Me & my fiance are making our own wedding bands! We found an Instructable (http://www.instructables.com) on how to make rings out of silver quarters, so that's what we're working on now

We got our wedding bands off of ebay. The guy handcrafts them from Ireland. Our rings have the Claddagh on them and are white and yellow gold. Also he engraved them for free which says "My Love, For Eternity." Our rings cost $400 and are great quality. Love it!

I hated every ring in every jewelry store. I want to wear this thing everyday of my life, I want something I love. I found this jewelry store out of austin, tx at ringsunique.com and i actually had to narrow down my top 11 favorites and wittled it down til I picked mine and made some slight changes…like my center stone is a $25 citrine, and the owner was totally supportive unlike the "well we could do a yellow diamond, or yellow sapphire" comments I got from other jewelers. Check it out their collections are so diverse!

I'm in Houston, Texas and were looking for green conflict free ring for my fiancee and found two local companies in Texas. Green Karat and Green ORO, i went to their respective websites i.e http://www.greenkarat.com and http://www.greenoro.com. I found the prices on Green ORO much more reasonable then Green Karat. I save over $ 500 by buying from Green ORO as they are the direct manufacturers of Green Jewelry.

Few things i found and personally visited:
Pros and Cons:
Green Karat
1) Pros:
Green Karat: been in business and internet for long years
Cons:
1) Higher Prices
2) No In house retail showroom or store
3) Green Karat ETA time is much more then Green ORO
4) Don't offer high end created diamond settings or jewelry repairs
5) No Physical Location to visit , everything is Online
Green ORO:
Pros:
1) Reasonable and Cheaper Prices then Green Karat
2) Direct Manufacturer and willing to work with you on Custom Jewelry
3) Repairs are much faster on all green jewelry
4) no outsourcing to any middle man , everything is done within their showroom and have work labs
5) ORO Certificate of Authenticity to Back 100% recycled gold and process.
6) One Tree & One Ring at a Time – i really love this concept as they will put one tree towards the purchase i made. Highly impressed with their unique concept.
7) ETA is much less then Green Karat You can visit their physical Location and Showroom and can see the Green Process

For Celtic styles check out The Claddagh Store in Dublin. They have beautiful jewelry, not just rings. Their designs range from the classic Claddagh Irish Wedding Band to some really funky modern designs, and hundreds of styles in between. Sterling silver options begin around $30, but they also do higher-end gold, platinum, and even diamonds. My fiance forgot to inlude my size when he ordered, and they contacted us right away to sort it out. We even got to talk to a real person, not just a computer!

Here's some advice that I like to give:

Don't forget about palladium. Palladium is a naturally white and affordable metal that is a better choice over white gold if platinum is not an option!

Also keep in mind that any consumer's best option is to educate themselves about all the common metal choices for wedding bands, engagement rings and jewelry – platinum, palladium, gold and even sterling silver. After all, jewelry can be considered and investment, and an educated consumer is the jewelry industry's best customer. It's good to also realize that metals' prices fluctuate – kind of like how oil and other commodities do.

My fiance and I just picked out my ring – I wanted a clear stone, but not a diamond for ethical reasons. We found Moissanite to be cheaper, and you get to make all the jokes about space rocks and kryptonite you want!
