HISTORY- SYMBOLISE UNITY AND UNDYING LOVE: |
|||
The wedding ring is the most important symbol of all the jewellery worn from ancient time right through till modern times today. This ring is the most important ring you will own. It symbolizes a unity between a man and a woman for life. By placing the rings on each other’s fingers it confirms a commitment to one other. The wedding band has the longest lasting value, yet is the relativity one of the least expensive items purchased for a wedding. Long after the big day it is the one physical token that remains with the lovers. |

Today everything from a plain band to a band set with stones are used, but traditionally it was a solid half rounded ring. Wedding rings are traditionally plain and styled for comfort, they were fairly heavily, made to last a life time. The ancient Egyptians were among the first to use the ring as a symbol of marriage. It served as a constant reminder to the permanency of marriage and also as a means to ensure it. Antique wedding bands are a truly wonderful thing to wear not only have they stood the test of time but are an original symbol of the meaning of love. |
