Stylish and beautiful wedding rings
Shells and animals’ teeth were some of the first materials to be worn as body jewellery which was used as a symbol of wealth and status as well as to protect people against harm, ward off evil and heal ailments. A round shape is thought to be protective, almost magical, and as a continuous band it is supposed to keep out anything negative, therefore a great source of strength. The symbolic meaning of the ring is a complete circle with no beginning and no end and signifies that love should be the same, everlasting with no ending. It was believed that the reason for wearing this type of jewellery on the third finger of the left hand was that the vein in that finger leads directly to the centre of the heart. Wedding rings can be made out of titanium, a very hard wearing metal, gold or silver for both men and women and are usually handcrafted by the highest quality of workmanship. Modern, unusual designs are gaining popularity instead of the plain gold band and make a unique alternative. Among the many designs are intricate patterns such as twisted, lattice or engraved, with the couples’ names and the date of their wedding, all usually having amazing finishes. They can be tailor made to suit you and your personality and you can have the choice of having precious stones, ranging from diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or rubies to name but a few, set into the band to make the piece extra special.

Care should be taken when choosing wedding rings as they are usually worn permanently, so they should be durable and hardwearing to suit the style of the engagement ring. Both pieces can be bought as a matching set and if the groom-to-be wishes to wear a ring, all three items may be offered at a discounted price by a reputable jeweller. It is also important to consider your lifestyle and if you are a sporty person or use your hands for manual labour and do not want to scuff or damage the ring, an embedded precious stone will be the best choice, conversely, if you have a more sedentary lifestyle and wish to flaunt a beautiful diamond, have it set high on the band. Celtic designs can be special and beautiful and you don’t have to be Irish to wear them!

They can be made in either gold or silver and it is very important that you choose the correct size as they cannot be altered due to the intricacy of the pattern.
