None taken, and I didn't necessarily mean that one, it was just the best place I could find a picture at the time. BTW, weren't the bands Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt had eternity bands in a similar style?

I also saw this while searching - a little more understated maybe, but still a style that would be easy to do in wider or thinner bands...

I've looked at the titanium rings but all the ones I tried on had an extreme color difference from my engagement ring which is white gold. I want to stick with white gold since I plan on wearing my engagement ring and wedding band together (maybe even possibly bonding the two).

I guess we'll have to keep on looking. I never thought I'd say that I'm actually tired of going to jewelry stores on the weekend but I am.....

i'd look at goldman and artcarved brands. you can find them at a lot of national jewelers (littman, zales, etc, etc). don't just look at what's in stock - make sure to ask for the books cause they usually dont have a lot there on hand.

i know you said he wanted them to be identical, but maybe you can compromise a bit. i've been looking at a set that looks great in the male version, but the female version is too wide for me. so we've looked at a small band for me that matches the interior design of his. (it's basically looks like the female verison has borders to make it wider for the male.)

ZTAngel,

When I was looking for engagement/wedding band sets, I went to one of those huge engagement ring stores (Robbins Brothers... I don't know if they are only on the West Coast). I know they have a huge website that had thousands of rings to look at. I found the style for my husbands' ring on there, and he is extremely picky! However, we didn't buy them there, but had our rings custom made by my cousin, who is a jewelry broker. (I have an eternity band and his is based on an ancient beveled edged design).

Check it out, it will at least give you some ideas or pictures to take to another jewelry store....sorry if it you have already seen it!

Good Luck! I know how stressful all the wedding planning can be!

I know everyone gives there two cents about stuff so you can take this or leave this...
Don't get them bonded together. I always only wanted to wear my rings together as well, but, quite frankly, stuff happens. Often on vacation if we are going hiking or out to a touristy area exploring, I won't take the engagement ring b/c 1) I don't want to risk losing the diamond and 2) I don't want to risk getting robbed for the diamond. Additionally, I've found some everyday things - like going grocery shopping - can be easier w/o the diamond "in the way". Just a thought!
