pearl wedding rings

Wedding rings in themselves are symbolic, representing the couple’s commitment to each other. But, a wedding band can have other meanings as well. – The European tradition is one of engraving of the name of one’s fiance, along with the date of the marriage, on the inside of the ring.

This Jewish wedding ring was actually shaped like the dome of the Jewish Temple; since it was only used in a small portion of the ceremony and then removed, the “wedding ring” was often the property of the synagogue and borrowed the event.

- Another tradition was that of wearing a ring set with a different stone for each day of the week. – Combining metals is a more recent phenomenon, such as artistically combining gold and iron to signify the combining strength and beauty.

- Religious Bands. Religious rings can reflect your strong faith. You may want to choose bands that integrate a cross or meaningful symbol into the design. Or, have a bible verse engraved inside the ring.

- Engraved Rings. There are many ways you can customize a ring with engraving.

- Cultural Rings. Heritage is another way to customize your wedding rings. A Celtic or Irish heritage, for example, can be symbolized in several ways — by choosing a Claddagh or ring with other Celtic symbols. Those with a Greek heritage may want a wedding ring adorned with the Greek Key design. This interlocking design is said to symbolize devotion, love, and friendship.

-Lifestyle Bands. Some couples convey a lifestyle choice with the wedding ring. Gay couples often choose rings with appropriate symbols encircling the bands, for example. So much so, many couple not only choose wedding rings emblazoned with the Harley logo, but also plan entire wedding around the biker theme.

Whatever your heritage, passion, or desire, chances are it can be somehow incorporate into your wedding ring design.

Pearl Engagement Rings – Unique, Beautiful Options for the Modern Bride

Rings Jewelry report By Darren Gettis

While pearls are a traditional choice for a bride to wear on her wedding day, they are a less common gem for an wedding ring. However, pearl wedding rings are gaining in popularity as brides look for new and unique ring options. The oyster covers the irritant with a shiny substance called nacre. Thicker nacre results in a more lustrous and durable pearl. The irritant may be naturally occurring, or introduced by the producer, as in cultured pearls. Freshwater varieties are formed by mussels, and are composed almost entirely of nacre.

Several factors must be considered when choosing a pearl for an wedding ring. Common colors include white, cream, green, blue, silver, and black. The pearl must be examined carefully for blemishes. Finally, size and shape will factor into choosing a pearl. Teardrops and baroque (irregular) pearls are the more common, less expensive options.

Pearl wedding rings are available in a wide variety of settings and styles, ranging from vintage to classic to modern. For example, a cream colored pearl with rose overtones would look lovely with small rubies on either side, set into a gold band. Cool color pearls, such as silver or black, coordinate well with sapphires or diamonds and white gold or platinum bands.
