There are several important parts of getting married, but the most important is choosing a wedding ring/band for you and your partner to enjoy and have the rest of your marriage! Engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was once thought that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart. Some things to keep in mind when your searching for a ring band is the shape and setting of the actual gem. Can you fit your hand in your pocket or is the rock to big? Some couples will decide to incorporate a family heirloom which is super special and meaningful! Second would be sizing of the band, and the comfort level of the metal that may be chosen. Keep in mind of your budget, you shouldn’t go into debt for something sparkly as the jeweler should suggest ways of making it stand out the best way possible! Lastly, a ring (especially custom) can sometimes take up to 6 weeks before it is ready! Make sure you get everything in writing of what you want and costs. There is no right or wrong when choosing a diamond or gemstone, only how you feel about that certain type. In the symbolic language of jewels, a sapphire in a wedding ring means marital happiness. A pearl ring used to be said that it is bad luck, as the shape of a pearl looks like the shape of a tear! That of course is only if you believe such symbolism of the ancient myths and traditions. Here are some helpful charts and photos that has several different cuts of a diamond/jewel and bands to get an idea of what you both might enjoy.
