You met your wife in college, a busy time of studying,
socializing and waking up to the reality of paying for the
things your parents once paid for. On the dating end, you wanted
to finalize your commitment to your future wife with a marriage
proposal. The only problem is, you didn’t have much financial
funds then to pay for an engagement ring.
So, you and your new fiancée settled on the idea that you would
purchase a simple ring, nothing too fancy, or debt threatening,
with the intent to buy her a better ring when you were
financially able.
Ten years and a few kids later, you have finally reached that
point. Upon your milestone anniversary, you have decided on a
fitting gift that will fulfill your 10-year old promise. This
year you will finally give her an anniversary ring.
But this is not just any ordinary ring. With an
anniversary ring, you are complimenting the existing wedding
band that your wife has worn for many years. It symbolizes
commitment to your spouse, a partnership that has endured many
trials, and a promising future of many years to come. Those
aspects in marriage will make this anniversary ring a symbolic
reflection of your unyielding commitment to each other.
Accommodated with the new anniversary band, your wedding ring
will now radiate with that extra sparkle.
What type of ring?
A typical “wedding ring” is that of an engagement ring, joined
with a wedding band to complete the “wedding ring” set. Some
women prefer that an engagement ring would settle in as the
“wedding ring,” upon a bride’s wedding day. This could be as a
result of simplicity’s sake for appearance or just to reduce
costs. Other women like to keep with the tradition and be
presented with an additional wedding band to accommodate her
engagement ring on her wedding day.
With an
anniversary ring, you can accommodate both situations.
Should a wife have an engagement ring only as her wedding ring,
you can finally give her that anniversary ring to join her
wedding ring. If she already has both bands, then she could wear
her anniversary ring on another hand. As the famous saying goes,
“the more the merrier.”
Prices in anniversary rings vary between the low hundreds to the
thousands, depending on design and the style. Hopefully you can
give your spouse whatever they desire! Most importantly, the
price of an anniversary should be insignificant. It is the
thought and consideration of this milestone gift that will make
it most special of all.
