Coming up on our wedding, the ring choice is stressing me out more than I expected. Work involves tools and a lot of hand washing, weekends are spent hiking, and there’s also a nickel sensitivity to consider. Torn between platinum, gold, or something tougher like titanium. Wondering about width too—4mm looks subtle, 6mm looks balanced. Comfort-fit vs standard? Brushed vs polished? Hoping for something that won’t look beat up in a month, can be resized if needed, and won’t trap grime. Any simple, real-world advice would help a lot.

Grew up working with tools and learned the hard way that polished bands show scratches fast. A brushed or hammered finish stayed presentable for me, even after landscaping days. Comfort-fit also made a difference when hands swelled in the heat. Wearing a 5mm band felt low-profile under gloves, while 6mm looked a bit stronger for photos. Testing a sizer at different times of day and during workouts told me more than any chart. Good luck—sounds like you’re thinking about the right details.
