The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-03-04, Page 33Color of gold for rings is a matter of taste
Before you -and your
fiancee set out to buy your
wedding rings,there are
sane timely tips that will
save you lots of leg work and
help you to make a wise
choice.
It is 'important to go to a
jeweller you can trust; who
will show you a selection of
name brand wedding liogs in
both white and yellow gold.
'Fine quality and expert
craftsmanship will last a
lifetime, the precious gleam
mellowing with time and
loving wear.
There is no significant
difference in your choice of
color of gold.. it is a matter
of taste. Both offer strength,
hardness and resistance to
wear, both are equally
precious.
Wedding rings should be
ordered four to six weeks
before the happy event,
inguring plenty of time for
accurate sizing.
A
A. narrow band will be
about half a .size smaller
than a.wide one, since it will
slip over .the knuckle with
more ease.
The design should appear
in a continuous flow, showing
no break; finishes must be
clean • and smooth • to your
touch.
Inscribing your name or
initials and your wedding
date on the inside of each
band is traditional and
romantic.
To ensure their lasting 'til
your golden anniversary,
plan to spend about one
week's salary for each band.
Since price varies With the
style and a*nount of work
involved, there is no prac-
tical buying guide to use, but
the salary guide can be a
starting point.

ing that very important diamond engagement ring, advises the
Jewelry Industry Council.
Choosing music
You will have to choose
music for both your wedding
ceremony and for your
reception dance.
You may want traditional
wedding music played by
your church organist.
Discuss this with him or her.
If your wedding is lavish,
you may even want a choir to
sing. Duets and solos are
nice and can be ac-
companied by guitar with
more modern songs being
chosen by 'the bride and
groom
As an alternative to .a
costly full -piece band or
orchestra playing at your
reception dance, you could
consider a good disc jockey.
Discusswith him the type of
-music you want played. For
example, you may want a
few polkas played along with
the other numbers. And you
might want to pick out a
special song that you and
your groom can dance to at
the beginning of the
reception and just previous
to leaving the reception.

WEDDING AND BETROTHAL RINGS over the ages have followed the dictates of fashion and
fancy. The German gemel ring, left, from the 16th century, is composed of two separate rings
that look like one when they're unified, the perfect symbol of the essential oneness of man and
wife. It boasts the inscription in Latin, "What God hath joined together let no man. put asun-
der." The English w edding ring. right, which dates from the 15th century, boasts clasped hands
and a heart tif, and is inscribed with the motto, "God Helps."
