Ring the changes...

“With this ring, I thee wed…” the words encapsulate a sense of importance which far surpass the inanimate metal from which your wedding ring was crafted.

Rather than just a symbol, your wedding ring is blessed, and from this point, plays a crucial part in your marriage vows, representing an unbroken ring of love, circuitous and infinite, as well as the exchanging of something precious between bride and groom – unlike houses, cars and clothes, which are changed or replaced throughout your marriage, you’ll only buy a wedding ring once, so really push the boat out and ensure it’s the ring for you.

Your engagement ring should represent an investment of as much as 25% of your annual earnings, but wedding bands tend to be rather simpler and less elaborate. Needless to say these days the choice is mind boggling – with the traditional gold now accompanied by white gold, titanium and platinum for those seeking something different. Likewise, rings with two materials are currently fashionable and matching rings rather than two different designs are popular with brides and grooms seeking real togetherness.

When choosing your ring, ask your jeweller to explain the information given on the hallmark – a standard assay of quality assurance giving the manufacturer’s symbol and a statement as to the purity of the metal from which your ring is made, as well as a datemark for future reference, these are a good way of assessing and assuring the quality of your chosen token of betrothal.

Naturally seeing as many different designs in as many jewellers as possible is important, as it is to ensure that it’s comfortable – the chances are you’ll be wearing it every day for the rest of your life, and a design which constantly snags or is too loose will no doubt mar some of the enjoyment of wearing this symbol of your everlasting love.

Above all, turn the wedding ring choosing experience into an enjoyable one – combine with a romantic lunch and take your time to ensure that the ring you choose is as personal and as beautiful as the relationship itself.
