Diamond dolphin engagement rings have traditionally been commonly chosen by trendy young couples getting married for the first time, but there is a surprising new trend for buying diamond dolphin engagement rings by older couples entering second marriages; surprising, because a diamond dolphin engagement ring is not the traditional choice for an engagement ring. Perhaps that’s why; after a divorce, people may find tradition failed them in some way.
A diamond dolphin engagement ring
The dolphin, like the sea where it lives, has always been a symbol of beauty, serenity, intelligence, grace, healing and endless love. Eastern cultures, mariners and new age therapists believe in the power of dolphin energy and that seeing or touching a dolphin is lucky. Stories of people with disabilities being healed – dolphin therapy – are not new, and shipwrecked sailors have told tales of being saved from sharks by dolphins. Because scientists still don’t completely understand and can’t explain dolphin behavior, their so-called powers, because inexplicable, has perhaps been given a little too much mystical significance.
Selecting a dolphin jewelry
You need to be very careful in choosing a dolphin engagement ring as it’s not a classic betrothal ring and it’s not as good an investment as a simpler ring style. (A traditional betrothal ring would be a diamond solitaire or other single precious or semi-precious gemstone.) Also, years down the line you may find that you prefer the symbolism inherent in an eagle or a lion or that a dolphin ring is more suitable for a wide-eyed hippy on her wedding day than a long-married woman with three children. Consider buying instead a dolphin promise ring or other dolphin jewelry that you can keep and cherish forever but that you won’t necessarily wear every day.
If you still decide you want a dolphin engagement ring, talk to your diamond jewelers about settings and diamond alternatives, for instance, moissanite, which is not as expensive as diamonds and white gold instead of platinum for the mounting. Incidentally, dolphin promise rings make perfect engagement gifts for gents.
Controversy aside, as alternative symbols of love, you can’t go wrong with diamond dolphin engagement rings.
