JOHNSON’ S JEWEL LERS WITH THIS RING… A SYMBOL OF MARRIAGE
12
The tradition of wearing wedding rings between spouses dates back to the Ancient Egyptians. Although the rings were not made from precious metals like today, they were delicately created from more organic materials such as hemp. Craftsmanship has adapted rapidly over the decades however beliefs have remained the same.
Many people ask why a wedding band is worn on the left hand, on the fourth finger…The ideology is this particular finger on the left hand has a ‘vein of love’, which directly leads to the heart. It is not uncommon however in Eastern European countries that wedding bands are worn on the right hand. In the Netherlands rings are worn on both hands, historically to represent the religion of its wearer; Catholics (left hand) or Protestants (Right hand).
There are no written rules in the design you should choose as a wedding band; whether you opt for plain, patterned or even something truly unique. Today wedding rings are usually made from precious metals such as gold, platinum and more recently palladium (sister metal to platinum). Industrial metals such as titanium or cobalt are also accessible for clients looking for an even harder wearing material. The perpetuity of these noble metals symbolizes the permanence of a marriage.
There are many styles on offer. The traditional plain wedding band remains a popular choice - simple and elegant. These come in various widths to both complement the engagement ring and to best fit the wearer’s hand.
If you are looking for something a little more elaborate however, there are many more options. Patterned wedding bands are for those who are after a classic ring but with a twist. From Celtic designs to dazzling diamond cut, there is a pattern for each
person’s taste. Some careers today do not allow stone set jewellery, so a patterned wedding band could be an excellent choice. Two or three coloured bands are also popular, combining different coloured golds or other precious metals. For those who love a little sparkle, having a diamond set band can be the right choice for you. A useful tip for ladies having a diamond wedding band is to try and match the same setting from the engagement ring but the experts at Johnson’s can help to guide you on this.
To find the perfect fit, there are a choice of ring profiles to choose from too. These profiles (traditional court, flat, D-shape) have been created to suit different hand shapes for maximum comfort. Something to also consider is that engagement rings have all been created with different profiles too, consequently it is recommended to match both rings with the same profile shape.
