Looking for a CHEAP (inexpensive) wedding band

    So, I am on the hunt for a band that is under $150. Our budget got obliterated by unemployment and medical bills, so a custom band for my unique e-ring is unattainable right now. There's also the little problem of trying to get my FI to understand WHY a separate band is important to me, but that's a whole other subject...

    At this point I'm leaning towards sterling silver for the band. I'm leaning toward wearing my e-ring on my left hand (cause that's where I like it) and getting a plain-ish band for my right hand.

    Are there any other laies who have or are doing this? Anyone found any sites or actual stores they could recommend? Thanks so much!

    Here's a pic of my e-ring too:

    We used e-weddingring.com and really liked them.  They had all sorts of metals, styles, and sizes and engraving was free.

    I wanted a plain white gold band and we got mine for I think $79? It was on sale at Marks and Morgan but even before the sale price it was only like $99.

    I got my wedding jewelry from this site and I love the stuff that I got.  They have a ton of bands.

    Thanks so much ladies! I'm not sure if I'm crazy thinking about sterling, but gold just seems to be out of reach for that price.

    @cleve_girl01:  I don't care for sterling, you have to clean it all the time.  I would look at a 925 silver or stainless steal.  I have a ton of both and you would never know they are not from a more expensive jeweler and they don't need the cleaning.

    I'd suggest going to some outlets like Zales or Kays...check out your nearest Outlet Mall.

    I bought a plain, white gold band from Amazon for $80 and I love it! It's the smallest band they had - 3mm, I think.

    FI and I got ours from JVLJewelery.com for $50 for a set of Tungsten bands. The list price is around $300 each, but there is a code for free rings, just pay shipping. PM me if you want a code. I got an extra one to share with friends and family in the package with our rings.

    Kay.com or KayJewelers.com (can't remember the actual site) sells clearance and pre-owned jewelry, you might be able to find something you like for a lot cheaper than you would think.  As for switching hands, I personally wouldn't but to each his own.  Symbolically, wedding bands go on the left hand because there is a vein that goes right from your left ring finger to your heart or something (or so the old wive's tales tell me LOL) so if anything I'd wear my wedding ring on my left hand and flip the engagement ring to the right.  In the orthodox church they put the rings on the right hand, which is their tradition, and everyone I know switches them to the left after the ceremony...except my sister in law who had surgery on her hand shortly after the wedding and has to wear them on the right hand...she's not thrilled LOL.

    Amazon.com has some really nice, inexpensive ones, like this 2mm White Gold band for $60+ (price depends on ring size):

    i'd say any online store:

    amazon.com

    overstock.com

    You could get a gold band for around $50, or maybe you could find something at a pawn shop or a consignment shop
