Wedding & Anniversary Rings Symbolize Eternal, Lasting Love

Sun, November 4th 2007, 08:21 EST

 

Anniversary and wedding bands have always symbolized the lasting love of a couple. Anniversary bands can be a bit different than wedding rings. The former often have small diamonds or colored gems going around the entire ring. Often an anniversary band’s design is chosen so the ring goes well with the original wedding band and engagement ring.

Diamond anniversary rings and eternity rings are usually set with colored gems that encircle the whole ring or a large part of the circumference, as a symbol of eternal love.

When choosing a wedding or anniversary band, it is helpful to keep in mind the same rules as when choosing an engagement ring.

First, it is critical to pay attention to what she likes. What color of metal does she usually wear? White gold? Platinum? If so, do not consider yellow gold settings.

Some jewelry firms believe that platinum is the best choice for wedding and anniversary rings. Platinum can represent to a woman the pure expression of shared love – precious, rare and eternal. For a man, platinum is a resilient metal that only a few men choose to wear. No other precious metal is as good as platinum, according to some experts.

Next, take a look at what type of jewelry she wears. Contemporary? Vintage-looking rings? Or is it classic? The best way to know what she likes is to note what jewelry she wears constantly, not pieces she wears once in a while.

Next, has she noted what jewelry she likes or dislikes? Does she like diamonds? Some women do not. Sapphires and rubies are also worthy of consideration for anniversary bands because of their durability.

Also, consider what looks best on her hand. A wide wedding or anniversary band can make short fingers appear shorter than they are, so think proportion above all else.
 Next, think about her lifestyle. Does she work in a place where flashy rings would be out of place? 

Keeping these ideas in mind when looking for wedding or anniversary rings will make it certain that she will love your choice.
