What difference does it really make, the ring is just a symbol. I don't see wealthy people having longer marriages just because they spent more on a ring.

When people get married doesn't it say "as a token" when rings are exchanged? A ring is symbolic of ones commitment, "for richer or poorer", not of ones wealth or status. A lot of this thread is indicative of the failings in our society , too much emphasis placed on material objects rather than the love and commitment that wearing this ring would mean to the people using this as a wedding or eternity ring.

I had a stainless steel ring for about a fiver from Ebay so that I could afford a platinum one for my wife.

Some people here are really pathetic. Marriage is not about blink-blink ring and show off place and ceremony (lot of girls should realise, that they are not real princesses). It's about that day by day life with person which you chose to spend (hopefully) rest of your days. I'm quite young, but I'm still surprised how people are shallow and small-mind in this most important choice in life. Marriage is now like a phone contact (many times even less then 18 months lol).

"Titanium", "Eternity": What is "Eternity"?

I think its describing the length of admiration whilst wearing.

I know nothing about weddings so I don't know if your answer is real or sarcastic.

I'd advise another store if you are looking for wedding rings.

Agreed, who would wear a £7 wedding band?

Indeed. Imagine the impressed looks when you're on the bus :smiley:

Surely looking down on the price of a ring, is exactly the opposite of "class", you cannot buy class, you either have it or you don't. Stuffing a 'diamond' into the ring would in my opinion lower it's class level, but the price doesn't.
My titanium wedding ring was chosen because it was very light (pretty much the lightest rings available for men), didn't contain any precious jewels, and was cheap, because I saw no reason to spend lots of money, plus at the time when I got married, titanium wedding rings couldn't be bought for more than £20 and as I said, it was the properties of titanium that mattered.

I'm a bloke, so I'm not sure it'd fit, but if that meant something to a couple why not? The meaning of something is surely more important than the material it is made out of.
