Wedding Rings - Lasting Symbols
Creating An Heirloom
Wedding rings vary in style from one culture to another. They are lasting symbols of a very special union. Often the choice of a wedding ring can be the start of the first family heirloom. There may be a bit of truth to the idea that a Grandmother or Grandfather's long lasting marriage is linked to future generations who share their grandparents fortunate union through the symbolism of wedding rings. Often, an heirloom wedding ring can begin in a very simple design and after two or three generations, the style can be enhanced using the original ring. Adding diamonds to an heirloom ring reinvents it and yet preserves the original elegance. Simple gold wedding rings become beautiful diamond wedding rings in a more updated style. For men, gold wedding rings are the perfect start of an heirloom worn and preserved for future generations. These rings can be set with diamonds or other gems to add beauty and elegance in masculine styles.
Wedding Bands - Beauty And Brilliance
Modern women love the look of diamond wedding rings because they coordinate so well with formal or casual attire. On the wedding day, the bride's ring is clearly on display during the ceremony and reception. With every flutter of her fingers, the sparkle catches light and the attention of wedding guests. Yet wedding bands set with platinum and diamonds paired together speak a language as no other can. Platinum wedding rings are the popular choice that easily exhibit beauty and brilliance. Platinum wedding rings are the choice of men and women because they marry so well with sportwear or evening wardrobes.
Design And Style
No matter which metal is chosen in rings for the wedding day, the design and style will be important. Ethereal platinum in graceful cutwork designs or in a wide highly polished band offer as much elegance as antique gold rings or full bands of diamonds. Think how wonderful a wide gold or platinum band will look when it is set with a single large diamond in a round or square cut. This works well for masculine as well as feminine tastes. This style presents a kind of "unisex" statement. For discerning tastes, the stone's setting is a major priority. Emerald cut diamonds on a narrow platinum band have regal style fit for a queen. One trend in modern rings are the choices of multi-color diamond settings.

Anyone who has ever seen a couple choose their wedding bands cannot possibly miss the look of unity and love in their eyes. He wants her to have the wedding band she's always dreamed of.

So the time has come! He proposed, you accepted...as you look down and stare into the eyes of your loved one and then back to the little box that you're wedding ring came in, the shock and suspense overwhelm you as you force a smile out.

Wedding band selection is indeed an art; therefore you should be prepared, yet not overwhelmed. Make sure that you have a budget planned out so that you can stay within comfortable range of investment. Do research on the place you choose to trust with creating or purchasing your ring (think about your options, an online company as opposed to an in store purchase and so forth...). Color refers to the color of the diamond. D, E, and F diamonds are nearly colorless which means that the stone itself appears clear and without pigmentation. G, H, I, and J are nearly colorless but may some pigmentation however when placed in a proper setting, the stone may seem colorless. Clarity reflects the purity of the diamond and is determined by the diamond's nature. Because diamonds are natural elements, they are selected as is and are distinct in their own way, similar to how each ring should be unique as well. The shape of a diamond can express artistic articulation as well as tradition. This shape is extracted from the specific cut of the diamond. Carat describes the weight of the diamond, which is determined by the budget and preference.Essentially, with consideration to the recipient of the ring, certain preparation and understanding should come into effect.

A Wedding Band, The Symbol Of Eternal Love
Wearing The Symbol Of Eternal Love
Wearing a wedding band is rich in symbolism. The shape of the wedding, an unbroken circle, reminds the wearer of the eternal commitment the couple make to each other. The tradition of wearing this symbol of eternal love may have been a sign of identification. Two people wearing the same wedding bands clearly identified their mutual commitment to each other. As time passed wedding bands went through several changes in materials from which a wedding band was made to the styles in which it was created.
The Gold Wedding Band
Gold, as everyone knows, is a valuable mineral ore which can increase in value or remain of static value. It rarely decreases in value. Gold value is determined by the weight of the gold content in wedding bands. Gold wedding bands may be 10, 12, 14 or 18 karat gold weight with the highest gold weight having the most value. Originally, presenting a gold wedding ring during the marriage ceremony indicated the couple's first life investment as well as their first significant mutual possession of value. In times of economic austerity, gold wedding rings could be sold to help prevent a difficult financial situation. Also, gold wedding bands were an intimate symbol of the desire to bestow a truly valuable offering to a spouse.
Wedding Ring Styles
Though simple gold wedding bands are the most popular, styles have changed from narrow bands to wide and from bands of gold to bands of titanium, platinum, silver and jewel-encrusted bands of white gold. Men as well as women wear wedding rings. Although, men traditionally prefer wide masculine bands. A wedding ring is worn more often by women than men. The reason for this is that men tend to work in jobs where the wearing of jewelry may be prohibited due to workplace hazards or chemicals that can break down the material content of the ring. Although rings may be exchanged at a double ring wedding ceremony, there are many wedding ceremonies where only the bride is presented with a wedding ring.
Tastes In Jewelry Affect Tastes In Wedding Ring Styles
Women traditionally love to wear jewelry. This may affect tastes in wedding ring styles for women. Women may choose wedding rings for the pure simplicity of the symbol of her wedded state. Or, women may choose a wedding ring as a jewelry accent for her wardrobe.
