Personalized Wedding Rings
Many people feel that personalizing and customizing jewelry makes it more special and more meaningful. Personalizing your wedding bands can be extremely rewarding for both you and your partner. Below you’ll find three popular ways to personalize your wedding band.
Custom Design
Many couples have a special design in mind when they start looking for their wedding band. Most jewelers are happy to work with their clients to produce a custom, personalized wedding band design. For example, I’ve seen couples who spend their lives surfing have wave-like designs detailed on both of their bands. Other couples who have a strong connection to their faith frequently have their wedding bands customized with religious icons or symbols.
Precious Gemstones
Some couples find all the symbolism and personalization they need in precious gemstones. Gemstones can represent all sorts of things including birth months, Zodiac signs, personality traits and emotions. For those who have a special connection to their birthstone, or believe in the healing and strengthening power of different kinds of gems, encrusting a wedding band with precious gemstones can be a terrific way to personalize their rings.
Engraving
To remember a date, a time, a place or a moment, many couples engrave their wedding rings. Some couples choose to engrave their wedding ring with the date that they met, or the place where they got engaged. Others engrave intimate sayings, verses or song lyrics. Most wedding engravings are located on the inside of the ring where it can’t be seen by others, but some choose to engrave the outside of the band as well. Engraving of wedding bands was actually extremely popular in 15th and 16th century Europe and has remained popular to this day.
Some famous personalized wedding bands include the wedding bands of the Duke and Duchess of York, otherwise known as King Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson. They engraved nearly any and every jewelry item they owned. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker also engraved their wedding rings with a romantic French inscription.
