So with our wedding about 6 weeks away SWMBO and I are trying to pick out wedding bands. I want a fairly simple 6mm ring. But I am really having a tough time deciding on the material since most designs are available all any metal.
Titanium: cheapest, scuffs easily, cannot buff out scuffs
Tungsten: good price, hardest material available, cannot be resized, cannot be cut off if my finger swells
Gold: more expensive, may need to be re-coated if rhodium coating wears off
Palladium: more expensive than gold, will not need to be re-coated
There is a company that makes tungsten that offer lifetime re-sizes (they replace the ring), but the price pushes it up with the gold.
I am not necessarily looking for the cheapest ring, but I want to make a good decision that won't end up costing me more in the future.
For all you married guys, what did you go with? Anyone else have a similar decision to make? Any ideas?
