WEDDING BAND is more expensive than a ring?
I dont really see how.. Lets say you make your jewelry in 18kt.. Well the ring = gold + diamond.. the band = gold
But again, the size of the rock you put on her finger shouldnt count for much.. Some people have a lot of $$ and others dont..
1500$ will get you a nice ring.. Not certified baller, but slightly above average.

= baller!
