Do you want to buy the bands online?
I would suggest trying them on in person... buying online could be faulty. Unless you are super laid back about the rings... but you really won't know what you are getting until you try it on.
My suggestion? Go to a custom jeweler in town. (I am always advocating for custom, it is THE BEST). They are privately owned so they don't pay as large of an over head fee, and they buy everything whole sale. You get really nice stuff for about 30% (or even more) lower than a retailer like Zales (and it's not something that everyone else has!). My .65 carat pave diamond band was $1000. At another store it would have been like $1800 or more. I tried on several to see which style went best with my e-ring and it was so worth it!
We purchased my band from Blue Nile and his band in white gold through e-Wedding Bands (as recommended to us by a friend). We actually ordered the wrong size for his band because we weren't aware of the sizing differences with comfort fit bands and had to exchange it for a new one. It was really simple and only cost about $12.50 to exchange. We ended up saving about $150 for his band compared to the 3 or 4 retail stores we visited.
I do recommend going to a jeweler first though to make sure you are both sized properly.
We purchased my e ring and band from blue nile, and we have both been pleased with the customer service and quality of the product. I couldn't decide on a wedding band, so I ordered two and ended up returning one, and the whole process was pretty simple. I would echo the pp about going to a local jewelry shop to try things on first to find out what you do/don't like and fit.
We used Blue Nile after getting sized at Zales. They have great prices and service - highly recommend it.
My rings were from overstock.com and his was from amazon. Very inexpensive and we are completely happy with them! As long as the place you are buying from a place that has a refund policy, I think it's completely safe.
Thanks, ladies!
To those among you who recommended jewelers: we have a jeweler. We just want to compare prices before we commit.
I'll check out everyone's recommendations. Thanks so much!
my wedding band came with my e-ring as a set - www.shaneco.com
His bad will most likely come from Etsy - it's a meteor ring.
My FI bought my engagement ring from Excel Diamonds (http://www.exceldiamonds.com/), and they also have wedding bands. He had a great experience with them- good customer service, and good quality product.
we're getting my fiance's ring from the same person on etsy who made my engagement ring. i found a ring on brilliant earth that almost exactly matches my engagement ring setting, but it's an eternity band, so i'm having it made in the palladium white gold that i want.

We're trying to do a little research on cost and design.
Any internet retailers that you used and would recommend would be appreciated.
Thanks!
