Weddings are a time of joy and happiness. It is the joining of two people as one. These two people are joined together as one and spend the rest of their lives together as a family. Our society is built on this tradition. The tradition of joining two people in marriage has been around for ages and is one of the reasons why the human race has survived so long. The marriage was sealed with an eternity ring. The idea of wedding rings has also been around for quite a while. The material the ring was made from differed according to the objects of value at that time. For example, bronze was the most treasured metal during the Bronze Age and so bronze rings were used when the families could afford it.
Then came the age when the mining of gold had progressed enough that a majority of people could afford gold rings and that became the tradition that has continued for so long. But now that gold has become quite a common object for rings people are looking for different types of rings and new materials for rings. Now the mining and purification of platinum has improved it is being used for platinum wedding rings. Titanium is another rare metal and so this is also used in titanium rings.
The platinum wedding rings are normally used to ‘seal the deal’ in marriages. The platinum rings are exchanged during the wedding ceremony. The gold and diamond rings are used to propose marriage and those rings are known as the engagement rings. Eternity rings are exchanged during wedding anniversaries as a renewal of the promise made during the wedding. Titanium rings are normally meant for men but they are also available in designs for women. Gems like diamonds are used to adorn the platinum wedding rings. You can decide on different color gemstones to give the ring the look you want. You can decide to use the favorite color or the birthstone of your loved one. You can also get an inscription on the inside of the ring. As far as inscriptions go you can have a small dedication or an excerpt from a poem or an important date inscribed. The rings that are now available in the market are completely different and new in design. The choice you have is great so don’t go to just one shop and pick from there. Shop around until you find the perfect ring.
