Wedding rings are a symbol of love and commitment between two people. They’re also the physical reminder that every choice, action and word you make will impact your spouse. That’s why it’s so important to take this piece of jewelry seriously. Here are three things you should know about your wedding ring that might make it more meaningful.
#1: Traditionally, wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This tradition dates all the way back to the Egyptians who believed that this finger had a vein that led directly to the heart (the Vena Amoris). This is why a wedding ring is so special; it’s a reminder of your forever connection.
#2: There are many different ways to wear your wedding ring. Some people like to wear their ring stacked with their engagement ring while others prefer to have their ring on its own. It all comes down to personal preference and how comfortable you feel wearing a ring. If you prefer to wear your ring on its own, try choosing a ring with a unique design or shape. Mobius band-shaped rings, for example, are a great option because they’re symbolic of infinity and unity. Another cool option is to have your partner’s birthstone set in your ring. This will keep them close to your heart at all times!
In addition, some people choose to have their ring engraved with a message, date or quote that holds meaning to them. This is a great way to create a custom ring that’s truly unique. If you’re looking to get creative, you can even choose to have a piece of wood or fabric incorporated into your ring.
#3: A simple band is still rich in meaning. Many people think that their wedding ring needs to have diamonds or lots of fancy detailing but in reality, a simple band is just as rich in meaning. In fact, some of the rings I’ve made in my workshop have only been one solid piece of gold without any stones because that’s how I want to represent my marriage – simple and uncomplicated.
Regardless of what style you go for, your wedding ring is a beautiful and thoughtful reminder that your marriage is something to be valued. It’s a constant reminder that your marriage is connected to everything you do, and a daily affirmation that you’re “one” together. So wear your ring with pride and always remember to cherish and respect it! If you’re ready to find your perfect ring, come visit Trond and Anna at their Queenstown shop!
