Rings - Unique Ideas about Finding Them

Choosing Rings – Sure, you can go to the jewelers and choose from their limited selection, but here are a couple of suggestions that will add romance to your ring selection…

-          Wear an Heirloom Wedding Band – There’s nothing more beautiful than to accept your grandmother’s wedding band to bless your marriage. Her long marriage was exemplary, and there’s magic in that ring. It’s a great remembrance of your heritage, and her long love for her husband. Also, these bands can be passed down to your granddaughter.

-          Shop Antique Stores – At a fraction of the cost of a new ring, you can find gorgeous, hand-crafted jewelry from days past. Antique artistry holds a lot of wonderful history. Imagine finding a gold or silver band with old world markings; imagine the world the bride lived in, the magic of her life! Now you share that legacy. Of course, any jewelry can be altered by a professional to reflect your size and preferences.

-          Create new wedding/engagement bands from old jewelry – Maybe your grandmother passed down some diamond earrings to you. You can have one of those stones re-set into your new engagement ring, so you carry her blessings your whole life. Also, it’s MUCH less expensive than buying a new diamond engagement ring! If you really want to be unique, find some ancient rings on the internet, print the pictures, mine stones from old jewelry, and find an artist/smith to combine them to make beautiful art!

-          Finally, you can engrave a special message in the ring (Remember “Lord of the Rings”?). Words like “Forever Yours” will always remind you of the love you share. I was smart enough to have my Wedding Date engraved on the inside of mine (August 9)! Every Man should consider this!
