Ever since the 15th century when the first diamond engagement ring was given to Mary of Burgundy by her fiancŽ Archduke Maximilian of Austria, diamonds have been associated with weddings. But it took another five centuries before new deposits in Africa and improved cutting techniques put these gems within the reach of most people.
Which brings us to the rings themselves. Ask yourself if youÕd like to purchase them already completed (or partly so), or would you rather have them designed specifically for you? Custom made jewelry may sound challenging to someone whoÕs never done it before, but itÕs easier than you may think. Advantages include not having to spend time in different stores searching for the rings you want (and possibly needing to settle for something different). Also, thereÕs no price you can put on the difference you can see in a custom made ring, where extra care was put into designing and creating it, one ring at a time. If it truly is custom made, it will be one-of-a-kind, and youÕll usually be able to see a wax model carved for your approval before itÕs converted into precious metal. Again, make sure your jeweler will give you a guarantee on their work.
Wedding jewelry can also include gifts for members of the wedding party, sometimes family members, as well as the bride and groom. We can offer you many ideas here for lasting memories of the day. |
