How To Show Each Other - And The Rest Of The World - That You Are In Love:

When two people are in love, they often give gifts to each other by way of saying "we are a couple".

Long before the relationships head towards the 'Wedding March' with the obvious wedding rings to match, it has now become almost traditional to have a kind of 'His and Hers' Couples Jewelry that they can share prior to the big day and the church celebrations.

Today, modern couples can have more than just rings to signify their bond.

Because of the tradition of exchanging rings or giving of diamonds (think Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) has been entrenched into our lives, there seems to be an almost compulsory expectation that engagement rings or some other form of friendship ring has to be given in order to signify marriage sometime in the future.

This has become so popular that pre-wedding rings (old style 'friendship rings) are exchanged to say "I Love You and will marry you one day."

But there are alternatives for those who see the old ways as being just that - OLD!

Pendants or matching chains and bracelets are now being accepted as a wonderful alternative to the traditional, but is an option that allows engagement and wedding bands at a later stage in their development.

And they can be made very personal and individualized when gold or silver jewelry is engraved with Names Or Initials and secret little messages that only the couple understand. These can be placed on Charms too, and often have significant dates inscribed in a personal and meaningful way.

Truly 'Couples Jewelry'. No-one else can share these items of devotion.

Don't forget symbols like Hearts or Flowers to suggest something special. Antique and Vintage Jewelry often had love knots and Bluebirds stamped into brooches and Lockets to indicate something special to someone special. Celtic Marking were also very popular.

Wouldn't you want that too?

And you don't have to think traditional metals and materials are the only way to have these items made.

While Gold and Silver were the most usual, Platinum items and White Gold has always been very special to both the couple in question and the Jewelry Manufacturing Trade in particular, who are always looking for new ways to 'Modernize' and shake things up a little.

Titanium is another example and look good on both Men and Women.

During the late 19th Century Rose Gold became VERY popular as the warm color is so attractive it lends itself to beautiful things. Later, Platinum became the 'chic' metal and even Green Gold and Multi-colored gold. Often metals were mixed or entwined (Silver and Gold for example).

Don't forget Gemstones in your Couples Jewelry. They come in all sizes shapes and colors and with the addition of your personal Birthstone can add a sparkling display to almost any item.

The R.E.G.A.R.D.S Jewelry was a classic example having Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond and Sapphire making up the name. Does your loved one have a name which could be spelled out with gemstones?

If you want to go for the best, I would personally recommend Opal and Diamonds as a very special combination, but Sapphires or Ruby and Emerald all make for spectacular Couples Jewelry.
