The History of Women's Wedding Rings
One of the earliest recorded societies to use wedding bands were the ancient Egyptians. Rings offered an accessory representing the eternal: a perfect circle with no beginning or end. After Alexander the Great overtook Egypt, the Greeks adopted the tradition of exchanging rings as symbols of love with depictions of Eros, the god of love, and inscriptions added to the ring’s romantic significance. The Romans cemented the tradition by exchanging copper or iron rings during marriage ceremonies and placing the rings on the second to last finger of the left hand. This finger was believed to contain the “vein of love” or “vena amoris” which flowed directly to one’s heart. At this time, gold wedding bands were luxurious objects only available to the wealthiest classes of society.
Popular Metals for Vintage Wedding Rings
In the 1930s, platinum wedding bands for women were set with round and square diamonds, as well as alternating sapphires and diamonds. The fashionable trend for a rose gold wedding band includes plain bands and wishbone wedding rings with gemstones whilst white gold wedding rings are made from an alloy of yellow gold and palladium before being rhodium plated for a white finish. Clients tend to select a wedding ring to match the metal of their engagement ring or complete stack their rings with different metal colours to match with their other jewellery pieces.
Diamond Wedding Rings
With their incredible hardness, diamonds have long been symbols of strength and longevity, with the first recorded diamond wedding ring dating to the 15th century. Queen Victoria’s penchant for diamonds increased their popularity as the primary stone for wedding rings throughout the 19th century. Today, diamond wedding rings are commonly worn by both men and women alike. A potent symbol of everlasting love, they remain the quintessential choice for those seeking a blend of classic and unique wedding rings for women, known for their unmatched brilliance and adaptability. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer bold designs or understated sparkle, diamonds offer the ideal choice for adorning your wedding band.
