Let's Talk about Engagement, Wedding and Jewelry

"My wedding band arrived yesterday and it looks even better than the pictures! We accidentally got a smaller size and were able to exchange it for the right one easily. So happy with it and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments!" - Letty G. from New York, NY

In the earlier time of the human kind, the most common wedding or union ritual involved an exchange of gifts or property from the groom-to-be to the bride-to-be's parents. This was not only traditional, but a significant element of the marriage contract since the bride's family or behalf was losing her to another lineage forever, and wanted of somewhat compensation for this such as wedding jewelry and fortune. The exchange of vows eventually gave way in the eighteenth century to a courtship whereby a groom chose his bride for reasons of love.

Subsequent era of the arranged marriage or union when the groom would denote the exact payment he offered for his future wife, the formality of a groom asking the bride-to-be's father for her hand in marriage preserves a trace of history and often serves to cement the relationship between the groom to-be and his future father-in-law.

Engagement or union rings dates way back to the earliest days of marriage by purchase when gold rings were circulated as currency. The groom-to-be would offer his bride-to-be a gold ring both as his partial payment and as a symbol of his intentions for marrying.

Brides-to-be in these earlier times wore woven bands made of rush (a flexible marsh plant with hollow stems), and replaced them each year. Roman brides-to-be wore rings made of iron to signify the everlasting, unending bind of matrimony. Throughout Medieval times, grooms-to-be placed the ring on three of the bride's fingers in turn to symbolize the Holy Trinity -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
