Quality Gold & Silver Pearl Rings & Jewelry

Wedding rings are one of the oldest and most universal symbols of marriage. For thousands of years, since the time of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, the giving of a ring has been associated with marriage. In fact rings along with other token symbols were often used as a pledge for important agreements and this happened with the important agreement of marriage too.

Marriage rings have been made up of a variety of materials over time, often depending on what people could afford, such as horse hair, leather, wood, iron and silver. But ultimately the gold wedding band has been the best preference, mainly because of its value, purity, rarity and durability

The ring is a perfect circle and this symbolizes eternal love, a love without end, the perfect lasting love of the love that is to be united. The unbroken circle is an age-old symbol of eternity and for marriage, everlasting love. It is also a symbol of the couple’s love and commitment and a token of possession. This doesn’t mean that the man has taken possession of the woman, but symbolizes the woman receiving something precious from her beloved which is hers to treasure. Hence the relevance of using a precious metal, such as gold or platinum and often the inclusion of a diamond or precious gem. The diamond in diamond wedding rings traditionally represents innocence in the bride.

The ring is usually worn on the third finger in line with an ancient tradition which connected the vein line of the third finger straight to the heart where it was thought that love resides. The left hand is a bit closer to the heart than the right, so it became the tradition to have the wedding ring on the left. In some cultures, however, the ring is worn on the right hand because in this case the right hand is associated with righteousness and good conduct.

For many people today wedding rings are a way to publicly announce that they have found an intimate and loving partner that they are committed to sharing the rest of their lives with. Wedding rings symbolize commitment and eternal love
