About Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

Cinnamon Buns’ ring is in! Again! I talked about it before, but the Cole’s Notes version is that there was this ring Cinnamon Buns liked—size 7.5 was too small, 8 was too big.

After that last post, the jewelers had said they were going to order the 7.5 back in (we’d sent it back when it was too small) and bore out the middle to make it into a 7.75 size ring. This would void the warranty on it, but at least Cinnamon Buns would have the ring he liked, right? Not having the warranty would just encourage him not to get too fat ;) as it completely covers needing a new size. The ring is mostly tungsten, so you can’t just get a jeweler to re-size it.

Well, Kevin John (the design company) sent our jeweler a 7.75 ring, after they explained what was going on! And because our jeweler didn’t bore it out, the warranty is still good!

We went in to this whole ring-buying-shebang not expecting to get matching bands—we were just going to get what we liked. Or in my case, get whatever I liked custom made to fit the stone. The funny thing is that this Kevin John ring that Cinnamon Buns fell for is tungsten with a rose gold stripe through the middle. What I got custom-made was a white gold band with a rose gold stripe through the middle. It makes me inexplicably happy that they coordinate!

I can’t wait until we get to wear them all the time!

Do your wedding bands match? Do you care if they do or not?

Over here in Brazil mostly wedding rings are basic and just with gold.
I love to see that around the world it has many differences.
LOVED!!!

That’s so cool. Ours don’t match. Mine is pure white, while his is a dark grey/black. Mine is dainty, but not too fussy, his is just a simple band. It’s kind of cool that they are that different.

I love that they match! They look awesome! I got two bands and one coincidentally coordinates with his.

Ours don’t match exactly, but they do coordinate nicely. His is shiny white gold with a milgrain edge, and mine is palladium with a milgrain edge, but with a pattern etched into the middle (http://www.weddingrings.com/images/big/11-1318wg-g.jpg). They’re both of similar width.

ours don’t match, but they coordinate. And I’m okay with that. Mine is a channel set white gold eternity ring and his is a simple tungsten band.

My fiance was stuck on yellow gold to match his Aggie ring…but discovered after denting up that ring at work on stainless steel that he needed a tougher metal. So he’s getting tungsten too–in white! So his will actually match my white gold ring, which I’m thrilled about. I definitely was disappointed when he wanted yellow…
