Couple Jewelry: Show Your Love
December 30th, 2008 | The Fashion Professional | Fashion Advice
A romantic and enduring way to symbolize the union of two people, personalized jewelry is a wonderful option to celebrate commitment to each other. The most commonly thought of personalized couples jewelry are wedding rings, but there are many more options available. New trends and customs have made other forms of couples jewelry almost as popular prior to the wedding.
Today, couples have many choices in rings to celebrate their commitment. Through time, promise rings symbolizing a commitment to engagement and marriage in the future, have been given to women by their intended. Today, giving each other rings that celebrate their commitment has become quite popular. One of the most common types of pre-wedding couples items are name rings that signify their commitment to each other. For couples not wanting rings, pendants or necklaces with their beloved partners names can also be a wonderful option that still allows options for wedding rings and engagement rings at a later date.
Couples jewelry can also include more than just each other’s names on the rings in either relief or engraved fonts. Another option is to use initials in the design of the bands, rings or pendants, along with special dates for the couple or even a special symbol of their commitment. Hearts are one of the more common symbols of love and commitment but so are Celtic love knots, eternity symbols and even using matching gemstones in the rings or pendants.
There are a huge number of options for metals to use in couples jewelry items. The wide variety of precious metal options, including two tone combinations of metals, are suitable for both men and women. Common color combinations are white, yellow and rose gold with the gem colored stones for accent colors. Sterling Silver can be a more affordable option and makes a very striking presentation. While diamonds are often considered the most common couples gemstone, other precious or semi-precious stones can also be used, either in wedding sets, engagement or friendship rings or as accents on necklaces and pendants.
