WEDDINGS IN 2003: SAY “YES” TO WEDDING-RINGS AND “YES” TO PLATINUM
21.07.2003 /15.41
Once in our lives. That’s what young couples are dreaming when they step up to the altar. Once in a lifetime, they want to show the world that they’ve chosen each other and that they’re planning to stay together for the rest of their lives. And they want to joyfully symbolize that decision by exchanging wedding-rings. Wedding-rings are particularly important now for people who’re in love: a recent survey by a German wedding magazine found that scarcely any couple opts to do without wedding rings nowadays.
Platinum and Love –
Expressions of a Very Special Liaison
Wedding-ring experts know that the importance of wedding rings is steadily increasing. Monika Schweiger-Büse owns the Trauring Company, a business that specializes exclusively in wedding rings. She knows from firsthand experience that couples give very careful thought to their decision: “People put greater value on their wedding-rings these days. They want rings that are beautiful and that perfectly suit their wearers. Platinum has gained favor among couples because it’s very special,” this wedding ring specialist reports. “Not only is platinum the noblest and rarest of all metals, its longevity and preciousness imbue it with a symbolic character that’s attracting an ever-greater number of people. Many couples feel that since they’ll only buy wedding-rings once in their lives, those rings ought to be genuinely special and of extraordinarily high quality. Furthermore, wedding-rings are intended to be worn for many, many years. Thanks to its excellent wearing attributes, platinum is quite simply the ideal choice.”
A Comfortable Feel and an Aesthetic Aura
Not only is platinum the rarest and most precious metal, it’s also very kind to the skin and extremely resistant to abrasion. Even when a platinum ring is worn day in and day out, none of the material is rubbed away or scraped off. Furthermore, platinum is also the purest of jewelry metals. And platinum is naturally white in color – through and through. Platinum is processed in a fineness of 950/000. This means that pure platinum comprises fully 950 grams of every 1,000 grams of jewelry metal. These values reveal themselves to the connoisseur not only visibly through the metal’s incomparable white shimmer, but also palpably through the unmistakable feel. Platinum is denser than other metals, which also means that it’s heavier than others: a ring that’s crafted from platinum feels more massive than a gold ring of the same size.
The Ring as a Symbol of Eternity
“Romantic motifs are no longer en vogue. The trend is towards broad, but sleekly simple rings,” says wedding ring expert Monika Schweiger-Büse. “People pay special attention to the theme of wearing comfort because nowadays not only women, but also men want to enjoy wearing wedding-rings.” In addition to the sleek rings mentioned above, unusual rings are also quite popular: for example, rings that feature uncommon combinations of materials. The juxtaposition of platinum with diamonds is also a very popular theme. While the groom can opt for a sleekly unadorned ring, his bride can select a matching, diamond-ornamented model. Love, platinum, and diamonds are the world’s longest-lasting liaison. Platinum wedding-rings repeatedly remind their wearers that he and she have chosen the two most precious things that can be found anywhere on Earth: joy and love!
