It’s nice to have a backup. That’s the thought behind the trend of “backup bands,” less expensive and more resilient rings that show you’re taken but won’t tempt fate as much as your pricey engagement ring and wedding band.

Locally, Four Peaks Mining Co. offers sterling silver circlets with birthstones ($60-$90) for a bit of bling that won’t break the bank if you have to replace it.
