OPk so 2morrows Mine and my g/f's 1 year anniversary. Ok i went to Kay Jewelers and i bought her a 10 karat white gold wedding band. Its kind of plain, it has no stones or anything. Its just somethin to say that "i love you and you mean everything to me". She likes plain things, she see's beauty in them. but i dont know if shell like it. I mean im not sure if she prefers something with stones. Thing is is dont have that much money, i dont know if i could get her something with a stone for the same price ($64). please help, lol im like freaking out.

Edit: i have another question. Lets say later on in a few months i wanted to add stones to this band. is that even possible? i know nothin about jewelry, im 18 and i have a shitty job lol so any info would be awesome

Well, a wedding band has very specific significance, so I''m not sure it''s the best possible gift for a one year dating anniversary. I mean, usually you get engaged before you buy a wedding band, and the wedding band is not worn before the wedding. So my very honest opinion is, you might want to exchange it for a pendant or earrings or any other piece of jewelry rather than a wedding band. I think it might really confuse her, although I think you are a very thoughtful person! There are kinds of rings without stones that are not wedding bands, too.
 
well i was talking to the guy, he said you can really use anything. But as i gave it to her i wanted to tell her how much i lovr her and i did infact plan on telling her not to get confused lol. but u guys know more them me so mayb i should take your advice
 
thanks julian, i already paid for the ring, at a local kay jewelers. 2morrow i may stop by there and check some stuff out. ahh being young sucks lol

I can say that I have been around a lot longer than you, that's for sure! And I do know how girls think. But you know your gf a lot better than I do, though!

No, you will not want to go to the trouble and expense of adding stones to this ring later. It won't be worth it. Just buy another ring later.

I just think there are pretty rings that are clearly not wedding bands that would be a better choice for now. Do you know her ring size for her right hand? The right hand ring finger is usually a little larger than the left hand ring finger, just so you know.

Really, it might be better to get her something besides a ring unless you are totally sure of her ring sizes for both hands.

(ETA: Nice suggestions, Julie!)
 
I''d return it, and buy her a nice pair of earrings, etc... Whatever you buy when you give it to her you can profess your love for her.
 
You can return it if you would prefer to get her something else, but it seems you like what you got her.

"Wouldn''t it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn''t have to wait so long."

just remember that when you are ready for the real thing, come back here.

It''s very thoughtful of you to get such a piece of jewelry for your girlfriend, but I agree with diamondseeker about maybe exchanging it for a pendant or earrings or something. A nice pendant is a wonderful present to get for your girlfriend, as well. If you don''t have time to exchange it she could always wear it as a right hand ring so as not to get her confused (you don''t NEED to tell her it''s originally intended as a wedding ring). My husband got me a ring when we were both 18 as well, and I just wore it on my right hand so there was no awkwardness. As for your question about setting stones into the band later on, my first inclination would be to say no, but you would have to ask the jeweler.

I was just about to post the SAME thing! Lol!

By all means come back here before you buy an engagement ring! We can spare you from making a very big mistake (as in don''t buy one at a mall store!)
 
Shes like a 7, so thats what i got her. cause i wear her class ring and its a 7 (yea i fit it lol). What i got her is just plain white gold, but yea i think everyone here is a little more experienced then me lol
 
My husband''s very first jewelry gift to me was a little pendant and earrings set. I think you will be better off exchanging the wedding band. I''ll look quick and see if Kay''s has a website.
 
Well, if you know her ring size and you really like what you got her, just give her that. You know her a lot better than we do, and if you know she will like it, go for it. I liked the ring I got when I was 18, even though we weren''t planning on marriage at the time. And DEFINITELY come back when you want to get THE ring later on... it will save you so much frustration! Good luck!

PS Being young sucks until your old and feeble... then you wonder where the time went, haha!
 
www.Kay.com

and this is almost like the one i got her, only in white gold

Btw, thank you so much everyone. if its possible ill hit up kay before i meet up with her
 
You are sweet to want to get your gf a present for your anniversary. I agree with the others that, earrings, bracelet, or a pendant might be a little more appropriate than a wedding band. I''m sure she''ll love anything you get her.
 
I agree with everyone. It might be a confusing gift. I would return it for some gemstone jewelry ASAP.
 
Okay, taking a look at the site, my suggestion would be either a pendant or bracelet with a heart. I think that would be a very sweet way to commemorate 1 year.

There are a couple of white gold heart pendants with tiny diamonds, but those are around $99.

I really wouldn''t give her a wedding band..yet!
 
I like the heart necklace you posted. either that or this

its settled, 2morrow ill stop by, exchange it and be on my way before i see her. Thank you everyone
 
Okay, I like that, too, but does she like silver or yellow gold color jewelry the most?

Good luck and how about coming back tomorrow night and tell us what you chose and how she liked it!
 
oh i will deff come back later tonight. Im leaving in a few mins to go to kay. Thank you everyone
