White Gold is our choice....every few years get it rhodium plated to renew its luster. My ring is made by Benchmark and is a comfort fit band. Find the width you like that feels the best, then shop brands/fits.
We went with Palladium for both, but my wife's diamond prongs kept loosening up.
The jeweler finally recommended we go to white gold, so they swapped it out for free.
I still have my palladium band. It scratches very easily. It is basically a matte finish now because of all of the scratches. I like that look though.
I had a gold band for many years but I don't really like gold and it cracked where it was resized and started digging into my finger so I put it in a drawer. A few years ago my wife bought me a titanium ring to replace it which I like very much.
I got some tungsten and titanium alloy ring. it's nice because it's hard like tungsten and wont scratch but the Ti makes it weigh less than your typical tungsten ring.
I am going to get a tungsten ring. So, with the money I saved instead of gold, I bought myself a few "engagement" automatic watches (grey market ) that will go with my eventual ring.
