Paul's Wedding Band

So we bought the last of the rings on this past Sunday, and choosing this ring went smoother than expected. We had gone to Robbin Bros. earlier and found a couple styles that we liked. One of which was a white gold ring with thin double ropes on each side. We were going to give it a brush finished look in the middle section. Well, we came back, and did another sweep through their selection. For men's rings, there wasn't a lot of selection compared to women's rings, but we systematically went through each case, picking out a ring that caught our eye. Paul's tastes are really easy enough, and we chose 5 or 6 rings that were actually very similar but had some differences: brushed, flat, beveled edges, concave edges, etc. He even tried on a black ring. (He likes the color black). That ring was very cool looking, but we thought about it, and it's not a ring that would look good as time goes on. So we went more of the traditional route and picked a white gold, flat ring, with a thick band and brushed look. And I recall that there were 2 bands of decoration along the sides...I think. We saw a lot of rings that day. It looked really nice on Paul's hand especially since he has really long fingers, and of course as long as he liked it, that was the main thing. We've been really productive with our wedding preparations, and it is such a relief to get this finally done. One thing though for others to keep in mind when you are buying your ring is to do your purchases before the prices of gold rises (which is not something you have control over), and if the sales tax gets raised which is what happened in California. Damn it, California deficit! It makes a big difference. =P No matter, in the end, we got a really nice wedding band, and we really like working with Robbin's Bros. They've been so helpful and patient each and every time we come by. They have never pressured us into buying any ring. Plus, they clean my engagement ring every visit and make it so shiny and beautiful when I leave. I highly recommend them.
