    Our wedding bands will be a save. I want a thin simple band and he wants a silicone enso ring that he doesn't need to worry about at work.

    Saved. My husband actually bought the whole set (engagement ring, wedding band, one year ring, his wedding band) from a friend.

    Save! We reused my grandmother's rings and got them custom-made into what we wanted. Spent about 1K on mine and $60 on my FW...

    I think we may splurge. It is a piece of jewelry you wear everyday. Want to make sure we like it. My engagement ring is a simple solitaire but I can't wear it at work. I think I want a sparkly ring with no sharp edges that I can wear.

    Save!

    I got a ring off Etsy for half the price I would get on jamesallen.com. My FH wanted a silicone ring, so we didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a metal ring.

    We both splurged! He definitely spent more on both of my rings, but we got exactly what we wanted so that we would love and cherish our rings forever!

    Saving. We're choosing more simple rings and waiting for a Cyber Monday deal to buy them.

    For mine we definitely saved as it came in a set with my engagement ring and it was not an expensive set at my insistence.

    Hoping to save on this. We've been looking at rings on Etsy that we both really love. They are under $200 each with the option of engraving included. I think it's a decent price. :-)

    Save. The ring we found for my fiance is only $249 and the ring we found for me is $349 or $399. We just have to order them.

    I'm not sure what my FH spent (he won't tell me) but I believe he splurged.

    I was able to get a deal on his so I saved, but I might turn around and use that money for his suit buy-out.

    We're hoping to save here. We are still quite a while away from picking rings so we'll see if we actually save or not.

    Splurged. My ring will do double duty as an engagement ring and wedding ring. It was custom made with gemstones and diamonds I selected.
    I got FH 3 rings because he finger size really fluctuates depending on what work he has been doing (If he's been welding his finger goes up a full size). So even though I got them on a 50% off sale, it was still a bit of a splurge.

    Splurged!

    Though the cost of the rings didn't come as bad with the discount given and sizing after to pay. It was worthwhile to get being the style that was chosen simple.

    I saved and FH splurged lol. I picked something simple because I want my engagement ring to still be the focal point. My FH who doesn't have a blingy ring on his hand already chose a custom made ring with the Lord of the Rings engraving on the inside. He's like "I've always said that if I'm going to wear a ring it's either going to be a superbowl ring or a ring forged in the fires of Mordor"

    Splurging. We got matching diamond bands. I also got both of us silicone bands as FH is an electrician and always working with his hands!
