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.
