When you hear the phrase wedding bands people usually associate the term to mean wedding rings of all descriptions but originally a wedding band was worn by the groom and was a metal band with no ornamentation at all. The woman was usually offered a ring with a gemstone and decorations as a sign of his intention to marry, much like an engagement ring and then the man would get his band on the wedding day. Women eventually started to wear wedding bands and over the years they became more and more decorative and evolved into the modern day wedding rings we see adorning the fingers of today’s brides.

Even men’s wedding bands are becoming increasingly more decorative with some grooms deciding to include engravings that might include the date of the wedding or the name of the couple getting married, some men decide to decorate their wedding bands with Jewells, precious stones or multiple metals to give and aesthetic effect. Many couples now decide to match their wedding bands by having a similar style or matching the gemstones used, jewellery in general is becoming more bespoke with modern methods allowing for ever more impressive pieces.
