Dating back to ancient Egypt, the tradition of wearing a wedding band has endured for centuries! It was believed that the left ring finger housed a vein that led directly to the heart, known as “Vena Amoris” or the “Vein of Love”, and the ring symbolizes a never-ending love between the couple. Relics dating back 6,000 years show evidence that these bridal rings were made of braided hemp or reeds. Oh, how times have changed!
Nowadays, the options are almost endless when it comes to wedding rings for women. While you can probably still find a braided hemp wedding ring somewhere in the far reaches of the Internet, many modern women would prefer a wedding ring that turns heads and lets their love sparkle! I know I would!

Showcasing a row of open hearts along the band and sparkling with over 1-3/4 carats of glittering white topaz, this fine jewelry design packs a punch without breaking the bank. Internationally-renowned designer and artist Alfred Durante designed this piece and I love how he incorporated romantic touches from every angle, right down to the engraved names on the inside of the band!
