Rings To Celebrate Your Marriage
For most of recorded history, betrothal and marriage have been represented by the wearing of rings. The earliest ones were not precious metal but were usually made of iron. Some betrothal rings were not even of that quality, being made instead of woven grass. Fortunately, engagements were usually quite brief, so they lasted until the marriage, when they were usually replaced with a metal one. Eventually, silver and gold became more commonly used, and the use of gemstones then followed. However, diamonds were almost never included, since they were scarce and extremely expensive, reserved mainly for royalty. Major diamond deposits were found during the 1800s, which increased the supply and lowered the cost, although both were tightly controlled by the mine operators.
Antique engagement rings sometimes reflect cost and rarity of diamonds. Sapphires, amethysts, and rubies were often used instead. Settings, however, were often very ornate, and jewelers mastered the technique of creating rings with delicate, intricate filigree. An antique can be a half century old or a half a millennium old, so there will be a great variance in styles and the gemstones used. As such, there is no true 'standard' antique ring.
How a diamond is cut is often the factor most enticing to a prospective bride. Most of the common cuts feature tops that are flat. Round cut stones are quite popular, particularly for a solitaire. The sides have facets that increase the sparkle of the stone, regardless of size. Princess cut engagement rings are also quite popular. This is a stone cut in a square, which is then either mounted as a solitaire with prongs bent over the corners or flush mounted into the metal.
It is best to either buy wedding sets that are designed to fit together or at least try both rings on together. You want to make sure that the prongs or supports on the engagement ring do not become entangled with the wedding ring. There are also some sets that are designed to interlock, often by the use of a swirl on each.
Over the course of the marriage, some couples opt to replace the engagement or wedding ring, or both, with an eternity ring. These bands have gems that are normally channel set into the metal. The stones usually encircle the band completely, but some styles have them only on part of the ring. While diamonds are used most often, they sometimes are combined with other stones, frequently birthstones for the family. Most often, this style of ring is used to celebrate a milestone, such as a silver anniversary. They can also be used as an addition to the other two rings if all styles are suitable.
Proper fit is essential when purchasing a ring, especially one you plan to wear constantly for many years. A metal band can be sized to make sure it will be comfortable. This service is typically included in the purchase price of the ring, but is not expensive if you have heirloom rings you wish to wear. Rings that have gems set all around the band, such as an eternity style, can usually not be sized. Stones would have to be removed for sizing, which can negatively impact the looks of the ring.
When selecting an engagement ring, consider how you plan on wearing it. An elaborate or large ring can be a nuisance over the course of your day. Constant removal can make it easier to forget or lose. These are best reserved for wear on special occasions. If you plan to wear both rings around the clock, you might prefer a smaller setting or stone.
