Mine and Mr. Lockets’ rings:

…as you may have guessed, Mr. Locket and I suffer from a serious case of indecision, which is fine and all, but sometimes it gets to be a little much. Case in point, Mr. Locket’s wedding band search.

I know what you are probably thinking…wait, didn’t the Lockets already figure out their wedding bands? And, you would be right in thinking so. But of course indecision snuck in, and after a couple of weeks of having his two bands in his possession, he began to question his choices (pictured above).

At that point he saw something else, a two-toned band that caught his eye, and decided to have it ordered in his size to try out. But after a quick look at it on his finger, he no longer liked it.

Sorry two-toned it’s not going to work out:

After deciding he didn’t like this option, he went back to something that had initially caught his eye in December: this brushed white gold band.

But, of course once it came in and he slipped it on, he wasn’t sure. He thought that something about the thickness seemed off and though he liked it very much, he just didn’t know that it was the right ring for him anymore. In that last visit (after having ordered four rings already), he came across another ring, a ring that he had not seen before.

Something similar to this unique mother of pearl band:

The only difference in the one he likes is that there are two thin stripes of mother of pearl surrounded by the stainless steel. I haven’t been able to find an exact photo of the ring yet because it’s so new.

It is a lovely band, but his new choice really has me worried. Why? Well, mother of pearl inlay isn’t the most sturdy of ring options, and over time it could crack and break. It isn’t necessarily something that screams longevity, but Mr. Locket loves it, so what am I to do? He made a good point that he could purchase multiples of the same band, that way in case one does break he would have one to replace it (which wouldn’t be a huge deal cost wise; we could get five for the price of the other bands).

What do you think? Would you sacrifice longevity for looks?
