Considering my career, I didn’t wear a wedding ring for over 35 years. In that time my cheapy, original band disappeared (thievin’ babysitters). When I retired I wanted a ring that didn’t 100% scream “marriage”. So I bought rather chunky, almost primitive silver ring that works really well. It was done by a lady (Saundra Messinger) who is supposedly well thought of as a jeweler (East Coast). She’s still peddling them (and others) on her website and come in around $250.
What size is your ring? if you have huge hands, probably better to go with something less obvious as to not draw attention to your Andre The Giant sized hands.
Yeah I have big hands and fat fingers. Size 14, it's hard to find that size at most places so I'll have to special order or go custom
I was thinking of having the Blazers red and back incorporated some how, but it will probably look too cheesy.

Our wedding colors were gray and red (I'm a WSU grad but she picked the colors) and so I got a dark gray ring with a simple and small red stripe around the middle. Most probably think I'm a firefighter or something with it but I love it. Simple, not flashy but has some meaning to it. We ordered it online and it was around $200.
A 24 carat gold band is nice but somewhat soft so you need an amalgam for the clasp and the prongs. When I bought my wife's 1.6 carat diamond, I did some research. I like the round brilliant. You want your diamond well proportioned. I'd also go for the clarity and color to be what is the minimum that collectors go for. I got a VVSI, very very slight imperfection, which is one step below flawless. If I remember right there is a big step in the cost between a VVSI and a flawless. Next go for the color. Colors are graded in letters of the alphabet. I believe I got a color 'G' although a color 'E' is highly desired. Go to the internet and look up the features and proportions and learn what the best proportions are for all the features such as the table, culet, crown, pavilion.
