Wearing wedding bands is part of a long-standing tradition that dates back to the ancient Egyptians, who believed the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the ring finger. Medical science eventually corrected that belief, but the tradition remained. The Romans also eventually adopted this tradition and were the first to engrave their metal rings. It was not until about the 13th century that the Christians used the ring in marriage ceremonies and given a more spiritual look when a bishop dubbed it a “symbol of the union of hearts.” While a matched set of wedding rings values the traditional expression that a couple has become one, many couples also take the non-traditional route today and choose different bands. If the discussion leads you to a stumbling block between traditional matched sets, contemporary or somewhere between, it is important that both of you love the band you’ll wear everyday for a lifetime. Joyeria Jewellery not only offers a variety of classic options but can even custom design wedding bands. If you opt for a matched set, Joyeria Jewellery can scale a particular style to different widths to make it proportionate. Another option is to compromise on complementary rings instead. Joyeria Jewellery offers different options: two bands of different styles but identical metals or different metals but the same style. For instance some brides choose an eternity (or half eternity) ring and the groom wants a simple band, they can then consider wedding rings with the same texture or finish. In the end, only you can decide what wedding band will make you happy. It's up to each of you to celebrate the other's view —whether it's the same or different. A good jeweller like Joyeria Jewellery can guide you through the process and provide options to help you create and see the true beauty of your forever rings.
