| Almost all brides
wear a wedding ring. The choice of styles for wedding rings is virtually limitless.
You may want to shop several jewelers before making your final decision, so start
looking at least six to eight weeks before your wedding date.
If the
bride is wearing an engagement ring, the selection of wedding bands should center
around that ring. She may know exactly what she wants. There may be a ready match
available, or it may be necessary to try on dozens of rings to find the one that
is most suitable. In some instances, the bride's wedding band may have to be custom
made. This is where a reliable jeweler is essential. Let his/her years of experience
and trained eye guide you in your choice .
Where the groom is also going
to wear a wedding ring, many couples think in terms of a matched set. This may
again entail a lengthy search to find the set which pleases both of you, so be
careful not to fix on the word "matched". If the bride's wedding ring is to complement
her engagement ring, there may not be a manly match for the groom. He will have
to find his own style, which pleases him and suits his hand.
One last
pointer. For comfort and safekeeping, make sure you get the correct fit. Day in,
day out, year after loving year, no other piece of apparel can compete with the
hours you wear your wedding rings.
Promise
her anything….but give her a string of pearls. Throughout the ages pearls
have been considered an ideal wedding gift. This gift of love and purity lasts
for a lifetime. Today the choices of colors and sizes can please any bride. A
perfect gift for bridesmaids. |
