Ring options...need opinions!! sorry, it's long

So part of me wants to get a wedding band that matches my e-ring. But, part of me wants to get this really cool treasure band with FH, even though it wouldn't match my e-ring at all. I have a few options... I don't think I could afford to buy both a nice matching band and the treasure band. But I could get a band that would match my e-ring from ice.com for less than $200, and I could wear that when i want to wear my e-ring, and wear the treasure ring most of the time. Or, I could just decide to get one or the other, and not both. Here are the pictures:

First is my e-ring from top and side views:

Sorry! I don't know how to add a poll! Oh well, you guys can just reply whether I should get two bands or one, and which one. Thanks!

Last is a pic of the treasure ring. I could have a diamond instead of the ruby.

I personally am not a fan of the treasure ring as wedding band...I happen to like the ring from ice.com the best. But that's MY opinion and I'm not the one wearing the ring.

It's your wedding band and you will have to wear it every day...get something you love! My band doesn't match my e-ring at all, doesn't even sit flush, I still love it the same.

I like the first two the best. I'm not sure which one would go better.

I have never even heard of a treasure ring before...not a huge fan of it, but it as the other girls say...your choice! Get what YOU want!

Re: Ring options...need opinions!! sorry, it's long

I have to say, I don't like the treasure ring either!

IMO, it's clunky and ugly...but I just LOVE the idea of being able to inscribe 'on this day I marry my friend'. I just wish the ring was cuter! Ah, I think the princess in me wins out and I'm just going to have to get a sparkly ring to match my e-ring.

Re: Ring options...need opinions!! sorry, it's long

glinda_goodwitch if you do a 1/2 eternity you could have the initials OTDIMMF = 'on this day I marry my friend' inscribed on the inside.

Oh, I didn't think of that! Thanks! My e-ring only goes halfway around anyways, so I would only get a 1/2 eternity anyways. Then FH could have it inscribed in his as well.
