Another thing we did yesterday was to look for wedding rings. We went to several places, including LaLaPort in Toyosu (they had OK rings there, but not great), the Ginza (expensive!), and Akasaka, but we found the perfect rings in our front yard, so to speak—Sunshine City, just a few blocks from home.

The rings we found are very nice platinum bands with a simple yet attractive pattern, with rings in exactly our sizes at a good price. I’m including an image below, but it shows up a problem with the iPhone’s camera: macro shots are definitely not a strength. Hopefully you can get at least a very basic idea of what the rings look like from this.

We won’t have the rings for another two weeks, however, as they’re being engraved.

One reason I like the ring I’m getting is because it’s light and thin. With the promise rings Sachi and I have had for more than a year now, mine is so big that it hurts when my hand is squeezed (happens more often than you’d think), and you can’t hold liquid in a cupped hand. The new ring is a lot slimmer and doesn’t hurt my hand when under pressure. And it looks a whole lot nicer!
