Early Wedding Rings
One of the earliest recorded societies to use wedding rings were the ancient Egyptians. Rings offered an accessory representing the eternal: a perfect circle with no beginning or end. After Alexander the Great overtook Egypt, the Greeks adopted the tradition of exchanging rings as symbols of love. Depictions of Eros, the god of love, and inscriptions added to the ring’s romantic significance. The Romans cemented the tradition by exchanging copper or iron rings during marriage ceremonies and placing the rings on the second to last finger of the left hand. This finger was believed to contain the “vein of love” or “vena amoris” which flowed directly to one’s heart. At this time, gold wedding rings were luxurious objects only available to the wealthiest classes of society.
Wedding Ring Metals
In the 1930s, platinum wedding rings were set with round and square diamonds, as well as alternating sapphires and diamonds. The fashionable trend for rose gold wedding bands includes plain bands and wishbone wedding rings with gemstones. White gold wedding rings are made from an alloy of yellow gold and palladium. The ring is then rhodium plated for a white finish. Clients tend to select a wedding ring to match the metal of their engagement ring or stack their rings with different metal colours.
Diamond Wedding Rings
With their incredible hardness, diamonds have long been symbols of strength and longevity— with the first recorded diamond wedding ring dating to the 15th century. Queen Victoria’s penchant for diamonds increased their popularity as the primary stone for wedding rings throughout the 19th century. Today diamond wedding rings are commonly worn by both men and women alike. A potent symbol of everlasting love, they are highly adaptable to a wide variety of styles, from classic to unusual. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer bold brilliance or understated sparkle, diamonds offer the ideal choice for adorning your wedding ring.
