Gemstones are big in wedding jewelry. You choose stones like diamonds, opals and tourmalines because each has its own characteristics. Couples care about how these gems look and what they mean. These stones often represent personal promises and feelings between partners. Engagement rings, wedding bands and other jewelry pieces feature gemstones that tie in with marriage customs and styles.
Diamonds: The Timeless Choice
Diamonds are part of wedding jewelry. You see them often in engagement rings. They mean strength and lasting love. Their sparkle means forever commitment. To choose the right diamond you check the "four Cs": cut, color, clarity and carat weight. These will help you find a beautiful diamond to have. A simple solitaire is popular; one diamond on a plain band. Pavé has tiny diamonds set close together for extra sparkle. Halo has smaller diamonds around a larger one to make it sparkle even more. A 5mm wedding band can also be a timeless choice, especially when paired with a diamond setting.
