Wait for Wedding Jewelry

wedding jewelryI was walking down the street the other day with my girlfriend when she saw a jewelry store she had once bought something in, and wanted to take a gander again.

As she talked to the saleswoman, I meandered around looking at the fashionable jewelry in different designs. All of it was beautiful, sure, but I began to think how crazy it is that we dress up in these rare materials.

Womens diamond rings start from the ground up — literally. After the diamonds are discovered, they are sent to skilled jewelers who know how to carve and shape the gems into the resplendent stones we place on the fingers of our betrothed.

They are rare, and to make them into something beautiful after finding them in the ground takes time. It makes sense we reserve them as symbols for the strongest bonds of love. Maybe it was the less traditional style of the jewelry I was looking at –surrounded in feathers and carved into the shapes of snakes — that I found off-putting.

Soon thereafter, Julia finished browsing and we walked outside together. “You didn’t see anything you wanted?” I asked.

“I saw some, but, I’m waiting for wedding jewelry.” I always knew I loved her.
