I dont know about ordering online, but I know you can always get it done from the place you get it, if they have a tailor. They charge an extra 20-30 i think.

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

I'm having my engagement party/ceremony at The Sterling as well. I've been there once before and it was really nice.

Anyone knows where to get good mens wedding bands/rings ?? I don't want to get the Wedding Rings men in India wear, because I personally don't find them too attractive...any suggestions??

I got my hubby's ring at Kay Jewelers. He didnt want one with diamonds or any bling. It's a hammered look.
