My wedding band debate

I wanted to get some opinions.

I decided to get 2 rings because I need a 'plain' band to get married (jewish tradition can't have stones). I figured i'd find something inexpensive that way I won't feel too guilty spending the money. I figure i can wear it when I go away and don't want to bring my ring.

I found this ring which I really like but i'm not sure if it's too masculine? It's a Hebrew phrase and in English it means 'I am my beloved and my beloved is mine'.

If I get a plain band, I'd probably wait until its on sale at someplace like Kmart or Kohl's. (A few weeks ago I saw something that was ordinarily $200 and on sale for $50)

ETA: I've never seen the ring in person i'm not really sure where I would even look.

i think its cool and i like that it goes with your culture....its different and i am all about being different!.....the saying on it is beautiful - i think its pretty cool

I love it - it's similar to a ring I saw last night that I love and want (I'm trying to find a pic).

It's beautiful Jenn - go for it!

I'm not sure how to vote on this one because i'm confused...

Would this be your wedding band that you wear all the time - or is this ring the plain band that you need for the ceremony & for vacations and such??

I thought Jewish tradition you are to get married with a plain gold band. Thats what I am doing and I'm borrowing it from FH family which has been passed down (my 'something borrowed')

I do like this ring though.

That's the plain band i'd use for the ceremony.

I'm jewish and really like the ring. However, I have small hands and would prefer a more delicate version on me. If you have small hands a more delicate version might look better on you too. Have you seen any others?

Thats my concern as well. It might be a little chunkier than I like. I've seen other rings but not at decent prices. I saw it on ebay and sent an email to the seller asking if it was meant to be a mans and whether or not it could be engraved. I haven't heard back but I think they're in Israel so it could take a day or two.

I thought this would/could be considered a plain gold band. I've seen it advertised as a 'Jewish wedding band'.

I think for the ceremony it's GORGEOUS - however I do have one with the same writing on it - but i don't think it's in Hebrew....and the sentiment matches...

Let me pull it up for you on the site where Dave got it for me!

Got it - and they have one in Hebrew too - not only English!! WOO & HOO!

It's $49.95 & here's the website and pics from the website: http://www.signals.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?action=detail&item=HA1612&websource=google&source_code=S02GG1&keyword=404952

I really like that first website...I think i'm gonna show them to FH for his ring. The inside engraving is really cool!!!

I wanted to get something less expensive for me though especially since we'll be buying a second ring. The one I saw on ebay was only $30. (IE i'm cheap).

I think its supposed to be completely plain, nothing on it. Let me see if I can find something that explains what we really need

What really svcks is that I would LOVE to do gold to match his ring...but for those prices, i'd stick to silver.

You rock!

I would ask the rabbi but I don't know when we're meeting with him. I think the temple told me Dec/Jan. He's reform but I don't think as liberal as some (he won't do mixed marriages).
