Hi ladies 🙂
Ok so FI and i had a discussion today about our rings, with 11 months to go we need to get things sorted :P. I have a beautiful art deco antique e-ring that FI bought me, and i love my ring so much as it is. Because it’s so different in shape i’d need a custom wedding band, but again it’s another expense :/. If we add another band to my ring it will also make it look too bulky, and i’m not a jewelry person so i’d prefer to avoid wearing my e-ring on my right hand instead.
FI is totally happy with the idea of using my e-ring as our wedder instead, i’ve thought of engraving both of our bands so they are the same instead. Any other bees following suit or have already follwed suit? Here is a pic of my e-ring for reference 🙂

@peacockrosebride: Your ring is so pretty. Is that some peridot I spy? Absolutely lovely. Can’t comment to your real question as I’ll be going with an e-ring and wedding band but just needed to chime in.

I really don’t think I am gonna wear one! I feel like it takes away the daintiness of my ring. Plus it will save money, haha.

I have some sort of phobia (not really) of ring gaps so if my ring was like yours I would totally rock the e-ring as an all-inclusive wedding set. Skippy don’t do gaps.
Gorgeous ring, btw.

Your ring is so beautiful! I would say with this ring you don’t even need a wedding band!

I use my engagement ring as my wedding ring! I didn’t want to get a custom band to fit around my halo, and also my ring has a wider band as it is. I also just think it’s more convenient to have one ring. I think your ring looks great on its own! No need for a second band.

Wowza!!! I absolutely adore your ring!!!! And I agree that it looks better on it’s own! I actually just got married a couple weeks ago and I didn’t do a separate wedding band. I don’t like gaps and I usually think that a e-ring/wedding band combo looks unbalanced unless there’s another band on top. And I really didn’t want to cover up the sides of my ring. So I wore it as an “engagement ring” for the year and a half we were engaged. I took it off the night before the wedding. And when it was given back to me during the ceremony, it became my weding band. I’ve had a few people at work ask to see my wedding band but nobody bats an eye when I explain that it’s the same as my e-ring. Definitely the right decision for me! And just for giggles – here’s a picture!

@peacockrosebride: I was surprised that nobody on either side of the family gave us a hard time about not having separate wedding band, but honestly nobody made the slightest bit of a stick. However, I’m not sure if the in-laws have heard that I’m not changing my name…

Plenty of people do it.
Many rings look better without a wedding band due to their design!

I didn’t, but wish I’d picked a blingy band as my ering. If I’d done that, I’d wear just the blingy band most days, but also get an extra band which matched my husband’s which I’d wear on days I might be working with my hands/travelling/doing something that might damage my ering (that band would be my stand-in).

I have a wedding band & an engagement ring, but I wear them on different hands, so I’m sure it looks to other people like I use my e-ring alone without a wedding ring.
Here is my e-ring, wedding ring, & my husband’s wedding band 🙂
