I'd stuck with a traditional gold band. The thing I did different was make it a size smaller.
Because of the thicker skin pads on my hands, the area has grown around the band.
It's a comfortable fit and will not come off.

Just an aside. I'm a para and wore my wedding band when I was first married. However, sometimes it would catch on a door or other narrow passage way, so I stopped wearing it on my hand. Wearing it on a chain around the neck is an alternative. This wouldn't be a problem for a quad who isn't propelling a manual chair.
