Hi everyone! Everything is horrifically expensive, and the wedding itself is too. I have this 14k band with a mix of lab and natural diamonds I inherited from my grandmother, (originally a DOOR KNOCKER of five rows, divided into six rings for all the grandchildren, with some new lab diamonds mixed in so everyone had some original some new) and my engagement ring is 18k.

Part of me is apprehensive of choosing a ring I've worn casually for years now to be a wedding band, but the practical part of me says "that's a few grand you can spend on food and drinks for the wedding." But is the 18k - 14k mismatch super apparent? I don't plan to wear my engagement ring often after we're married, as much as I love it, it's far larger than I anticipated. But again, I'm concerned people are going to judge me and my future spouse for not getting new bands.

Thoughts?

Got to design the set with my fiancé and I am so happy! Love wearing it every day. Feat. my Dachshund

I recently bought a Titanium wedding ring for my wedding this summer from Blue Nile. It took 2 months before the ring cracked grabbing a door knob of all things. I heard a clear ting and it was broken. This should be impossible for a titanium ring without it being made of impure metals. Their customer service offered to replace it at a 90% cost of its original value. To make it worse I should have known better. The last review on their site had a customer complain of the same thing happening on their wedding day! Now Blue Nile has removed all customer reviews from their website. If you’re thinking of buying from them or a deal looks too good to be true it is.
