    Hubby bought his own ring. 14k gold band from Amazon, I think it was about $290?

    We paid $300 for a size 8 5mm tungsten band that looks like a solid white gold band. No brushed metal or anything, just the ring. It looks darker in the photo than it is because of the lights.
    My ring, for reference, is a size 4.5 2mm white gold band and it was $100. We bought both at Marquise Jewelers

    Oh and I bought them technically but our finances will be joint once married so we kind of felt like we both bought them.

    He actually paid for his since he makes more money and it was def on the high side at $1500 but it had to be custom made since he has enormous Flintstones hands LOL. He wears a size 14 and he also wanted a wide band at 10mm (8mm is the norm is what the jeweler told us)

    My FH spent $39 at jewelry exchange for his wedding band, and it’s scratch proof! Which is a big deal to him with his line of work!

    I'll be getting FH's ring for around $200 (we have it picked out, just not purchased yet, I want him to get his finger sized one more time before ordering so that we will be 100% certain it will fit right)


    FH felt guilty about this at first, as my engagement ring did not cost as much (I told him don't spend crazy $$ on it, just make sure its pretty, since the $$ amount isn't what matters to me) & had to remind him my wedding band & engagement ring together will cost around the same as his ring, & I want him to have something he loves just as much as I love my rings


    I will be buying his ring, I would feel weird expecting him or anyone else to pay for his ring


    Here are our rings!!

    Right now because of finances, my FH's ring was on sale for $20. We found a ring that we both like, but it's $360. Not that expensive, but I'm not working for a paycheck as I care for my mom and his (soon to be our) daughter. Hopefully, once our daughter is in school in the fall, I'll be able to get a job again, at which point, I can get the band for him that we like. So by Christmas or our first anniversary, he'll have the better ring. The $20 ring was a compromise because he wanted to use the wedding band he has from his first marriage and while his first wife is deceased, so no bad luck or anything, I want to give him a band from me that represents our marriage.

    I paid $800 for his wedding ring from Diamonds Direct. It’s white gold in the inside and yellow gold on the outside. I got it to match my engagement ring.

    Our jeweler had a BOGO sale on wedding rings so we actually got FH's ring for free with the purchase of my ring since my e-ring and wedding band didn't come together. However, if we didn't do the BOGO FH ring would've been $900

    My fiance picked out his band, I think I paid $175 for it. He's a huge Jeeper, and the ring is a tire tread we found on Etsy.

    His was just under $1000, but he wanted a fancy gold ring with an antler inlay. I bought it, but all of our finances are joined so it really doesnt matter.

    I'm ordering from a website called Manly Bands and the one he wants is $300. They give you the option to pay in full or with payments of $100 over three months. Traditionally yes the bride purchases the grooms band and he purchases hers.

    I paid for both rings since I got them from Etsy. It was easier to do that then wait for my fiancé to order them. Smiley xd But in a time where tradition and roles tend to be bent, I don't think there's a hard and fast rule about this one.

    His ring was $80 made from tungsten from Etsy shop AydinsJewelry

    Mine was a half eternity band for $115 from Etsy shop FacetsAndKarats

    My FH and I got him a 6mm 14K yellow gold band with comfort fit and a custom engraving on the inside. I think after taxes it was around $650.
