Vera sent me this website to look at for wedding band designs (thank you sweetie!). Here are a few designs that look quite decent to me. Not sure what Wei Jien thinks of these though.
I like the guy band for this design, but the girl's one is a bit too masculine. It's not a design I would jump at and say, "Oh my gawd....this is it!!", but it is something I would consider if the jeweler can 'soften' the look and make the band thinner for me...
The overlapping design for this wedding band looks pretty nice, but I don't want something this 'twisted.' Maybe a straight band with a tiny bit of overlapping would be nice. Wei Jien probably wouldn't like the guy band. It's plain boring, and he doesn't want his ring to have an "unconventional" shape. LOL
Okay...I know I keep coming back to this type of design. It looks like a Tiffany design, but I think the original Tiffany version has softer edges -- the ring looks more feminine and it's more princess-like. I find the prong for this ring a bit too big...meaning the diamonds wouldn't shine much. ~_~
This pair comes with the wedding date engraved in roman numerals. The guy band has a matte finish, and the girl's has round small diamonds along half the band. I don't think I want the roman numerals engraving, probably just our names...
This is a CORONA wedding band in platinum, with 7 diamonds from Bvlgari. It looks simple, but it could also look elegant with the engagement ring. A polished finish for this would be nice...not a matte one.

I was talking to my jeweler while waiting for my ring to get resized a few days ago. He talked about choosing the right wedding band to match my engagement ring. Wei Jien had a few designs (for the wedding band) in mind when he decided on my engagement ring, and we both agreed on Design 1 (Tiffany inspired).
Our jeweler recommended that we combine Design 1 with Design 2 (also Tiffany inspired), as the shape of Design 2 would fit my engagement ring nicely. The other three designs are what I thought looked nice, so I decided to keep them as reference. This isn't fixed, as the end result might not be what I have in mind for the combination of both rings (engagement & wedding band). So I might have to do tweaks here and there.
Wei Jien has something in mind for his ring, and I'm worried it might be difficult to make. He's in the midst of sketching what he wants, and I will have to refine it before showing it to the jeweler. I hope our bands won't be too far apart in style!
