Avoiding “Uncool” Wedding Rings
There are just some wedding rings that do not say “I love you” with the same ardor as a real diamond.
I can tell you right now what kinds of rings to stay away from. Stay away from any style of ring has the names Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears or Princess Diana attached to them. Millions of people sport these huge rocks as costume jewellery all over the world.
You want to give her something that is unique. Also stay away from the words “cubic zirconia” unless you are fond of the words “you are cheap!”
Another thing to be very careful of his the hand me down ring.
You may or may not be a lucky boy if you have an engagement ring that is a heirloom handed down from your mother or another relative. This means that you can spare yourself the agony of choosing a ring. In general women tend to love vintage style rings and the ring that is passed down from your mother that is..unless.. she absolutely hates your mother.
Not every bride to be is sentimental or wants your grandmother’s old wedding ring. However very often the gold and diamonds in these rings are very expensive. One option is to get this type of ring reset into another more contemporary setting.
If the hand me down ring is not going to please her then it is best to buy her a new one. For one thing you want her to have a ring she is going to like. For another you want to remain on good terms with your mother or grandmother who may not want the vintage setting destroyed.
If you are wondering why this ring thing is so important to her, you have to understand that it is a tradition that goes back as far as the ancient Egyptians. The reason the ring was worn on the fourth finger is that it was thought to be connected to the Vena amoris - the vein that runs directly to the heart. In the Christian tradition, rings were actually worn on the third finger of the left hand until the fourteenth century. The tradition was altered when it became the custom for the priest to first place the ring on the first, second and third fingers while saying “In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost” and then finally ending the marriage ritual it by slipping the ring on the fourth finger.
