Jewelry is not just simple accessories, especially when it comes to wedding jewelry. A true emotional heritage, these pieces of jewelry can be passed down from generation to generation within your family. Is your wedding approaching and you want to choose a piece of jewelry that will last over the decades? Celinni assists you in choosing this symbolic accessory for your wedding.
The symbolism of jewelry in weddings
The engagement ring and the wedding bands are the main pieces of jewelry chosen when one wishes to get married, but what is their symbolism? It is important to understand this impact to know their emotional significance for future generations.
The engagement ring, a proof of love and a promise of commitment
Before the big day, you will propose to your beloved. This proposal should reflect your love and desire for commitment. The engagement ring, often adorned with a diamond, is not chosen randomly.
The diamond is a sparkling stone, symbol of beauty, purity, and eternal love. It is especially the most resistant precious stone you can choose. Thus, it also represents durability and strength.
Eternal love with wedding bands
The wedding band is the ring exchanged during your wedding. It symbolizes your union forever. It is often a gold or silver ring chosen by the bride and groom. The wedding band can be adorned with diamonds, which reinforces this image of eternal love.
The circular shape of the wedding bands is linked to continuity and infinity. It is a tradition present for hundreds of years in many cultures. The symbolism has remained unchanged, even after generations and generations of weddings.
The ring is worn on the ring finger, as this finger has a vein, called the "vena amoris". This vein connects directly to the heart of the person wearing it. It is a reminder of the promises exchanged on the big day, which reminds you of your commitment every day.
Whether it's for the wedding band or the engagement ring, the diamond is the ideal precious stone for wedding jewelry. In addition to signifying eternal love, the translucency of this stone also symbolizes a clear and secret-free relationship.
The diamond, the perfect precious stone for a piece of jewelry that spans generations
At Celinni, our diamond craftsmen work this precious stone with great delicacy and precision. In addition to being popular for its beauty, the diamond has an incredible history, which is very symbolic for a family jewel.
The word “diamond”, comes from the Greek word "adamas" which means "invincible" or "indestructible". This represents the strength and purity that we mentioned earlier. This solid material is the hardest known among natural materials.
Thus, if you are looking for a natural raw material that will span generations and become a piece of jewelry with a strong emotional impact, the diamond is obviously the preferred choice for this unique accessory.
Throughout history, this strong symbol of durability has established itself as a romantic sign. If we delve into history, the traditions around engagement rings date back to antiquity when the Romans offered rings to their future wives. The diamond became the ideal stone from this key moment, thus becoming the universal symbol of the promise of union.
Then, in the 20th century, the popularity of the diamond and its importance within a marriage grew. It was at the end of the 1940s, thanks to certain marketing campaigns, that the diamond became the precious stone to choose for a wedding jewel that spans generations.
Why are wedding jewels a true heritage?
Choosing an engagement ring, a wedding ring, or even other wedding jewelry like a necklace, is to create new traditions within your family.
Create a tradition at the heart of your family
Make your wedding jewelry a heritage by establishing new traditions that will endure among your descendants. For example, you could decide to pass on your engagement ring to your daughter when she announces that her beloved has proposed to her. This jewel could be worn at her own wedding.
You can also decide to pass this ring on to your son if he wishes to propose to his partner. This jewel will have an even stronger symbolism as it will show your future daughter-in-law that she is now part of the family. Your son and daughter-in-law can then pass this jewel on to one of their future children and so on. A beautiful tradition that will perpetuate your love through generations.
Perpetuate the love of your couple through generations
The love you feel for your other half, let's talk about it. This jewel can have a much stronger symbolism than a simple accessory as it is the witness of a pure love and your common values.
An engagement ring or a wedding ring with a diamond represents the love of a couple who are the pillar of a family. You and your other half are at the heart of a lineage. Thus, this family jewel reminds of the importance of your love, your values, and especially the foundation of family values shared with your children.
The monetary value of these jewels
In addition to the sentimental value of these jewels that will have belonged to you, these pieces have a high monetary value. If you choose a ring with diamonds, the value of this piece will certainly increase over the years as it is a precious stone that remains rare, even as the years go by.
For the diamond, it is the weight, the purity, the color as well as the size and cut that determine the monetary value of the latter.
Choose a jewel to guarantee a beautiful heritage
For your future wedding, are you determined to choose jewels that will span generations? Whether you choose a piece adorned with diamonds or other precious stones, two key points should be considered in this choice: the style and quality of the accessory.
A timeless jewel
Whether it's choosing a ring, a bracelet or even earrings, the timeless style of these accessories is key. Among the timeless materials that make up this jewel, you can choose between:
- Yellow gold
- White gold
- Rose gold
Timelessness is essential so that this piece appeals to everyone, even several decades after the purchase. A ring with a single medium-sized precious stone in the center and other small diamonds will be perfect for a timeless choice that spans generations.
A quality jewel
Obviously, this jewel must be of high quality to last over time, and thus shine on the fingers of your descendants. Favor handmade manufacturing as we propose at Celinni. Our diamond craftsmen master the art of jewelry and particularly diamonds so that your piece is durable and does not break.
The quality of the precious stone is undoubtedly at the heart of your priorities. Even though all diamonds are unique, they are robust natural materials as you have understood. You must rely on the 4C of the diamond to determine the quality and value of the latter. As a reminder, this represents the weight, purity, color, size and cut of the stone.
