The wedding ring is a symbol of love and commitment, usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand where the vena amoris(vein of love) runs from the finger to the heart. When it comes to choosing the perfect wedding rings, we can help!

Where it All Began

While wedding jewellery hasn’t always been a ring worn on the ring finger, it has always been a piece of jewellery worn to signify that the wearer is married. This practise has evolved from Ancient Rome and Greece into a more modern day tradition where a wedding band is worn now on the ring finger of the left hand, usually by both parties. Embedded more in Christian tradition, it is a practise that is carried out the world over.

The Modern Day Wedding Ring

Forged from metals such as gold or platinum, modern day wedding rings are often matching and can be set with diamonds or engraved. They can be made from more than one metal and feature intricate designs. It’s not unusual to see tricolour rings which combine yellow, white and rose gold or a combination of two colours of gold. There are so many options that you don’t have to opt for simple plain gold bands, unless this is what you want.

Our Excellent Wedding Ring Service

At The Goldmarket, we have an excellent reputation for providing wedding rings for that special day. Our service extends from helping the happy couple pick the perfect ring from our extensive range of stock to custom designing and creating rings to individual specification. Let’s take a look at some of the options available to you when it comes to choosing wedding rings for your special day:

Custom Made Rings

Do you have a sentimental piece of jewellery that you would like to encompass in your wedding ring? Maybe it’s a family heirloom handed down through generations or perhaps it was a wedding band or engagement ring of a loved one that you lost. The precious metal from this jewellery can be used to form part, or all, of your new wedding band/s.

Diamond Set Wedding Bands

Maybe you would like to have a band set with a diamond or other gemstone such as a birthstone. One, or both, of you may have the desire to have a diamond set into the shank to make it an extra special piece of jewellery. It may be a stone that was set in a relative’s engagement ring that you would like to feature in your wedding band so that it is always close to you. There are many options when it comes to which gemstones you use and where they feature on the ring (either on the outer shank or inside the ring).

Engraved Wedding Rings

We love receiving requests for special messages to be engraved on the inside or outside of wedding bands. Some of them are so creative and romantic. Have you thought about having the latitude and longitude coordinates of where you met, or where you got engaged, engraved inside the ring? Maybe you want to get the date you met or the date you are getting married engraved? You could have each other’s names or dates of birth or a special quote that means something to both of you. There are so many opportunities to have something special engraved on your wedding bands to make it truly unique and special to both of you. Let’s not forget that having the wedding date engraved on the inside of the ring, serves as a constant reminder to those that aren’t very good at remembering anniversaries (you just have to remember to look)!!  We love getting involved in this personal detailing at The Goldmarket, and have vast experience of different languages too; from Latin to Gaelic to Hebrew!
