Relationships
are beautiful expressions of kinship, love and trust shared between two people.
There are few relationships as intimate or as lasting as between a husband and
wife. The love and commitment shared by a man and woman has spawned epics of
love and longing that have manifested themselves in the form of stories, poems,
movies and books across the ages.
Jewelry plays a significant part in the expression of love between two people. From a
commitment bracelet, to a diamond solitaire, from an engagement ring to a
quirky tassel or anklet, the symbolism of jewelry in a committed relationship
is of great significance. The following is a guide to the perfect jewelry for
committed couples.
For her:
Diamond
Rings:
A
circlet of eternity crowned by an immortal sparkling stone, that says that
she’s the only woman who will ever truly win your heart and affections.
Diamonds have been considered as appropriate presents for paramours from time
immemorial. The Greeks considered these stones as tears of the Gods, while the
Romans were among the first to fashion rings that were studded with diamonds.
Being one of a kind and rare, diamonds are the perfect statement of intent and
commitment to your significant other. Whether it is a single diamond or a row of tiny diamonds in shapes that are unique, these rings are one gift with which
you couldn’t possibly go wrong.
Earrings:
Whether
you choose simple studs or more intricate chandelier style earrings, these
pieces always convey the feelings of love and commitment. When choosing
earrings for your special someone, always make sure they go well with her face
cut. A simple rule of thumb, if she has
a longish face, studs in floral, geometric or nature inspired shapes are a good
bet. Round and oval face cuts could be best accentuated with longer chandelier
style earrings. Choose the metal and stones wisely. Coloured stone should be
chosen taking into consideration your beloved’s skin tone, though diamonds are
the best bet for all skin types.
Bracelets:
A
reminder of love around your partner’s wrists, bracelets are the best way to
arrest your partner and make her your own. A variety of bracelets are available
for the modern woman. From the always elegant string of miniature diamonds to
the more whimsical charm bracelets, these ornaments are perfect and accentuate
every facet of your lady love’s personality. Perfect on a formal gown as it can
be with a chic, all encompassing casual look, bracelets are eternal reminders
of love and commitment.
Solitaires:
A
single, precious diamond, set on a minimal chain, is how many perceive a
solitaire. Solitaires though are much more versatile and can be set into almost
all sorts of ornaments. From a ring with one diamond as a central focus, to
earrings with single precious stones, to a necklace with a diamond in colour or
white as the focal point, solitaires are a timeless, ageless way of telling
your soulmate that she’s your one and only!
Anklets:
Anklets
are a more esoteric, eccentric gift to appreciate and celebrate your partners
unique and signature brand of kookiness. Perfect if your partner is fascinated
by the orient and has a slightly crazy, wild side.
For
him:
The list of Jewelry for men is normally not as exhaustive as it is for women though
a few ornaments are now gaining popularity. For your Adam, here is a list of
options, other than the usual ring or watch.
Cufflinks:
Ideal
if your man wears business suits or dress shirts. Cufflinks in semi-precious
metals like tungsten and titanium, either without any embellishments or colored
stones are perfect. Make sure that the colour of the cufflinks match the color
of the shirt and suit though.
Bracelets:
Chunky
bracelets with no embellishments are perfect for the outdoorsy type of man,
with wider wrists, or for a man who loves working out to keep himself in prime
condition.
