    I'm curious, because we're starting to look at bands.  I'm wondering, on average how much ladies spent on their wedding bands?

    Are you asking about wedding bands for the FH or wedding bands that we are going to wear? Or are you talking music bands...?

    Oh okay. Just wanted to make sure! Mine was $950, but it had to be special ordered to fit with my e-ring.

    The one NotFroofy gave me was inherited from her grandmother, and there wasn't an option for that in your poll.  The one I gave her was $155.

    I'm probably not the right person to respond to this, but my wedding set plus my husband's ring cost $50. I'm not big on jewelry though, so that's just me.

    Mine was pretty simple, and only $249.  1/4 carat princess cut in white gold.

    I found it hard to find anything platinum for under $1000.  And many were closer to $2k.  I ended up getting a micropave platinum ring from Blue Nile for $990.  They give 10% off if you bought your band there.

    I coudlnt vote because there wasnt an option for me - I spent $20 on my sterling silver ring from Overstock.com - rings were not something we wanted to spend a lot of money on towards the end of wedding planning and I want to spend a couple grand on my wedding band when I upgrade it in the future because I want it custom made to fit with my e-ring

    Mine was about $400 at Kay Jeweler's.  It's 1/4 ct and I really love it.  And I am relieved to find that you didn't have the amounts of $10,000+, lol!

    Why not add a less than $100 option to your poll? The band I'll probably get is about $80.

    They haven't actually started my band yet, but we had our consult for the design/pricing, etc. and it will be just over $1200 (including tax) when all is said and done.

    It's going to be a contour band (with just the slightest bend) with about 20 or so pave diamonds. The specific style of band isn't normally that expensive, but my E-ring was custom made so in order for the band to fit the E-ring correctly and match properly, it will need to be custom made also.

    I'm bummed because when FI was purchasing my E-ring, I guess they had initially told him that they could 'shave down' one side of my E-ring so that a straight band would sit flush against the E-ring. We would've spent about $500 for a 'semi-custom' pave band, but apparently my ring is too thin for them to do that after all (which I feel like they should've known!) so my only other option is the contour band, which isn't my personal favorite look. The worst part is that he went from being quoted about $500 (w/ tax) to the $1200 reality (because now they have to charge to design/create a custom mold in addition to the charge for labor+materials). Grrr.

    I'm sure it'll look beautiful in the end, but I wish they hadn't given him misleading info from the beginning.

    A couple of hundred dollars. We're Jewish so it's tradition to have a plain, uncut ring. It's a simple, plain, white gold band. And I love it.

    ~$1700 for a custom made platinum wedding band to match my custom e-ring. It would be helpful if the platinum bubble would burst around now, but I don't see it happening.

    I interpreted this question on how much we spent on HIS band, so that's how I'm going to answer.  $160.  And I love that!

    I bought my around Christmas time when it was on sale at a hometown jeweler.  It was around $400.  I got a 14ct yellow gold ring wrap/enhancer with two pear shaped diamonds.  Looks great with my two-toned .3ct solitaire.  Unfortunately, I currently don't have pictures because it just wouldn't photo right on my crappy outdated camera.  The pictures would come out all blurry and you couldn't see the diamonds.

    I inherited mine from my grandmother, so only the cost of cleaning/restoring it. Which my mom paid for as an engagement gift, so I don't actually know how much that was.

    We haven't bought our bands yet but I did go look at some yesterday so I have a general idea of what I want and how much it will cost. I'm leaning towards this band which is $850 for 3/4 tcw. I assume it will probably cost a little more to get it engraved.

    Mine was priced $1100, but we got a great deal with buying both our bands with tax for $900.  It's similar to this:
