It has been customary, ever since we were young, that married couples shall wear rings on their left ring fingers in order to show everyone they are married and to embrace their union. Diamond wedding bands are no new thing. They have been around for quite some time. With time, these rings have gotten more lavish and creative. Some of the most truly stunning pieces of jewelry ever created were bridal rings. It is understandable that women everywhere would love to have a stunning collection of diamond rings to wear for every occasion! Women cannot help it. They just love diamonds.
It was once thought long ago that the diamond wedding rings were worn on the left ring finger because there was a vein in that particular finger. This vein was initially thought to run from the very tip of your finger directly to your heart. Since marriage is about love and your heart is where you store that love, the symbolic gesture and the background story has been established. However, it was later discovered there was no such vein, but the tradition still holds strong.
Eternity bands are very ornate in that the diamonds along the edge of the band go all the way around. Instead of just having a semi-circle of diamonds with the bottom of the band plain metal, eternity rings are adorned all the way around with diamonds! This is every woman's dream, right? However, if you are a woman who works with her hands a lot, then you may find this particular style of ring gets in the way of your daily activities. Diamond wedding rings are so different, there is no right or wrong design - it's whatever you prefer.
If you want to buy your ring together in a bridal set, you can do that, too. Some women are very picky about both of the rings matching perfectly. If they are not specifically made to be worn together, there could be a dreaded gap between your wedding ring and engagement ring that could be interpreted as unsightly. Plus, for the man, it could mean knocking out two birds with one stone. Then he has one big ticket item to buy and he will be done buying jewelry for a while. Until his first wedding anniversary, he will be off the hook. However, it is not advised to go long periods of time without buying your lady jewelry.
