Wedding rings symbolize a commitment of everlasting fidelity. Also known as wedding bands and eternal rings, wedding rings embody love till eternity. Historians claim wedding rings were exchanged between the bride and groom in the pre-historic age too but these were made of baked clay, plant twigs, hair or grass shoots. After the discovery of metals, wedding rings were made using a combination of metals and soon silver and gold were being used to make rings. Today, wedding rings are available in all metals precious including sterling silver, gold, white gold, platinum and titanium. Wedding rings can either be a simple band of alloy or can have intricate and unique designs. Most have a solitaire at the centre but some can even have a cluster of tiny diamonds arranged in a certain pattern. Precious stones can also be used to make wedding rings. Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topazes and amethysts are among the common ones.
Women’s wedding rings are elaborately detailed while men’s wedding rings are kept simple and elegant. Most men prefer titanium rings because of its light weight.
