Last night, M and I went out and got his ring size determined by a couple of jewlers. (Naturally, I forced him into two places to double check the first size was correct - totally normal, right?) I told you we were considering going with Etsy for his wedding band, and after some further consideration, I decided to go for it! I love Etsy, I love supporting independent artisans and the price could not be beat. Really - $45 for a wedding band, no tax nor shipping? Now that is a language I can speak. Fluently.
So we got home last night and I took one last look through the many styles offered by Titanium Knights and ultimately decided on a domed ring with cut grooves on either side. It's 6mm wide with a combination of a brushed finish in the center and polished bands on the outside. It's classic but with a bit of detail while still remaining simple. And truthfully, it's perfect for him.
Titanium Knights have super quick turn around times (2 - 3 days production time before shipping) so I should have it in my possession soon and I'll be sure to let you know what we think of the quality and share additional photos. They have a great Etsy rating so I'm confident it's going to be perfect, but in the event it's not I figure we'll just upgrade M's band for our first anniversary. I'm really super happy with this decision and can't wait to see his ring! It was a lot of fun to pick it out and it's one of those little things that makes this whole getting married thing feel a lot more real. Is anyone else taking the Etsy plunge (or a similar avenue) for wedding bands? And seriously, isn't ring shopping incredibly fun?

I didn't even consider Etsy for my husband - never thought of it! That's a great price though so I wish I would have. :)
I think it's great that you are going with Etsy. I wish I had thought of it at the time!
I got my fiance's engagement band from Titanium Knights. They were awesome. I also already picked out my wedding band from Etsy, whee!
great ring :)
This is hilarious. We're ordering J's ring online as well, and when we picked out my ring he got his finger sized, so I keep bugging him about ordering the ring and he keeps putting it off because he wants to get his ring size checked by another place! Maybe I'll drag him out to a jeweler tonight :-P
