    Some markets consider lab enhanced diamonds to be unethical. Any diamond of about .25 c or more should have supporting documents for its value. Black diamonds are not usually rhodium plated. In fact they are more likely lab enhanced using heat on a diamond with a lot of hematite imperfections in it. Same can be done with a diamond including boron which will change the diamond blue. It should have also been mentioned that most alternative rings cannot be changed once ordered. For example, tungsten, titanium, silicon, or carbon fiber rings are usually final sale.

    Just got my fiancée a gorgeous ring from Israel, a small goldsmith called Ayala Diamonds. I’m so excited to give it to him on our wedding day! I had him help me pick out the design and it’s true, he hadn’t even thought about it at all, but I wanted it to be just as special for him as my ring was to me, as he put a lot of care and love into mine. Spent months going through different styles and brands before I narrowed it down to the ones I had him pick from, it’s really worth doing research and looking into this stuff early if possible! There are so many amazing options for men’s bands these days, from custom designs (we had to get ours in a custom size as his hands are huge) to all sorts of different materials.

    Personally I think a wedding ring should be simple ring with no frills. It's a ring about commitment not about bling. The material is a different conversation depending on how hard wearing you need it. Any one that flashes some diamond encrusted wedding ring I'd probably question the reason.

    Edit: his information pertaining to black diamonds is a erroneous. Black diamonds are naturally black known as carbonanados that are conglomerates of microscopic nano diamonds naturally bonded together with graphite inclusions, and are not fully crystallized crystal structures pertaining to clarity. Most of them are irradiated (color treated) to enhance the blackness since their mined color is a dark brown. Finally, black rhodium plating is used in gold, or other metals, and not diamonds.

    Hmm. How interesting. In my culture we don't really buy separate wedding bands - you can if you want but it's optional. The engagement ring is her wedding ring and the man gets his own wedding ring. The woman buys his ring and it can't be a cheap - silver is a no-no. If he doesn't like yellow gold, it's platinum or white gold and usually will have diamonds or some other precious stone. His ring is important because it represents his value to his wife and is symbolic so it's insulting to give him a crap ring and expect him to wear it. It depends obviously on finances.

    Platinum is not more expensive than gold, please know your stuff before "teaching".
    The reason the rings cost more is because Platinum is denser than gold so the same size ring will weigh more and therefore you are paying more. But ounce per ounce gold is more expensive.

    A wedding band does not keep a person from sinning or prove loving affection.
    if a ring represented love... where's your ring for God?...
    You wouldn't be able to stand up... the ring would be so heavy around your waist if that was the way a person showed holding love towards another.
    wedding rings are man's way not God's way. God searches Hearts Jesus doesn't look for jewelry to know how much you love Him or one another.
    [A wedding band is not going to stop a rapist or a cheater.]
    "Regarding jewelry"
    it's not what you put on your body it's what your heart and actions show.
    After baptism you can trust one another because you are supposed to be living as Christ lived in love and truth.
    1 Peter 1:22
    Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
    (From the heart... not with worldly things.
    Do you listen to God or do you listen to the world?
    From the heart not from the outward appearance. when a person wears a wedding band they are trying to let that shine out to be noticed. but what does Scripture say about that? scripture says in
    1st Peter 3:1-7 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
    Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
    Remember the scripture says husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church. You see it says nothing about a silly ring of statement.
    it's simple...
    Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
    Everyone please remember...
    if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words
    "by the behavior." when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. listen to the word of God not man's ways.
    You see there's no room for the ring in marriage and it is not required by the Lord.
    if you think so where's your ring for God? it's not needed is it... it's from the heart... God searches hearts.
    Do you let metal speak for you or do you speak from your heart and by your actions?
    When you stay in step with the spirit you don't apply any metal to your body do you... No... it's by your actions and your words.
