My gorgeous ring set! But was the wedding band the right choice?
I got married earlier this month and have the engagement ring and ring set of my dreams! Well almost... I'm now agonising on whether the gold wedding band was the right choice. Sometimes I look at my hand in adoration of how gorgeous it is... But sometimes am looking down and feeling like it just isn't me.
For context, my husband and I designed and sourced our rings together from a local designer. Fully custom. I am a silver wearer and neutral-cool toned. Always thought I would have a platinum wedding set. The switch to the gold wedding band was a very late stage pivot, my husband really liked the gold on me and I was surprised how soft and luxurious it looked vs the high contrast platinum (when trying sample bands on that were beside diamond settings). And he has a gold band and I like that it matches his. He's extremely warm toned so for him it needed to be gold.
We had a long e-ring design process and fast engagement... So I had to choose the metal colour for the wedding band before I wore the final engagement ring. And now that I can see them both I worry that the gold ering clashes too much with my skin and also takes away from the sapphire in the ering. Without the gold it doesn't include my husband... But the pure platinum would feel more like me! I'm letting myself get used to being a silver AND gold girl and suspect I'm overthinking it.
So please help! Did I make the right choice with gold? Or do you think platinum is much better? I love the gold in theory and love how premium it looks (more than platinum) but need to hear from others whether it works or not! Can't stop overthinking it.

And details for the curious, rings made in Sydney. It's an Australian parti sapphire with half moon diamond side stones, platinum band with gold setting. Designer is based in Melbourne.
