The practice of giving & wearing a wedding ring such as the Faceted Ring dates back thousands of years. A wedding ring like the Faceted Wedding Ring represents fidelity and love between two people and are given on the day of a couple joining forces.

Before the time that the skill of how to work metal became widely known, people used such things as plants, grass and even hair to ‘tie the knot’, which is what I think the Diamond Carved Ring stands for. The ancient symbol of the ouroboros, the serpent which consumes its own tail, was a theme used for rings made of iron in Rome.

Women’s marriage rings often hold a diamond, although other styles are rapidly becoming more prevalent. There are many distinctive styles of rings, but the most popular for men is definitely the plain gold band.

These patterns are suggestive of tendrils and vines. A man might want a more ostentatious marital ring, because it is often the only piece of jewellery that a man wears.

Those with an Irish heritage find the Celtic design particularly appealing but those from all ethnic backgrounds have selected these beautiful designs for their wedding ring pattern. It is essential for men’s rings to be made from a robust metal.

Most men do physical labour of one sort or another, even if it is only gardening, so it is a lot to ask of a pure gold ring to last thirty or forty years. Tungsten or titanium are much harder!

In most countries tradition dictates that people wear their wedding ring on their left hand, although in a couple of countries such as Germany, Russia & Norway, people wear their wedding ring on the right hand. Some chose birthstones or other symbolic gems to make the ring more unique.

You can also add colour to your ring by mixing metals or by treating gold surfaces with a hot torch to produce different shades of gold and silver. Braided wedding bands are also a unique choice for wedding rings for couples.

You can find wedding ring designs with braided metals in a single colour, two colours or three colours. I have done that & it is not a lot more expensive than a stock band.

Wearing interesting faceted tungsten wedding rings is a remarkable experience. People see that your ring is ‘something different’ & many people ask, where you got them from.
