An engagement ring is a difficultly beautiful gold piece of jewelry; it is a clear confirmation of marital status and, most importantly, of tender mutual love. Drawings, inscriptions and patterns applied to it endow the ring with a certain secret, carrying a hidden meaning for the spouses.
Variety of wedding rings
Jewelry stores offer a huge selection of wedding rings of all kinds. They can be made of yellow or white gold, silver or even platinum. The ring can be simple, or it can be decorated with large or small diamonds. In order to make the jewelry unique, it is made by combining gold of different colors, applying patterns and symbols to the surface.
However, this is not enough for modern newlyweds. Many of them believe that as each family is unique and inimitable, so wedding rings should be individual and unlike anyone else. This is easily accomplished by engraving the inside or outside of the ring. The only condition is that the surface must be smooth.
The pattern on the ring affects how the life of the newlyweds will turn out, only if they themselves believe in it.
Drawings on rings
As an engraving on rings, future spouses most often choose some phrase that has a certain meaning for them. Thanks to the application of the inscription, the ring will become an even more personal thing, keeping its secret, known to two lovers. That is why the cherished words are hidden on the inside of the ring, away from prying eyes.
Usually, newlyweds, when choosing an engraving text, stop at drawing their names, the date of their acquaintance or the date of marriage, a well-known phrase in Latin or Russian, or in some expression or word that is close to them.
The engraved ring cannot be rolled out or narrowed if the size does not fit.
Not only text is applied to the rings. The most common design on a wedding ring is a heart, as a symbol of endless love. The image of doves symbolizes loyalty and the strongest affection of lovers to each other. Often, newlyweds choose the initials of the second half, made in a beautiful unusual font, as a drawing for their ringlet. In many couples, it is customary to call each other by gentle affectionate nicknames, for example: kitten, asterisk, bunny. In this case, the engraving with the image of a star or a cute animal on the inside of the ring will be very relevant. An interesting version of the drawing will be musical notes, as a symbol of Mendelssohn's wedding march.
