Wedding Ring Facts
In this blog we answer the most frequently asked questions about wedding rings.
Why do we wear wedding rings on the left ring finger?
They originally did this because there is a vein running through your left ring finger that leads to the heart.
This vein is also called 'vena amoris', which means vein of love.
Should we wear the same wedding rings?
That is entirely up to you. Whether you choose the exact same wedding rings or completely different ones, choose what feels best for you. The best thing is to have one element return in both wedding rings. Think for example of the color, shape or finish
When should we choose wedding rings?
The amount of time spent choosing wedding rings varies per couple. We recommend doing this four to six months in advance. We recommend this because it gives you enough time to choose carefully. Juwelier van Dam wants you to leave the store with 100% certainty.
Can wedding rings be engraved?
Wedding rings with engravings are the most personal. That is why we, Juwelier van Dam, make it possible to have wedding rings engraved. This way you can engrave each other's name, but also the wedding date or your personal quote/motto.
Can wedding rings be made from old gold jewelry?
It is possible to have wedding rings made from old gold jewelry. The goldsmith can achieve this in two ways. You can choose to have old gold jewelry melted down, from which a completely new wedding ring comes. But you can also choose to have a wedding ring made with the shape of the previous piece of jewelry incorporated. In this way, the old gold jewelry is always recognizable.
How do you care for wedding rings?
Keep the rings clean by regularly using a soft toothbrush, warm water and dish soap on the wedding rings. You can also have them checked by us annually, we do this free of charge.
