I *think* that's a thing in the Jewish religion, not Christian. I know my friend who is Jewish got married last year and she had to buy a plain wedding band to use for the ceremony because she said she couldn't use a diamond band.

my friend who is Jewish also got married last year and she said she couldn't use her diamond eternity band because it had holes in it. The band needed to be solid all the way around when married by the rabbi. She had to have her mom switch rings with her right before they did the signing of their Jewish marriage license. After the ceremony she put on her diamond ring for the reception.
