The engagement ring, this symbol that thrills everyone and that we wave under our girlfriends’ noses as soon as Monsieur puts the ring on our finger. It’s such a joy!
We could almost forget the second emotionally charged ring that we will wear our whole lives: our wedding ring.
And we understand, wedding preparations are so busy that many of you leave it to the last minute for your wedding rings and we would like to avoid this mistake.
Today, we have teamed up with the Guilde des Orfèvres jewelry stores , which offer minimalist wedding rings or rings adorned with a thousand details, all gold or embellished with diamonds, costume or precious, to tell you why you should also take time for your wedding rings and everything you need to be careful of if you leave it to the last minute.
A lifelong alliance
Many brides tell us how much they underestimated the choice of their wedding ring and confide in us that they bought them in haste barely a month before their wedding from the first jeweler who could make them quickly.
They realize a little late that it is very difficult to change their wedding ring once the wedding is over. Because symbolically, the rings exchanged on the wedding day have an irreplaceable symbolic charge .
Not to mention that when you get married in a church, those wedding rings are sacred.
You must therefore choose this wedding ring carefully because it will accompany you every day of your life while being irreplaceable.
An alliance for everyday life
No other piece of jewelry (besides your engagement ring) will last as long as your wedding ring, so parting with it once in a while, like your usual jewelry, won’t be an option.
This wedding band will be on your left ring finger every day of your life! You should give it the same, if not more, attention than you give your wedding dress.
Your alliance must therefore meet precise specifications:
1 / Be resistant to withstand the hazards of everyday life: you must choose a quality ring.
2/ Go with everything, don’t risk getting bored: you must choose a timeless ring and not too “fashionable”.
3/ Make yourself proud day after day: don’t buy it anywhere, the ethical part of the jewelry is important.
So you should take the time to go with your fiancé to look at, compare, and try on wedding rings in the store; you’ll see it’s also a great time to spend together.
Nothing will be worth the time spent projecting yourself into this jewel that will accompany you every day after your wedding.
A ring that stands up to everyday life
If you have to pay the price for a piece of jewelry, it’s this one, you have no idea yet what it will have to withstand on a daily basis.
Yes, you will see, it is a ring that you will very rarely take off for fear of losing it, it will have to withstand the shock like no other jewel that you have in your possession.
You therefore need a very good quality wedding ring that will withstand all your daily actions without flinching.
With your alliance you will: cook, clean (and its corrosive products), do sports, gardening, Koh Lanta? …
We recommend choosing 18-carat gold or platinum and avoiding silver or plated metals, which are less durable and require more maintenance.
Your wedding ring must above all be foolproof.
A ring with a stone will be less discreet, but do you want to be discreet with your wedding band? A piece of jewelry that represents your union, your love, deserves a little extra.
