Reflecting Love Off The Brilliance of Wedding Rings
The wedding ring is a time honored tradition passed down throughout the ages and varies in tradition across different cultures. No matter what the cultural history, a wedding band is an unmistakable symbol of love and fidelity shared between two people. There are as many rings available today as there are people with different tastes. For instance, a popular Greek tradition is the use of gimmal, or puzzle rings.
These rings often consist of two, four, six, eight, or twelve bands and are popular for use as men’s wedding rings. Many find that they have ties to the Celtic isles, while others chose these beautiful rings simply for their symbolism and style. Celtic wedding rings range from the more familiar claddagh rings, which are used as symbols for love and friendship, to a wide variety of Celtic patterns. They are beautiful and also make great men’s wedding bands due to the styles and colors associated with such artistry.
Looking to have a diamond ring wedding? Custom patterns such as family crests or mutually designated symbols can also be engraved into wedding rings upon request. If, however, the ring will only be worn around the neck or on special occasions or only the engagement ring worn day to day, you may wish to go elaborate. A ring is just a ring, but it’s the love that the ring symbolizes that is the most important investment of all.
Going Beyond Diamond Rings
Weddings and diamond rings are two subjects that just go together. Instead of just getting a plain band to go with their single stone engagement rings, more women are choosing to get diamond ring wraps as their wedding bands. Some women choose to wear a ring wrap around an heirloom diamond (such as their mother's engagement ring), and still others choose to wear both a wrap and wedding band along with their own engagement ring.
Diamond ring wraps can be made in a variety of styles as well. Finally, some ring wraps have just two stones, one on either side of the solitaire, meant to subtly enhance the original ring. There are several things to consider when purchasing a ring wrap. Also, you may need to size up your ring wrap by a half size – wearing a wrap over another ring can mean that you need a larger size to fit properly.
