Unique Wedding Bands For Women Are Popular

By Antoinette Quinn


From the times of the ancient Egyptians rings have been worn as a seal of a marriage. The ones they wore were made of braided and twisted reeds and rushes. In Roman times, they were made of iron and rather than symbolizing love, they were worn to signify ownership. Gradually the materials used for making them changed until the use of metals like gold transformed their appearance. Today many unique wedding bands for women may be purchased.

Ancient people saw the circle, with no beginning and no end, as a symbol of eternity and it is still seen in this way. Traditionally the groom would choose the ring but now most couples choose it together and this is often an extremely significant decision for both bride and groom. Some couples choose rings with intertwining metals to symbolize their eternal togetherness. Others choose to engrave the inside of the ring with a message of love.

The Egyptians believed that there was a vein which ran directly from the finger on the left hand up the arm and to the heart. This lead to them wearing their rings on this hand. While this was a beautiful idea it was obviously medically untrue. Today many women still wear the band on this finger although they may not know where this idea originated.

Styles of rings used to seal a marriage have varied considerably during different time periods. Intricately interwoven puzzle rings have always served as a very unique style of ring over the years. Sterling silver poesy rings with etchings became popular during the Renaissance. The styles available today vary considerably from simple traditional designs to those that are more edgy and contemporary.

As mining techniques improved and the world economy changed, gold became the most common metal for a band. A gold band is still a popular choice. However, those available today come with a multitude of different borders and finishes which give them individuality. Rose gold is more popular today than it has been in years.

Silver is always popular because it offers good quality at an affordable price. Platinum is a stylish option chosen for its durability and stunning shine. Increasingly, couples are choosing to go for a touch of color by using sapphires, rubies or colored diamonds on a thin ring.

Price is always an important consideration for a young couple. They often have a limited budget and yet do not want to settle for something second best. Shopping at online stores offers an opportunity for them to examine a very wide selection of styles and compare prices.

With the selection of unique wedding bands for women, it is possible for every bride to find exactly what she wants. This is important as she will wear it on a daily basis for the rest of her married life. She needs to find a band that she feel expresses her personal style best instead of just following the latest trends.
