Wedding Rings

Wedding Rings 

Wedding rings are a very important part of the wedding ceremony. It is a symbol of one’s love for their partner. The circular design of the ring represents the never ending love one shares for the other.

Wedding rings were once worn by wives only. It was worn on what is now commonly known as the ring finger because it was once believed that the “vein of love” was in this finger and led all the way to a person’s heart. Now it is common for both the man and wife to wear a wedding ring, still on the ring finger. The hand that the ring is worn on can be the right or left hand depending on the culture.

A common memorial in the wedding ring is the use of engraving. Many engrave their wedding ring as an etching to memorialize a special message that they wish to convey to their loved one. It is also common to etch the name of the partner or both partners as well as the date of the wedding into a wedding ring.

The most common wedding ring tends to be the diamond wedding ring. However, a wedding ring can come with many different gemstones in lieu of a diamond. In fact, with the customization available today, even a ring already set with a diamond can be changed to the gemstone of choice.

Remember that if you venture from the traditional diamond wedding ring that is ok, it is good to be unique. However, make sure that the ring you decide on is one that fits your loved one’s style and personality. The sky is the limit when choosing the perfect wedding ring. Show your loved one how much they mean to you with a wedding ring that perfectly displays your love and affection towards them.
