A wedding is a great symbol of a couples love for one another but when the day is over wedding rings are a symbol that will continue with a couple to their graves.
Some men prefer not to have a wedding band but many do wanting to carry this symbol with them at all times. Many couples will choose matching rings, although a female’s ring may also be designed to fit with their engagement ring.
Wedding rings with stones on are rare in American culture but not unheard of and men often choose signet rings with a stone such as Onyx in.
Bands though, with a wider band for the male and thinner for the female, are more popular in recent years; usually in gold or white gold but also in platinum, silver, rose gold or a mixture of metals.
A couple may choose to have plain bands either with rounded or straight edges they may choose matching patterns though.
Patterns are often designed with interweaving lines, often with a Celtic influence, or with interwoven engravings of leaves or other nature this represents the interweaving of the couples lives and the continuous pattern around the band signifies their eternal love. Engravings on the inside may often include text chosen by the couple.
