The Rings Are An Important Symbolic Pieces Of Jewelry
by Mike Selvon
plug itMost couples who are in the midst of making all of the plans and arrangements for their upcoming wedding will have "the rings" on their priority list of things they must do. The wedding rings that they choose will become a significant symbol of their love and commitment to each other. For most couples, they will be worn with pride, dignity and honor for many years to come.
There is a long tradition of the bride and groom exchanging matching bridal rings on their special day and that tradition is still strong today. In fact, for some couples, choosing rings is something they feel so strongly about that many other decisions regarding the impending nuptials are set aside until these important pieces of fine jewelry, which they will wear throughout their marriage, are chosen.
When a couple exchanges the rings, they are sharing something that is even more significant than a commitment to their relationship. A circle is a unique shape, in that it is considered to be "an eternal round" because there is not an identifiable beginning or ending. Many couples embrace this symbolism of eternal love that is expressed through the circle of the wedding band.
For those who are lucky enough to find their soul-mates and enter into marriage, they feel as if they have known the other person forever and have always loved them. Because of such deep and strong sentiments, the exchange of rings becomes even more meaningful when taken in the context of exemplifying a love which is endless.
In addition to being so deeply symbolic, rings are also a way for the couple to display their unique tastes and personalities. When choosing, it is always best to select the styles, patterns, precious metals and any design elements that best reflect the couple and their preferences. One wonderful way to be sure the wedding rings truly match the uniqueness of the couple is to use the services of a ring designer who can take the input from the couple and design a diamond engagement ring and matching wedding bands that are completely individualized.
When this is done, the couple then has rings that are truly their own and which reflect an even greater degree of unity between them because of the custom nature of their fine wedding rings. Knowing that no one else in the world will be wearing the same wedding set can make the couple feel even more special as they walk hand in hand through life together.
Custom-made wedding rings are not realistic for every couple, not only because of the extra cost involved but also because of the time that must be allowed for the design and the custom creation of the rings. For the vast majority of newlyweds, there are more than enough choices of wedding rings in the jewelry store nearest them to find just the right style and pattern.

Choosing And Caring For Garnet Rings : ring jewelry store
Choosing And Caring For Garnet Rings
by Lee Dobbins
plug itGarnet ring stones have always been a popular choice due to the common belief that the stones have special healing and protective powers. People of the Middle Ages believed in the power of charms and soldiers, such as the Crusaders, would carry garnets called "carbunkles" as a protection against harm. Gorgeous red garnets are said to be helpful to both the pulmonary system and to protect travelers.
Garnet rings, be it a single stone or multi-stone setting, are just one of the many types of jewelry featuring the timeless beauty of garnets. If you are out looking for garnet jewelry, remember you can get a good deal while shopping for jewelry with a keen eye and common sense.
If you are going shopping for a ring, be ready to visual inspect every ring in great detail. Inspect it at every angle possible. Make sure you examine it for things like inclusions, color defects and cutting defects. Any defects found in the gemstone can decrease its value. You need to be observant, checking carefully for any possible defects if you wish to buy a deep-discount ring.
When looking for garnet rings, it's best to see many angles and close up photos if you are shopping online. Before finalizing your purchase, make sure the merchant is reliable and can provide either an appraisal or a guarantee. Many online stores are less expensive, but be sure that they're providing a quality product.
Your garnet stone will need some care in order for the ring to stay in great condition. You should put your ring on after getting dressed to avoid the harshness of perfumes, soaps, and chemicals that could damage your ring. Avoid rough handling of the stone while cleaning. Scratches to your ring can be prevented by simply keeping it separated from other jewelry.
Anyone can see that the beauty and variety of garnet rings are the reason that they have been so widely admired over the years. The familiar deep-red color of Bohemian garnets is the most popular, but garnets are also available in other colors. Pink, orange, purple, black, brown, yellow, violet and clear are some of the colors garnets are available in. During your next shopping trip, make sure to pick the color perfect for you.

