Ours ended up both being titanium, but our only real goal when searching was that they coordinated on some way- matching stripe or color or some similarity.
Wow! I have the Tiffany's solitaire too. (: Good taste. We bought a Tiffany's band for my wedding ring, but my Fiance has a yellow gold band from a local Jeweler that has sentimental value. I don't think it's weird to insist on having the same material, but as long as it doesn't matter to him to have the Tiffany's name...you can find platinum elsewhere for cheaper (i.e. Blue Nile) I know you can get platinum from other jewelers for a lot less than Tiffany's. Good luck!
they can be the same although they don't have to both be from tiffany's.. i am sure there is a jeweler that can replicate it.
Ours are different. Mine had to be custom made to fit with my ering and he wanted the plainest more boring ring he could fine. Mine is platinum because my ering is platinum. We got him white gold because it was actually one he said he wanted.
One possibility is to look at jewelry stores that sell estate pieces- you might find a platinum men's Tiffany band there that is less expensive. And you could always have it sized.
Ours don't match at all, but I kind of wished we were able to get matching ones. ;) His is tri-color gold (yellow, white and rose) and mine is just white gold with diamonds. It's not weird to want matching metal... get it from somewhere other than Tiffany's since it's just a plain band and I'm sure you'll find a better price.
We have one that is non matching and then an inexpensive wood and titanium ring that matches... I don't always wear the matching one, but it is nice to have!
Totally fine to get non-matching bands. I wanted matching bands at first b/c of the symbolism behind it, but then I realized that we wanted different things. We each got exactly what we wanted, so it worked out!
Ditto @ Mouse...we have very different bands - but they both reflect our individual styles. Originally I wanted us to have matching bands, but realized that we both wanted very different features in our wedding bands. So, we are both happy! Mine is a white gold band with seven prong-set diamonds and his is Tungsten Carbide. He actually designed and created my wedding band with our jeweler and I helped him choose his band.

@kmark...I'm totally w/ you on the prices. My FI wears a size 12 ring, so to get the platinum 6 mm wedding band from Tiffanys, it would have set me back about $2800...uh...no thanks. lol However, I have been described many many times by friends as being matchy/matchy. LOL I wanted to be able to get our rings from the same place, same material, etc., but the budget wasn't going to let it happen. I ended up getting him a sterling silver ring from Tiffany's that was only $250...With tax and engraving I think it came to around $300ish. So, while the metals don't match, the stores do.
My ring is from Tiffany's and we are pretty sure we'll get the band from there too. But we won't be getting his ring from there. He doesn't want to spend too much on his ring and he wants just a plain simple band. No etching, diamonds or anything. Our metals may or may not match he can't decide between gold or platinum.
Really it just depends on what you want to wear everyday and what he wants to wear everyday. Also, keep in mind what type of work he does that could determine the type of material it is made of.
wow, thanks for all the advice! I never thought about any options but white gold and platinum (as he wants white color rather than yellow) but now I am thinking about titanium, tungsten carbide, etc. Where do you find rings in these materials? My FI is a size 16 or 16.5 so he probably has to get the ring custom made for him. He just wants plain plain plain band, so you'd think it would be easy to find but of course there are still a million choices...
Ours are the same!

We got the exact same style of ring but in very different widths and in different metals. Mine is platinum, his is white gold. His is actually from ebay, so I don't even know where it was sold originally, but they still form a matching set.

Here is how ours turned out, similar enough for us to be happy, but fitting our own styles.

