Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
I think once you put them together, the metals do look different. I plan on sticking with white gold. HTHS

I agree, I tried on a white gold wedding band w/my e-ring and there is a clear difference in color.
I'm sticking with platinum. IMO, for a lifetime ring, it is worth the splurge.

Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
i think it depends on the style of the eternity band... if the band is prong set diamonds, go for the WG!
But if the band is channel set with a lot of metal showing, you should prob go w/ the plat.

Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
I actually had a friend that did this and I couldn't tell...but then again...I think if it was on my finger 24/7 I would notice it.
I, personally, am getting my wedding band in platinum. This is one area that's worth spending the extra money on. You will have them forever...

Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
Remember that eternity bands usually cannot be sized... think pregnancy/weight gain...

Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
I plan on doing the same thing. My e-ring is plat...but it scratches like crazy and drives me nuts. So I am getting a w-gold wedding band.

just so you know, gold is much softer than platinum. they both scratch though.
even titanium scratches after a while. it's just one of those things... not really avoidable.

Re: Engagement Ring/Wedding Band...
Thanks for your responses.
I guess the general consensus is to go for the platinum. I agree that if we can budget it in, it's worth it.
Thank you!
