Despite the fact that many people are speaking against marriage, weddings keep being celebrated all around the world, losing none of their charm and magic. They’re big events where everyone dresses their best and the bride and the groom prepare a ceremony for months.
Like any big celebration, weddings make people wear their best jewelry. However, there are two pieces of jewelry involved in weddings that aren’t there just for decoration. They are very powerful symbols of love and union.
The first one is the engagement ring, which, as every woman knows, is the one that the future groom gives the future bride when he proposes to her. In fact, the delivery of the engagement ring is one of the most magical moments in a woman’s life.
In addition to the engagement ring, there is also the wedding band. Although not as exiting as the engagement ring, it’s still important as it symbolizes the promise of eternal love, as well as the values of fidelity and unconditional support. Both the groom and the bride wear wedding bands for the duration of their marriage, although they don’t have to match.
After the wedding, the wife wears both rings in the same finger. However, sometimes, they don’t fit as well together, mostly because of the rock that the engagement ring has. If this is the case, there’s a big gap between both rings that breaks the harmony.
For these reason, a lot of jewelers produced notched wedding bands. Notched wedding bands have a small niche that negotiates the bump the engagement ring rock makes while allowing both rings to be next to each other.
Notched wedding bands can also be customized to match their engagement rings better. Since engagement rings are received much sooner, they can be taken to a jeweler to make notched wedding bands that fit the exact size of the engagement rings. Another good option is to decorate notched wedding bands in a way that is similar to the engagement rings. For example, the curve in the notched wedding bands can have very small diamonds or gems engraved that match the diamonds or gems on the engagement rings. In addition, notched wedding bands can have different colors or materials, but still, in a way that they match the engagement rings’ style. Just remember that making customized notched wedding bands can take a lot of time, so it’s better to take your engagement ring to the jeweler as soon as possible, in order to have plenty of time to see your options, consider them, select one and have the job done in time before the wedding.
