Traditional Gold Wedding Rings
Traditional gold wedding rings are part of the worlds most popular ceremony - the
wedding ceremony. Although every country and culture has
its own set of unique rituals and customs and the symbols used to mark each
occasion vary by culture and country. But one tradition that takes place all over
the world is the wedding ceremony. No matter where the ceremony takes place, traditional
gold wedding rings are usually exchanged.
Gold wedding rings have come to symbolize the joining together of two hearts and
two lives. And couples all over the world spend a lot of time searching for the
perfect wedding rings, usually made of gold. Just so you know, gold can be yellow
gold or can be white gold. It's just a preference that each person can make. The
decision for a gold ring is
not a task to be taken lightly. After all, if all goes well, the wedding rings
will be worn for a lifetime.
Gold wedding rings are as diverse as the couples that wear them. Some couples prefer
diamonds, while others prefer rubies or sapphires. One bride may opt for a solitaire
diamond on a plain white gold band, while another may opt for a yellow gold band
topped with a princess cut emerald. There’s something to appeal to the tastes
of each bride and groom. But, gold wedding rings find a top position in most cases.
Gold wedding rings (both white gold and yellow gold) are very
traditional. They have come in and out of vogue, and are currently the most popular
wedding ring choice. Although silver and platinum wedding rings have grown in
popularity, traditional gold wedding rings are used more often. They are available
in a wide range of styles depending upon the design and the composition of the
gold (a ring can be white gold or yellow gold). For example, you can even choose
to have plain gold wedding rings. Or you can have them inscribed with names, dates,
or other significant information.
The Gold in a Gold Ring
Gold is a soft metal, and generally other metals are mixed in it so that it becomes
much stronger. Depending upon the composition of the gold, gold wedding
rings can be further sub-divided into rings of 10kt to 24kt. However, 24kt weddings
rings are the most expensive, as they are made from pure gold but are not durable
and not popular. Pure gold isn’t
necessarily the most long-lasting gold due to it's softness. As stated above,
gold is a soft metal. That means a ring made from 100 percent gold, is softer
than one mixed with other metals and are almost never made because the metal is
too soft.
14k gold wedding rings, on the other hand, are much more inexpensive, are able
to withstand every day wear and tear and are affordable for most people. Also,
these are normally stronger than pure gold wedding rings because they’re mixed
with metals that increase their strength. But, due to the addition of other metals,
the color of these rings will fade away over a period of time. That is why most
people prefer to buy gold wedding rings and have them rhodium plated to keep
their color.
Gold wedding rings are a marriage tradition that probably will never leave us.