Tips On Choosing a Wedding Ring
Tips On Choosing a Wedding Ring
by Claire Tourneyplug it
Young couples who plan to marry should spend some quality time when it comes to choosing their wedding rings; remember these are the rings you will wear for the rest of your life, you will want them to be perfect for you and your partner. The rings are an indication of shared love and should show this, so it's important put some time and research into choosing a wedding ring.You can search for a wedding ring by various methods, a visit to a jeweler will help you to see the metals and styles generally available but if possible avoid one of the jewelry chains situated in shopping malls everywhere as it is unlikely anything unique will be found there. Another choice is online shopping and you will find a much wider selection and probably save some money too. Be sure you do not buy a wedding ring that is more elaborate than the engagement ring; it may seem like more work but it should be possible to find rings that compliment one another. To achieve this, the easiest method is to place both the wedding band and engagement ring side by side if it is not possible to try the ring on because the size needs adjusting. You can be pretty sure too that if you choose a plain simple band that it will complement most any type of engagement ring. If however you would prefer a more unique wedding ring a specialty jeweler is recommended. You may perhaps even want to design your own rings. This would be the most costly option and something to consider when deciding on the budget for your wedding rings. Another option for finding a unique ring is to consider buying a vintage or antique ring. Antique rings are wonderful reminders of the beauty of bygone days and if you and your fiancé already have a passion for collecting and using antiques then this may be the perfect solution for you.Although some metals are fashionable for a while, including: (1) Silver, (2) White Gold, (3) Yellow Gold and (4) Titanium; durability is an issue and that is why platinum is becoming so popular. Platinum is the most expensive of the metals of course, and the budget is almost always a contributing factor in the purchase of your wedding ring but of the two partners, it is the man who will appreciate a platinum ring's durability more. The number of men doing manual tasks is still greater than women; and they are the ones most likely to cause damage to their ring.A simple but necessary part of the process is to check finger size so the wedding ring fits correctly; after all the expense involved, you need the rings to fit correctly! If the ring doesn't seem to fit right take it to a professional jeweler for sizing, this will prevent it from being too tight or too loose and slipping off.If you want to make sure your rings are ready in plenty of time for the wedding, give your jeweler enough time to complete any adjustments; he may have a number of customers rings to be sized and you do not want a problem on the wedding day. There is a huge variety of wedding bands available these days; choosing the right one can take quite some time and a number of visits to the jeweler or online shopping sites. However, the most important aspect to remember when choosing a wedding ring is that its purpose is to show the love that two people have for one another; there isn't a stronger symbol of the love two people share.

Diamond Gifts For That Special Woman In Your Life
Diamond Gifts For That Special Woman In Your Life
by Gabriel Adams
plug itHave you ever seen what diamonds look like before they end up all shiny in a jewelry store? If you have, I am sure that you find it as amazing as I do. Who would ever guess that underneath all that darkness there would be such a beautiful stone!
Have you ever heard of a person being called a "diamond in the rough"? Just as it takes a lot of work and faith to see the diamond in a person, it takes a great craftsman to clean and cut a diamond to make it truly a work of art.
When we go to a jewelry store to choose a diamond, we aren't thinking about what that diamond looked like before it got there. As we go down the rows of diamonds on display, we are just in awe at how beautiful they are. How those diamonds do sparkle sitting in the case under the lights!
Although there are many men who appreciate diamonds, there is a reason why people say that diamonds are the way to a woman's heart. There is nothing that says "I love you" like giving diamonds to that special woman in your life!
It doesn't matter whether you are giving her a diamond for your engagement, wedding anniversary, her birthday, a holiday or just because you want to express how special she is to you. When you ask her to marry you, most likely you will give her an engagement ring with diamonds in it.
Has she ever mentioned how she saw this beautiful diamond on a television commercial that had a princess cut? Keep that in mind when you go shopping for a gift for her. Although princess cut diamonds are a little pricier than a plain round cut, they are definitely worth it! How they pick up the light!
There are even diamond rings that also have pearls included. If her birthday is in April, you could give her a ring like that. You would be right on target since both stones are special for that month. She definitely will be eager to show you her appreciation for your thoughtfulness!
However, you may choose a diamond necklace for her birthday. As a special gift for your wedding anniversary, you may decide to get her a diamond bracelet to match. For instance, if you are going to be celebrating your 10th anniversary, you might choose something that has ten diamonds.
Don't forget about Valentine's Day! You could buy her a lovely diamond that is in the shape of a heart. No woman could resist a man who gave her a gift like that. You would definitely win her heart when she opens that present! To make that special day even better, you could take her out for a special candlelight dinner and surprise her with this special diamond during the meal.
You may feel that you aren't good at knowing how to express your affection in words. There is no doubt that any gift that includes diamonds will definitely speak louder than any words you could have spoken! Just be prepared for all those hugs and kisses that you will be receiving once she has seen your gift of diamonds!

