What were Chinese wedding baskets used for?

Traditionally, Chinese wedding baskets were filled with gifts and necessities and given to the bride on her wedding day. The basket was tiered, and made out of woven material. You can shop a collection of Chinese wedding baskets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Did the Celts use wedding rings?

Yes, the Celts did use wedding rings. During wedding festivals, couples exchanged gold, bronze or iron rings that symbolized the signing of the marriage contract. Many Celtic wedding rings featured knotwork designs that represented the coming together of two families. Explore an assortment of wedding rings on 1stDibs.

Which cultures do not use wedding rings?

Traditionally, many Asian cultures do not use wedding rings. However, wedding rings have become popular even in countries where they are not normally worn due to the influence of Western traditions. This is particularly true for brides. For example, Chinese men typically don't wear wedding rings, but many Chinese women now choose to. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of wedding rings.

What can you use instead of wedding rings?

A range of items and accessories can be used instead of wedding rings to celebrate your big day. Some couples exchange other types of jewelry like earrings or bracelets. Another option is to each present one another with a gift to symbolize your vows. For example, the bride might give the groom a watch, while he in turn offers her a heart pendant necklace. Feel free to choose something that is meaningful to you and your partner. Shop a variety of jewelry and timepieces from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.

Is platinum used in wedding rings?

Yes, platinum is used in wedding rings. As the metal of choice for wedding jewelry, platinum offers long-lasting durability, as it is strong and scratch-resistant. The metal also doesn't fade and is unlikely to tarnish or corrode, allowing it to maintain its cool color and sleek appearance with very little need for ongoing maintenance. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of platinum wedding rings.

What are ceramic vases used for?

Today, ceramic vases are often decorative in nature, but in history ceramic vases or containers were used throughout the day in many different ways. They were for storage, transport, mixing items, serving food and drinks, storing cosmetics and perfume and they were used as gifts to the gods. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary ceramic vases from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

What can I use to hold my wedding rings together?

To hold your wedding rings together, you can use an accessory called a ring connector. Available in silver and gold tones and clear designs, connectors usually slip onto each ring and then snap together. For a more permanent option, you can have a jeweler solder the rings to one another. On 1stDibs, find a variety of wedding rings.

Can you use your engagement ring as your wedding ring?

Yes, you can use your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Although many people choose to wear a separate wedding band, you're free to have your new spouse slip your engagement ring onto your finger during your wedding ceremony. In this case, you would forego wearing a wedding band entirely. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage engagement rings.

Why is pure gold not used for wedding rings?

Pure gold is typically not used for wedding rings due to its properties. Because it contains no base metals, pure or 24-karat gold is soft and malleable. As a result, it's vulnerable to scratches and breakage. Alloys like 18- and 14-karat gold tend to be stronger and are better suited to making rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold wedding rings.

Is it okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band?

Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.

Why is pure gold not used for wedding rings?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
Pure gold is typically not used for wedding rings due to its properties. Because it contains no base metals, pure or 24-karat gold is soft and malleable. As a result, it's vulnerable to scratches and breakage. Alloys like 18- and 14-karat gold tend to be stronger and are better suited to making rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold wedding rings.
Is it okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.
