repost BHB - Wedding Ring Costs????

I know everyone picks something different, but what did you (or plan to) spend on your wedding rings?

and feel free to post where you got them if you were happy!

TIA!

I budgeted $1000 and ended up spending 700 for a matching pave wedding band in platinum. I got it at the diamond district in LA. My FH ring will probably be around 150.

Ooof... I went total opposite -spent more than I wanted to (had budgeted less than 1000, spent a little more). I love my wedding band though.....

Re: repost BHB - Wedding Ring Costs????

I am very curious too!! I really want my wedding band to match the baquettes on my engagement ring, but I want five or so of them to go across (am I explaining that right??) I really have no idea what it is going to cost and I do not know if I under budgeted. Our jeweler said he would have it made then we would talk about changing it to my liking then talk price!! My fh's ring is $250!! So if anyone has any idea I would go greatly appreciate it!!

TIA!!

Re: repost BHB - Wedding Ring Costs????

We spent a third of what I expected to pay. I wanted a seven stone band and every jewelry store wanted 1500-1800 for it, but I got it at the Attias fleamarket for 500, and it appraised for A LOT more!
