Bride-to-Be: Unique Wedding Bands for Him & Her
When RC told me that he wanted a black wedding band, I was taken aback. Wedding rings aren’t black! They’re plain, boring gold or silver bands. Aren’t they? Happily, I soon found out, they don’t have to be.
The set of rings with wooden inlay (below) are anything but boring and would be great for an outdoorsy or bohemian couple.
Get these titanium rings with black ash burl inlay, $139 ea.

The thing is, these are rings that you’re going to wear every day for the rest of your life. To RC and I, it was pretty important that we find rings that suited our personal styles.
When RC mentioned black rings, I started doing some digging online to see what our options were. Not only did I find black rings, but I found dozens of gorgeous rings in different shades and with unique designs.
Eventually we landed on the perfect rings for us with beautiful understated bands textured to look like the bark of a tree.
Even better, the designer was happy to plate them in black rhodium for us. I can’t wait to see them in person!
