Our styles and preferences grow and change, just like we do. My fiance was having a tough time narrowing down rings he liked, until I told him, "Don't imagine wearing it for the next 50 years, imagine wearing it for two. And if you see something else you like down the road, we can always get it too." Yes, the ring is symbolic of the commitment, but it's the HANDS that will be carrying out the acts of love and commitment. Hope that helps relieve some pressure! :)Lira Kellermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642476041389723474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-75293817831479482432011-05-26T01:05:57.722-07:002011-05-26T01:05:57.722-07:00Here's a more traditional ring with some small...Here's a more traditional ring with some small stones:<br /><br />http://www.brilliantearth.com/Horizon-Ring-Platinum-BE222/<br /><br />recycled and conflict free as well.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040185913128417005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-29061957272782376252011-05-26T00:58:36.615-07:002011-05-26T00:58:36.615-07:00I second St Kilda!

In the sprit of throwing more options out there, just in case... I'm a big fan of Bario-Neal, and they can do their Dias ring in any metal and customize it with diamonds or other gemstones (here is a custom example, though gold). I think white gold would look very cool with a few rough diamonds, or a black diamond (or three).<br />http://bario-neal.com/bn/categories/custom-work/custom-diamond-dais-ring-with-bezel.html<br /><br />Aaand, for guys who like jewelry, and for those who keep piping up about having to wear a ring "forever," if the brother likes jewelry, maybe consider the idea my husband and I have adopted. He likes jewelry but doesn't like necklaces or bracelets, and doesn't dress up enough to have many things like cuff links or tie clips, so we decided that he could have as many wedding/marriage bands as he wants. There is an official band, but he also has one we bought together at a street fair, and I have one tucked away for our anniversary next fall. And then there's always the option having a ring re-set or redesigned in the future. No ring is forever if you dont' want it to be.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645163533619450071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-60775057285050856522011-05-25T14:57:59.013-07:002011-05-25T14:57:59.013-07:00blugh the belt ring looks so "jewelry televis...blugh the belt ring looks so "jewelry television special $99" <br /><br /><br />who wants a belt on their finger forever..?<br /><br />i think having a classic band is much cooler than TRYING to be coolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-17134491276143947162011-05-25T13:48:25.218-07:002011-05-25T13:48:25.218-07:00My brother's wedding ring is hammered platinum...My brother's wedding ring is hammered platinum with s. small dark parallelogram sapphires from family jewelry - Claudia Kussano made it up for him. He's not gay though, but highly design sensitive. Once he got it, he decided it was TOO hammered and he needed something more traditional. So that Needs Tradition urge is verry strong in some.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-57481606283297142432011-05-25T13:11:49.180-07:002011-05-25T13:11:49.180-07:001.The belt ring is very sweet.
