The Beauty And History Of Gold Wedding Rings

There are many of old wives' tales about gold wedding rings

. Some of it can be attributed to the old wives, some can be traced down through history to be true! As an example, the ruby gold rings that were worn by many of the military men in World War II.

They say that the reason that men did not wear a wedding ring before this time is that jewelry was reserved for the women. Men decorated their pocket watches, however, they did not feel the need to put a ring on their finger that could be caught in bulky machinery, and it was said to be "feminine" anyway. Enter the gold wedding rings!

The women wanted the men going off to war to remember that they had loved ones back home, so the rings were "attached" to their men as a sign of: "off the market!". The ruby part of that was that, during the war, the lighter colored metals that were alloyed with the raw gold was unavailable, so the darker, less attractive ruby gold wedding rings were the norm for this purpose.

White gold is the norm for most of the buying public to show their love for each other in a wedding ceremony. This color of gold was used by the Ancient Egyptians and it has been around for at least 5000 years. The modern version of the reason that white gold is the best is that there is a vein in the ring hand extending from the ring finger to the heart. This is called, in Latin, "The Vein of Love". The white gold wedding rings are said to have a particular power to travel this vein and to always be near the source of that returned love.

When looking for a wedding ring for your loved one, the best way to do this is to take him/her with you! (listen up guys!) That is the best way to truly know what it is they will want to wear for the rest of their lives. If you want it to be a surprise, you need to ensure that you know what their desires are. Ask them questions! Find what type of rings they like and to look at the pictures they are looking at to determine this. You can find a way to do this.

You will need to find out what color of gold will be the best for them. You will look at many different colors, or you might actually call them shades, but they really are different colors. White, ruby, black these are all different colors and you need to take a good look at each of them with the right lighting to see which is which. The setting is what holds the stone. Determine what type of stone you are wanting, remember, for a wedding, it is a diamond! The white gold will show off a diamond the best because it does "lend" any color to the stone!

The beauty of any of the gold wedding rings represents the love you are giving to the other person, so make it a good one!
