I'm getting married and I'm looking for wedding rings but the ones that I like are so feminine. Most jewelry websites I've been to don't have matching masculine rings to the ones I like. Is it ok if your rings look totally different? I want matching ones, though.

Nope. I think your rings should be something you and your husband like. After all, if you don't like it, you won't want to wear it. The same goes for him. You should be proud to show off your beautiful wedding bands, and believe me, people will ask to see them!!
The important part is the symbolization that the rings hold. They are a reminder of the commitment you and your new husband will have. They should be a reminder that doesn't bring ANY bad thoughts to his mind or your mind!
Remember, even though you and your husband will be married, you're still individuals with different tastes in some things. I feel like non-matching wedding rings remind you of your unity as a couple and your own personal uniqueness at the same time.

No your husbands ring can look absolutely different. Dont worry about that! Iam sure you have other things to worry about than that! Its totally fine to have rings that dont look the same. If you truly want matching ones try just band rings like the guys rings. Their not the prettiest but you can find ones that you can match. My friend i think she did that cause they had the same but i got a beautiful ring that is totally different than my husbands but its what i wanted. If you want to talk send me a message! By the way congrats and good luck!

I think it is just fine if the rings don't match. My ring was my husband's grandmother's ring. Its nearly 80 years old so finding a match never crossed my mind. We did spend quite a bit of time finding my husband a ring he was comfortable wearing. It was actually time wasted though because his weight changed and the ring sat in the jewelry box waiting for us to re-size it. When we moved the box got knocked open and we lost it. He has lost 3 rings since then. He has this nasty habit of taking his ring off in restaurants and spinning it on the table because he is bored. He also leaves it on the bed-stand and the cats knock it off to the floor and play with it. You know what, don't bother buying your hubby to be a ring at all. Have one tattooed to his ring finger.

If you want the rings to match, then you will have to find a set for yourself that do not look too feminine so your husband's will match. My rings do not match my husband's. Mine are yellow gold and his is yellow gold with a silver band in the middle.

They don't have to match. I always said I wanted ours to match, but the set he and I picked for me doesn't have a matching gentleman's band. However, he didn't want any diamonds for his ring and it had to be something strong and durable (he works in a cabinetry facility). Then we came to the decision that the rings were ours to wear and they should each be something the person who had to wear it really liked. Needless to say, I have a beautiful1.5 carat diamond and white gold set and he has a simple stainless steel band with a center yellow gold ring. They may not match, but then again, I guess it doesn't matter after all. :)

Well, if you want totally matching ones, then you need to get totally matching ones. Mine and my husbands are completely different though, I have a diamond band and his is just plain white gold. Your wedding ring is something very personal, so you should love yours and your husband should love his, especially if you want him to wear it, because if he doesn't like it, he sure won't wear it.

Your rings don't have to match. They can be whatever you want. If you want a more feminine ring, that's fine. Just get your husband-to-be's band in the same color metal as you got. They will match just fine.

Not at all. My fiance has a plain platinum band. I went with a white gold channel set band with princess cut diamonds. Even though they don't match, they are a perfect pair. Have your rings inscribed to make them more inseperable. Maybe one ring can say a part of a phrase... and the other ring can say something else... i.e. His says, "Together" Hers says, "Forever"

No, your rings do not have to match. As in the case where the groom presents his future wife with his grandmothers or mothers engagement and wedding ring.

Probably the best way to have matching rings is to work with a jeweler to design your rings. That way you match, and better, you will have something that is unique to the both of you.
