Crown rings

The symbolism of crown rings is intimately related to the symbolism of their shape: a circle. Throughout history, circles have been used as a metaphor for the concepts of wholeness, perfection, the self, infinity, eternity, and timelessness.

Circles have also been seen as symbols of God, both in the Christian faith and in many other religions. Circles have no beginning and no end, and their symmetry has made them symbols of heaven and the perfection of God.

The eternal nature of a circle has also made rings, especially wedding rings, symbols not only of love, but of eternal love. By giving an engagement ring or exchanging promise rings, you are promising that you will love and remain dedicated to each other for all time

Wedding rings have a long and complicated history that goes back thousands of years. Although giving a ring as a sign of love and fidelity is an ancient tradition, it has changed and been reshaped many times over the centuries. The ancient Egyptians were among the first to give engagement rings, about 6,000 years ago. The tradition was taken up by the ancient Greek and Roman cultures, and has had its ups and downs in European countries ever since.

The styles and materials of rings have also changed a great deal. Crown rings were most often made of leather, ivory, or bone in ancient Rome. Even when metal rings began to become more popular, they were usually made of silver and alloys. Silver and gold rings would only be worn by the very rich.

In other parts of Europe, crown ring styles went through a wide variety of trends. It's interesting to take a long-term view of history and see the emerging fashions that came and went, just like today. Some types of old-fashioned wedding rings now exist only in museums, while others have left a more lasting influence

Crown rings for women

Considering how long crown rings for women have been a central part of our culture, the reality is that the modern exchange of wedding rings, as we know it, is a fairly recent tradition. Throughout most of recorded history, only the bride wore a crown ring.

There was also a time when crown rings for women were considered almost a mark of ownership, rather than a symbol of committed partnership as they are today. Fortunately, times have changed.

The exact origins of the now common exchange of engagement rings are not entirely clear, but some of the earliest records of grooms exchanging silver rings come from the Netherlands in the early 19th century. It wasn't until the 20th century that the practice became commonplace in the USA.

The differentiation between engagement rings and promise rings is also a relatively modern notion (which was, in part, encouraged by the diamond industry in the 20th century). These days, more and more couples are choosing rings that function as both engagement rings and promise rings, focusing more on the meaning and story of the ring rather than just looking for a sparkling rock.

Crown-shaped rings

Traditionally, crown-shaped rings are worn on the fourth finger (that is, the ring finger) of the left hand. This is a tradition that goes back almost as far as the wedding ring itself. It was the ancient Egyptians who believed that this particular finger contained a special vein that connected directly to the human heart. They called it the vena amoris, or the "vein of love".

Questionable ideas about human anatomy aside, the Egyptians started a tradition that has remained with us to this day. That said, there are, and always have been, alternative ways to wear an engagement ring. In many cultures it is customary to wear crown-shaped rings on the right hand, but in the USA it is almost universal for the bride and groom to place wedding rings on the ring finger of the left hand during the marriage ceremony.

Most spouses choose to keep wearing their promise rings throughout their lives as a symbol of their endless love and commitment. Many never take their rings off. Others, especially those who have jobs that can make wearing a silver ring dangerous (electricians, mechanics, police officers), may choose to wear their rings on a chain around their neck part of the time.

Silver crown rings

Silver crown rings often become cherished heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation. Your silver ring can tell not only your story, but that of your children and your children's children. With that in mind, it's important to give your engagement ring the proper care it needs to withstand the passage of time. For most silver crown rings, gentle routine cleaning with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is enough to maintain the shine for many years.

You can clean most silver rings with warm water and a mild dish soap for an occasional deeper cleaning. Avoid exposing engagement rings to harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish of many rings. Whether your ring is made of gold, silver, wood, or any other traditional and non-traditional material, it may occasionally suffer some dents and knocks.

If so, you can always take it to a jeweler or contact the manufacturer for a professional polish and buff.
