Celebrating Romance: Couples Jewelry
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.
Modern couples have several options when it comes to rings to signify their relationship. 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. Initials or monograms can also be placed on rings, pendants, and charms and combined with meaningful dates or words. The ultimate symbol of love, hearts are a very popular choice along with eternity symbols and Celtic love knots.
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.
