Traditions in Engagement & Wedding Rings

Written by
December 8th, 2009
Everyday, couples exchange vows and rings as part of their wedding ceremony.  Surprisingly though, most people are unfamiliar with the historic meaning of wearing a wedding ring.
Some early engagement rings were a symbol of the sale of the bride that occurred from the father to the groom.  Also, since Roman times it has been believed that the ring finger contains a vein that is directly connected to the heart.
There are actually quite a few reasons for this age-old tradition.  The circular shape was a sign of never-ending love between the couple, with no beginning or end.  Today we call these rings eternity bands and are traditionally given as wedding bands or anniversary gifts.

In early days rings were used to seal the deal of an engagement only. Thanks to Pope Innocent III in the 13th century, women get two rings: an engagement ring and wedding ring.  He instituted a waiting period between the engagement and the actual marriage and also required that a ring be used in the wedding ceremony.

These days more and more couples are choosing to spice up their wedding rings and go beyond the traditional band.  Diamonds can be found encircling the band of men’s and woman’s rings alike.  Colored stones and even pearls are gracing the tops of wedding bands, as more couples move away from tradition.  Engraved wedding bands are also very popular in the U.S. today.

So whether or not you think about the tradition behind wearing wedding rings, know that you can’t go wrong with your ring selection be it traditional or nontraditional.  Just buy beutiful wedding jewelry you will admire for a lifetime!

Choosing the right engagement ring

Written by

While shopping for diamond engagement or eternity rings, many buyers are surprised by the large number of diamond ring options available.  Whether you are purchasing a ring from a retailer or designing a ring to be crafted by a jeweler, a number of decisions must be made in selecting the perfect diamond ring.  Besides being familiar with the 4 Cs which affect the value and appearance of a diamond—cut, color, clarity and carat weight—the following considerations may also help you in your search for the perfect diamond ring:

-What diamond shape do I prefer?

Perhaps the first decision in selecting a diamond ring is which diamond shape you are seeking.  Diamond cutters craft diamonds in several shapes for diamond rings, some of which are round, princess, marquise, pear, and oval.  The shape of a diamond determines its outward appearance, and you will likely realize a natural preference for a particular shape as you shop.  Some rings have one central diamond, as in the traditional engagement ring, while others have several diamonds that may be the same or different shapes.

-What type of metal should I choose?

Yellow gold, white gold, platinum—there are a number of metals that are common for diamond rings.  Platinum is a popular option for engagement rings and eternity rings because of its resilience, though it comes with a higher price tag than other metals.  Silver, on the other hand, is prone to corrosion and thus is not the best choice for frequently worn rings such as wedding bands and eternity rings.  Discuss with your jeweler the metal that is right for you, taking into consideration its color, durability and resistance to corrosion.

-What setting style do I prefer?

Something you will quickly realize when shopping for diamond rings is that diamonds are affixed to rings in a variety of ways.  The way that a gem is set and held in place is referred to as its setting.  Several setting styles are common for diamond rings, some of which are the bezel setting, channel setting, and prong setting.  The shape and size of a diamond and the strength of the metal used may help determine the type of setting that is used in a particular ring.

Perhaps you already have in mind the type of diamond ring you are seeking, or maybe you prefer to explore all of the options until you simply discover the perfect ring.  With the multitude of diamond ring styles available, having an idea of the shape, type of metal and setting style you prefer can help you in your quest for the diamond ring that best suits your taste and personality.

Mens Wedding Rings: Simple or Flashy?

Written by
November 24th, 2009

Traditionally, during wedding ceremonies men receive a plain gold band when exchanging rings.  Today, however, the tables have turned and men are sporting more stylish sometimes flashy rings instead.  Along with this trend we have been seeing a growing number of “reverse proposals” where the woman asks for the man’s hand in marriage and offers him a ring.  In either case, diamond wedding rings for men have been making their mark, as well as designer men’s bands featuring very modern shapes and materials.

The designer wedding jewelry market has definitely noticed the peaking interest, and has been expanding the selections for men to choose from.  One of the more practical trends has been using more rugged materials like platinum, tungsten carbide, palladium, and titanium to name a few.  As well as various thicknesses and colors.  My friend recently gave her new husband a black tungsten wedding band, and it is most fitting to his style.

Another trend has been “blinged-out” men’s wedding rings.  Nick Cannon, who has recently married Mariah Carey, has been seen wearing a very flashy diamond men’s band.  Some have even gone as far as calling it gaudy, but to each his own.  I am sure some of the most famous woman’s diamond engagement rings have been called that as well, but usually out of jealousy.

I think it is very modern for men to want to take pride in the ring they are going to be wearing ’til death.  As often as a girl wants to recieve the most unique and gorgeous engagement ring, a man should be able to have the same expectations.  So for all of you who just don’t want to wear a ring at all, that is a conversation you will have with your spouse (good luck!)

diamond rings

While you may think of diamond engagement rings of being set with a single stone, this is not always the case. There are plenty of diamond rings that are set with other stones that are used as engagement rings. The aspect of the ring that makes it stand apart from other rings is that the diamond engagement rings usually have one stone that stands out amid the rest and are symmetrical in nature. This is not always the case, but tradition.

Today, diamond rings come in all shapes and sizes.  You can get diamond rings that are set in either platinum or white gold as well as yellow gold. Many women today prefer the look of white gold. You can get just diamonds or other gems as well. Diamond rings set in white gold have a sparkling effect and glisten from the hands. They look elegant on the fingers of whoever is wearing them.

Most couples today go together to choose diamond engagement rings.  Many times, a woman wants to choose her own ring as she intends to wear it for the rest of her life. In addition to wanting to have a certain style when it comes to her diamond rings, a woman also wants to make sure the ring fits.  Diamond rings are not like any other type of jewelry as they have to be sized. Diamond engagement rings are costly and have sentimental value.  No one wants them to slip off their finger. Nor does anyone want to have their diamond ring on so tight that it interferes with the circulation of the finger on which it is worn.

In some cases, a man may want to select a ring for his intended wife as a surprise.  It helps if he has an idea of what she likes when it comes to diamond rings. It also helps to know her size. Knowing what size diamonds she likes, if she prefers a solitaire diamond or a gemstone setting, if she prefers white gold to yellow, brushed finish to polished. All of these come into play when it comes to choices that are made with regard to diamond engagement rings.

Diamond engagement rings are the most special of all diamond rings as they indicate a promise as well as a hope for the future. Men who choose diamond engagement rings for the woman who they love have a great deal of choices to make. While every woman dreams of being surprised when it comes to getting engaged and being presented with a ring, she usually has a diamond in mind that she would like. The more that is known about her wishes, the easier the choice will be to buy a diamond engagement ring.  Men who want to not take any chances and get her something that she will love, should either pay close attention if she is talking at rings or admiring them, or just propose without the ring and allow her to choose the ring herself from the many diamond engagement rings offered by fine jewelers.
