Wedding Bands / Wedding Rings (Women)

wedding ring for womenWomen's Wedding Bands

The Egyptians supposedly invented the concept of the wedding band 4,800 years ago, by twisting plants, such as hemp, into circles and putting the ring on the fourth finger in order to link a couple's destiny. Purportedly, the twisted floral circle represented unending love. Later on, the Romans used iron wedding bands to signify ownership. The husbands saw the bands as legal tokens reminiscent of a modern-day proof-of-purchase. Today, we like to blend the Romanticism of the Egyptians with the pragmatism of the Romans. The modern wedding band symbolizes eternal love, along with indicating that you "belong" to someone. Thankfully, mankind has replaced the twists of hemp and the heavy, corroding iron, with gold and diamonds. We at Jewelry Discount House, are pleased to offer you a wide selection of wedding bands, from the simple gold wedding band, to elaborate styles with unique engraving and design, smothered in diamonds. For those interested in the completely unique ring, may we suggest our diamond ring configurator, where you can create a ring for your own exacting specifications.
