I''ve been bugging him to pick his wedding band. After two weeks of him finding nothing he liked, he finally shows me two SK he likes and of course they are both over $5k in platinum. We agreed his ring would not go over $2k.

So I take the pics to a local jeweler to see if they can make the SK ones similarly and get a price quote. It comes to $3k. I tell FI and he says he''ll just get palladium in the SK. Fine, I can live with that. Then a few days later he says he''s not so sure about palladium. I send him links to web sites like eweddingbands.com and simiilar, even a few posts from PS of men''s rings. He doesn''t like any of them.

So now we are 6 WEEKS from our wedding and he still doesnt'' have a band picked

I''m totally stressing he won''t have a ring for the ceremony. No big deal on my ring, I''m ordering a plain band just for the ceremony that I''ll wear when we go fishing and stuff. My diamond band can be finished after the wedding, that doesn''t bother me.

Seriously, he needs to spend hours and hours on PS like I have these past few months and just make a dang decision!

End rant.
 
My DH had the same problem. I ended up just buying one online a week before the wedding.
 
I''m not in your exact situation, katomm, since I''m neither engaged nor do I have a wedding coming soon (December, right?!) but seriously my BF is beyond picky about rings. I''ve shown him SOOO many things, and he''s just like "eh".

But I guess I shouldn''t complain too much because I''ve changed my mind about my e-ring at least a dozen times.

We''re hopeless!
 
I really, really want him to have the SK he picked out. It''s just too beautiful. But, since most of us LIW have been on the internet for months, he has no idea the other stuff that''s out there that he may like that''s more affordable.

He keeps saying "It''s not the ring that matters, I get you and that''s all I need." That''s sweet, yes (I think he watched Sex and the City the other night, LOL) but I really don''t want to get one he just says "meh" about and for the rest of our lives he looks down and thinks he wishes he had something better.

Men!!!

Men!!!

What about an upgrade for him??? You can get married with a lovely plain platinum band, and then you can save up and get him the SK he loves for an anniversary. That way, once he has the SK, he also has a back-up ring for things like sports/cleaning/getting dirty...times when he still wants to wear his ring, but won''t want to risk damaging the SK...
 
Do you have photos? Maybe we could help you find a similar ring online?

I second this! Never underestimate the googling power of lots of savvy PSers!
