedding band is a very petite antique platinum and diamond eternity band. It's only 2.5mm wide and I can't think of a better way to describe it, but the metal "conforms" around each diamond with a hexagon. It looks like the diamonds are floating almost, and is lovely on my hand and doesn't get in my way because it's small and flat. Something that small would look stupid on my husbands finger though. His band is much bigger, and is made up with "squares" with 4 princess cut diamonds across the top (one in a square). It goes well with my band, but doesn't match exactly and is much more masculine. I don't feel the need to have a match match set. I don't like big, and his hands are huge so they need big. It's all an individual preference, and you should each select what you like best.

Question : Do woman's wedding bands need to be wider than men's?
Or does it even matter in this age? My mom tells me traditionally they have to be larger than the man's ring.

Question : Women's opinions on Weddings & Wedding Rings.?
I have a co-worker that has been married for many years. She is in her early 50's & very flirty. She very rarely wears her wedding ring & says its no big deal. She had an office affair years ago & I want to know from a females perspective: Is the Wedding & the Ring the major big deals to women. Most men could get married at the courthouse & be ok with it & most could care less about the wedding band that they receive. I think the co-worker is on the prowl & would cheat again if she could get away with it again. I don't want anything to do with her from anything more than a friendship standpoint I just want to hear from other ladies to hear if she is making excuses on why she isn't wearing the ring & the wedding issue.
Answer:
wearing the ring does not mean cheating. Some just don't like to wear jewelry or have jobs where it isnt appropriate to wear them.

Question : Anyone know of a good website to shop for palladium engagement rings and wedding bands?
I'm having trouble finding palladium engagement rings, specifically. My searches have taken me mostly to men's wedding bands, but I'm looking for women's jewelry and men's.
Answer:
If you are asking me, go to http://www.whiteflash.com:) There are plenty of places to shop online but I happened to be partial. Palladium offers a great price alternative to Platinum. It is a metal that will be hard to work with if you are considering intricate designs. Platinum is white. Palladium is white, but not as white – kind of has a darker cast to it ( you can try looking at the two metals side by side yourself). Lastly Palladium is lighter than Platinum. If all of those points are not show stoppers, it’s worth saving $1000.Good Luck!

Question : Why is a wedding ring more of a deterrent for women than men?
For example, when a woman sees a wedding band on a man's finger she is more likely to run for cover. When a man sees a wedding band on a woman's finger, it is like a magnet. Why is it that men find wedding bands so enticing and women see it as a red light.In other words, for men seeing that ring does not mean a thing, if anything, it makes a woman more appealing. why?
Answer:
They are just looking for no strings attached sex or in some cases its a conquest, see if they can get a married woman to cheat. Sadly most guys are real jerks. Lucky for me, I married one of the few decent ones out there. If you havent found one, keep looking and dont settle for a jerk.

Question : Wedding band purpose!?
I've noticed that a lot of women's wedding rings come with two rings, the main one and a band, What is the purpose of the Band? (other than accenting the main ring) is it part of a process?
Answer:
When a guy proposes he proposes with the engagement ring. When he walks down the aisle at the point of saying ‘I do’ he gives his gal the wedding band. She gives her man a wedding band too. This is the point where the two of you exchange wedding bands – one for the man and one for the lady.Good Luck!

Question : Why do women wear their wedding band and then their engagement ring??
if you look at a woman's ring finger you will, usually, see the wedding band closer to the finger and then the engagement ring.why is this?shouldn't it be the engagement ring and THEN the wedding band, since that's the order in which you receive them??thanks!what i mean, is there a logical explanation or is it that way "just b/c"??thanks!
Answer:
All the above answers are logical.However, I have always thought that the wedding ring is the ring that always stays on your finger and the engagement ring is sometimes taken off to avoid scratching babies, or damaging it when washing up or gardening or something.Just a thought..
