My husband and I bought $12 rings off amazon for ours. We're both super simple people and we didn't need super fancy rings (reluctantly I need a larger size soon because the heat and working is making my hands swell :(( )
But I got him one of those Black Tungsten rings but because of his job, he has to either get a waiver from the Army to get his tattooed onto his finger which I refuse to let him do, or he has to wear a silicone one which is always breaking but are super cheap so he wears the silicone ones

My husband and I have matching leaf pattern silver bands we ordered from a jewelry maker on Etsy. Silver WILL get beat up though so keep that in mind if you care. I love the dings of our years together showing on the band though.

My husband was taking a course in Jewelry Making the summer before we were married. He made all our rings himself. His is a simple gold band which I took to a jeweler to have the wedding date engraved inside.

I'd never have a band for every day that wasn't flush. I dig in too many gardens and clean out to many water tanks. :))

I thought about having him pick one himself, which some of my friends ended up doing, or having us get a matched pair, but it was kinda fun finding something I thought he'd like - ended up with a fairly modest white-gold band with a kinda beaten pattern (which, downside, meant they couldn't resize it, and we ended up having to get it cut off his finger 'cuz he didn't want to quit wearing it... so that was fun).
My ring, he admitted like 8 years after the fact, came from a pawn shop... and he lost the wedding band that was meant to go with the engagement ring, and so back to the pawn shop he went. XD

He got my grandpa's wedding band from his first marriage lol.

My friend just got married and he got a tanzanite ring with a cool swirly red pattern, the red matches the stones in her ring. I call it the PewDiePie ring because it looks like Pewd's swirly pattern. The ring itself is really cool and lightweight

My husband picked out the one he wanted. I don't even really remember what it looks like because he switched to a rubber one for work. I think it was black and blue.

We have been married for nearly eighteen years.

My hubby insisted I have a diamond engagement ring. I have never been a fan of expensive jewelry or 'normal' diamonds. We ended up with a small, dark coloured, cognac diamond.It is bezel set in yellow and white gold and has tiny white diamonds flanking both sides. Under the bezel is is patterned with cut outs, it is quite a unique piece and I really love it.

It is an ethical diamond and was mined in Australia.

A friend of the family made our wedding rings, they are both simple plain gold bands, mine is cut to fit around my engagement ring. The fact that our friend made them as our wedding presents means the world to us.

What I ended up doing was picking a couple rings I liked off of amazon, then showing him pictures of them and he chose his favorite. I ended up having to buy 2, one for the size I thought he might be and one for the size he thought he was, and returned the one that didn’t fit him. He ended up wearing a rubber ring most of the time due to his work. Now he doesn’t wear a ring except on special occasions or trips.

Our rings don’t match, mine is a flush ring with stones inlaid into it. That was something I was adamant about, I don’t like it when the jewel sticks out for about a dozen reasons. I also ended up purchasing a second $10 black-hills gold ring from a pawn shop for when I’m working outside, or in the cold and don’t want the possibility of loosing my real one. I personally can’t stand rubber or silicone, if what I’m doing is too dangerous to wear a ring then I don’t wear one at all.

We are in the process right now. We designed my ring, where the band looks a bit more like branches with leaves off of it, and tiny colored diamonds coming off of the blue sapphire center stone.

For him, we have decided to get him a gold band with an elvish love poem etched into it from the maker of the one ring from LoTR.

However, for backpacking/hiking vacations, we will probably opt to wear silicone bands.