His and Hers Promise Rings
His and Hers Promise Rings
by Ian Maher
plug itA promise ring is a symbol of love and commitment made from one person to another. It traditionally is given during dating when the relationship turns more serious. When you give a promise ring, you are promising to be faithful and to love the recipient forever. Generally a promise ring is given as a precursor to an engagement ring. It symbolizes sort of a trial period before engagement, but can mean something far more romantic.
When you give a promise ring, it is up to you to come up with its true meaning. This can vary from person to person as much as relationships can vary from couple to couple. You may have helped your loved one through a personal hardship and your promise ring could symbolize your devotion towards being there when your partner needs you. It could simply be a romantic gift symbolizing the next level of your relationship. No matter what the individual meaning of the promise ring is, it is taken very seriously and should strengthen the bond between two people.
Promise rings are not necessarily meant just for women. The current trend is for the woman to also give the gift of a promise ring to a man. Men have historically been left out of the ring-receiving game until their wedding day. Now that it is much more common for men to accessorize with rings, whether it is costume jewelry, right hand rings or promise rings, the act of giving a promise ring to your male mate can make a unique and powerful impact on a man. Men appreciate being noticed and appreciated as much as women and there is no reason to leave him out of this special occasion. If he gives you a promise ring, he is no doubt proud of you and wants to spend his life with you. Return the favor and surprise him by doing the same.
Promise rings do not have to be fancy or expensive. Many people that give promise rings do it because they are ready to commit for life, but can not yet afford the engagement ring that they believe their lady deserves. When shopping for promise rings, there are a few guidelines that you should adhere to in order to adhere to the tradition.
First, the promise ring that you choose should be made of a precious metal, such as silver, gold or platinum. These types of metals will not turn, should not cause an allergic reaction, and should last for years and years. The second tradition to adhere to is that the ring be one solid circle. Adjustable rings just do not mean the same thing. A continuous circle represents the circle of life or the unending love and affection that you are aiming to embody.
It is also traditional to give someone a promise ring with small stones. Birthstones are very popular choices, but you can also leave this decision up to your imagination. Rubies can represent the red fire love that you feel towards your partner. Sapphires can symbolize that you always will be true blue towards your mate. Emeralds can correspond with how your special someone makes you feel rich and prosperous, despite the fact that you may not be rich by some people's standards.
Giving promise rings to each other makes a bold statement to your friends and family letting them know that you are seriously in love. More importantly, it tells the recipient that you are dedicated to them and appreciate where you are in the relationship.

Fashion Jewelry Trends For Spring 2008-5 Ways To Make Your Jewelry "Pop"
Fashion Jewelry Trends For Spring 2008-5 Ways To Make Your Jewelry "Pop"
by Julia White
plug itThe Spring 2008 fashion jewelry trends are all about "pop". Wondering what to wear with your trendy neon shirtdress or bold black and white safari print skirt? Don't be afraid to continue the trend with a pop of color and style in your jewelry. The following are the top five ways to pop up your style this season.
#1 Compliment Your Color Palette: Bright colors are in this Spring. From fluorescent yellow to neon green, Spring 2008 fashion has put a sophisticated twist on the colors made popular in the 80's. But, don't break out your old lace gloves and rubber bracelets just yet. The modern "Material Girl" knows this Spring's fashion jewelry trends are all about complimenting the outfit not overpowering it.
#2 Know When Less Color Is More: When wearing a solid bright color, pick jewelry in more minimal colors. For example, wear a soft orange colored pair of earrings with your neon orange dress. Gold and silver tones are also great to do this. Add a pop of style with the size of the jewelry pieces you choose. Add a chunky bracelet, a large fleur-de-lis necklace, or big hoop earrings.
#3 Pop Not Peacock: Multicolored prints are also in this year. It is not necessary to represent every color of your outfit in the jewelry you wear. Instead, choose jewelry that pulls out one color from the print. It is recommended that you pick a color that is less prevalent. This technique is a subtle way to draw the eye to both your outfit and your accessories.
#4 The Little Black Dress With A Kick: Black and white is considered the "new black" this season. Don't make a mistake and think that you can only wear black and white accessories. After all, you don't want to look like you stepped out of an old black and white movie. Add a pop to your look with brightly colored accessories. It's amazing how a thick red bangle, a yellow choker, or a bright blue (yes, I said blue) pair of earrings can bring depth to a monochrome outfit. The trick is to pick one bright color and wear it sparingly. This fashion jewelry trend is fun and glamorous.
#5 Don't Go Overboard: It is possible that you may find a great chunky jewelry set with a necklace, earrings, ring and bracelet. Although you may love all four pieces, try not to wear them all at once. Instead, pick one or two (depending on the size) jewelry pieces that will bring attention to your or your outfit's best feature. If you are wearing a sleeveless halter dress, stack on the bracelets or a ring. Want to add emphasis to your neckline, put on a necklace.
Mixing and matching pieces is fine. Just make sure you don't go overboard with the same size, color, or style. Wearing too much pop can turn you from a fashion jewelry trend setting diva, to grandma with each extra item you put on. Remember, the goal is to compliment your new Spring look, not distract from it.

Wearing too much pop can turn you from a fashion jewelry trend setting diva, to grandma with each extra item you put on. Remember, the goal is to compliment your new Spring look, not distract from it.
