Not Your Mother’s Wedding Ring!

If you ask an established local jeweler what the feelings are when someone comes to look for engagement rings here is what we learned.

“It’s nearly inconceivable to imagine an engagement without a ring, and when it comes to engagement rings, it’s inconceivable to imagine picking a ring that the fiancée-to-be doesn’t love with all her heart.” There are thousands of popular engagement rings. What is her taste? Traditional, contemporary, classic, or maybe rustic could be more her style. The engagement ring is part of her personality. It represents the commitment of their love.

What are some of the characteristics of rings? Remember the 4 c’s of diamonds. Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat. Then there is the shape, oval, round, square, pear, diamond, and heart are just to name a few. Does she like silver, gold, platinum? Questions, questions, questions, on one of the most important life decisions to the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

Let’s not forget the groom. His band can be anything from a simple clean band, to matching wedding bands., or engraved with initials maybe. Think of his personality as well. Many grooms like diamonds in their rings, and how beautiful to match your wedding bands perhaps.

There is one tradition that has not changed in engagement rings. It’s the start of an exciting commitment of your love and future life together. The day you put the ring on her finger will be a day she will always remember. Those tears are tears of joy, happiness, and love. As our jeweler told us, for her to “love with all her heart.” That’s what the tears are all about.
