This is short so it gets right to the good stuff. AHEM.
BUY YOUR RINGS ON AMAZON.
My husband did it (twice…*). *perhaps he would have been a bit more careful had it cost more than $20, but we will never know.
Mine is no longer available, but it was $600.* Similar bands we priced were in the $1500+ range.
*Here's a similiar one for $499.99!
As for his? A friend of ours was comparing his wedding band, which was pretty much exactly alike, and nearly choked on his drink when the husband said his version cost $30. Our friend's was $800 (I KID YOU NOT).
And, honestly, Amazon has such good customer service that, if you look at reviews and find a reputable vendor, it's worth a shot. They have not compensated me for this recommendation* – I am just one happy customer. My UPS guy can attest to that.
*Though Kiss My Tulle is an affiliate of Amazon.

hmmm… I will have to check out amazon. I already bought my wedding band and love it but my fiance doesn’t want anything that cost a fortune and I’m sure it will probably get ruined a million times at softball!

Danielle, We were looking at getting The Boy a ring off Amazon (before we ended up DIYing one: http://su.pr/350JvF) because he’s a high-voltage electrician and can’t wear one anyway – so why spend money on it, right?
Liz says
If nothing else, it’s good for a cheap one to wear while traveling or whatnot.

I just ordered both of ours on Etsy (hers in sterling silver plated in gold with a small diamond and mine in 14K white with a row of diamonds) and they cost less than $300…combined. I know, right?! My engagement ring is also from Etsy and it was $500 for a huge aquamarine with a diamond halo (also white gold) so I’d definitely say give Etsy a shot, too.

Good to know! Thanks, Jenny!