Our bands are pretty much identical, other than size and the fact that NotFroofy's is infinitessimally wider and thicker. However, the one she gave me was inherited from her grandmother, and the one I gave her was purchased on eBay UK. Having them both from Tiffany's is really unnecessary, if you can find a ring elsewhere that complements yours in some way.
My engagement ring is from Tiffany's, and so he's adament about us both having wedding bands from Tiff, so that's fine with me. Though, his band will cost a small fortune. (We're doing the Lucida 6mm for him size 11.5... oi.) I'm either getting the 3mm Lucida or the diamond Bezet. So, they'll essentially match.
In no way do they have to match though. I didn't originally intend for ours to match, actually.
I have a white gold E-Ring that comes with a matching band that fits into the curve of it and there was no matching ring for him in the set. When it came to picking his though, because he wears an iron ring on one hand and his late grandmothers band on the other which is yellow gold, we went with something that had texture that is similar to my ring, but was both yellow and white gold so his hand didn't look like he had mis-matched rings on it!
We really only wanted them to be somewhat similar - they didn't have to be completely matching, and mostly because we still have two different personalities =)
we wanted matching bands for certain, and it helps that i love just a plain white gold band too.
we got the 'Newport' from e-weddingbands.com :)
4mm for me and a 7mm for his big hands.
ours will not match at all. i'm designing my wedding band(s)- getting a sandwich, because its really hard for me to find a wedding band that fits my e-ring. my e-ring is a solitaire with micro pave (super super thin band for my size 3.5 fingers) and because the solitaire is set low, a band simply doesn't sit under it. anyway, i'm getting two mciropave thin bands that are curved to sit under and on top of my ering.
needless to say, FI is not getting a micropave band to match. he's thinking of going for the 'hammered' look- simple with texture.
FI wants us to have matching platinum bands but my e-ring is white gold (he clearly didn't think this one through). I want skinny with some simple bling on my band (pave or channel set diamonds) and he wants a bit of design but no bling. He mentioned replacing my e-ring so I can have two platinum rings but I feel like it won't be the same. We're really all over the place and need to start ring shopping since we decided to buy each others rings for Christmas. At this rate, his will be more expensive than mine based on the metal and width.
Ours don't match at all. Except that they are white gold, lol. Mine are two 7-stone diamond bands (one on either side of my e-ring) and his is a thick white gold one with diagonal etching in it
They definitely DON'T have to match. Have you thought about both getting the same engraving inside? Then if they don't match, on the outside, they still have the same unique engraving on the inside and that can make it special.
My rings are platinum (b/c I am allergic to gold). My fiance's wedding band is white gold. He wanted a plain band but I wanted him to have a little bling.
We don't have ours yet, but I just know by rings he's pointed out to me that he likes, that ours will def. not match! 
Ours are similiar but not the same... there was a feminine band that looked exactly like the one he wanted, but it clashed pretty badly with my engagement ring. In the end, I figured he'd already bought me an expensive ring and he was going to wear this ring for the rest of his life, so why not make it the one he really wanted.
We'll probably get matching bands, but I don't think that it's a big deal. : )
Ours are both custom made from the same jeweler and both have princess cut diamonds in them, but mine is palladium and his is white gold. We did not intend for them to match. He just picked out what he liked and they happen to compliment each other.

It definitely is not weird or irrational at all that you want your rings in the same metal. I think it's a really cute idea. You should go for it!
There are good deals on platinum out there...if you shop around, you should be able to find what you're looking for in your fiancé's ring size without spending a small fortune. Honestly, if I were in your position, I would choose platinum for his ring but skip the Tiffany's brand name to save yourself some money. At the end of the day, the fact that your rings are in matching metals is going to matter waaaay more than the label or price tag.
Let us know what you choose! :)
we have matching bands, and actually was cheaper to get them this way!! (although i wanted diff ones, but they were out of our budget)
hope you find some affordable ones, matching or not!!

Hi everyone. I am new so I hope people see this post and respond! My question is about wedding bands. I am all set with mine- I have a tiffany solitaire engagement ring and am getting the plain platinum knife edge band that matches. However, my fiance has very big fingers and a platinum ring for him, especially from tiffany's, is going to cost us a small fortune. Is it weird that I want our rings to both be the same material? I know it is irrational, as many people have totally different style wedding bands, but I am hoping to just hear what people here are planning on doing. He would just get a white gold plain flat band instead of a platinum one, which would save us at least $1000. And he would probably get it from any old jewelry store, rather than tiffany's where there is a markup just for the brand name. What do you guys think?
