A
diamond engagement ring is an everlasting symbol of commitment. It
is a token of love; a pledge and a promise to be together forever.
When a diamond engagement ring is proffered and accepted, a man and
woman are betrothed to marry and share a life together. “Will you marry me?” are probably
the most memorable words in a woman’s life; “Yes, I will,” the
most memorable for a man.
Gold jewelry
As the most
special and sacred event in a man or woman’s life,
marriage is a time to celebrate. How better to declare your intentions
than with gold jewelry and diamonds – precious stones and precious
metals that embody the golden sparkle, hopes and dreams of a life
to be shared. It’s no surprise that the diamond, the
hardest gem known to man, is the jewel of choice for courting
couples.
Diamond engagement
rings
Diamond engagement
rings have long been symbols of the contract made between loving
couples since time immemorial to be faithful, loving and true.
Its symbolic meaning or history varies between different cultures
but the circularity of the ring has always been, and remains, a
symbol of endless or eternal love between the couple and an expression
of their union. Crafted with care, gold jewelry is also a lifetime
investment. Originally rings of betrothal were used to represent
partial payment of a dowry, not something we refer to quite so
blatantly in this day and age although probably there is a similar
sentiment in the sense that a man, by offering a gold ring,
makes the depths and extent of his intentions known. Traditionally
the groom-to-be buys the ring and then goes down on his
hands and knees to request the hand of his beloved in marriage.
Following an engagement, the upcoming nuptials become a
public event, and the proud bride-to-be’s
ring will be scrutinized and admired by friends and family
of the lovers.
Selecting the
perfect option from the stunning and varied diamond engagement
rings available today is not an easy task. The solitaire diamond
is a traditional favourite but the marquise and mesonite settings
are also popular. Mesonite has become a more modern alternative
to traditional settings. Another interesting trend is that
diamonds wholesalers are becoming more and more popular for discount
diamond jewelry as courting couples want to get value for their
money. Go
on, make a promise and buy your loved one a beautiful diamond engagement
ring.
