Unique Gold Wedding Rings
The History of the Wedding Ring But first, a little history. Wedding rings are an ancient symbol of marriage, a token of love between a man and his wife. Wedding rings were already in use as early as the ancient Egyptian era, when they were mostly made of sedges, rushes and reeds which grew near the Nile. In later times, as people sought after different materials that would last longer and not tear so easily, the wedding rings were made of leather, ivory or bone. Next came metal rings which tended to be clumsy and at times uneven, which is why often they were adorned with precious stones to make them worthy to be given as a gift of love. Iron followed and finally gold and silver which in the early days of their use as wedding rings came to show how much the groom trusts his new bride with his valuable possessions. Needless to say, Gold wedding rings are the number one choice today. In Judaism, there is even a law which states that if the bride comes from a place that handmade Gold rings are acceptable for marriage, the groom must not give her a ring of less value such as a silver ring, so as not to offend her. The Shape of the Ring Throughout history, the shape of the ring has almost always been a circular band. The circle represents infinity, everlasting, with no beginning and no end. Such is how a marriage should be. Nonetheless, there were other shapes such as a key shape which symbolized the man giving the wife a key to his property. Also, today there are special kabala wedding rings which are circle on the inside yet square on the outside. This symbolizes the infinity of the marriage on one side and the stability of the home on the other. Jewish Wedding Rings Another form of Gold wedding rings which is growing in popularity is the Jewish wedding rings. These rings are beautifully designed rings which are engraved with various love verses from the bible, mostly from the Song of Songs. The most famous verse used is – Ani L'Dodi V'Dodi Li – which means I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me. This is the reason why these rings are often referred to as Ani L'Dodi rings. These unique rings also make wonderful anniversary gifts or birthday gifts, as they are truly a fantastic way to say how much you love one another.
