(prHWY.com) November 27, 2012 - Birmingham, United Kingdom -- In today's fast changing world, a leading retailer of cheap wedding rings this week reminded customers of the long tradition associated with weddings, wedding ceremonies and wedding rings. Mr Oliver Sutton, of cheap wedding rings retailer I Want Diamonds, recounted a short history of wedding rings and what they used to represent a long time ago.
"In older times wedding rings were not only a sign of love given in a wedding ceremony, but they were also linked to the bestowal of something called 'earnest money'. This was money given by the groom to the bride on the exchange of their wedding vows and rings. Marriage in those days was more of a contract between families who were eager to ensure economic safety of the young couple and not a contract between individual lovers, as it is today for most religions."
Online retailer, I Want Diamonds, produce stunning handcrafted cheap wedding rings that would rival any bestowal of 'earnest money' now-a-days. With a wide range of quality cheap wedding bands available in a selection of metals, with the choice of adding diamond settings, both bride and groom will have trouble narrowing down their choice to just one wedding band each. I Want Diamonds also provide a bespoke service, producing unique one-off bespoke wedding rings.
Mr Sutton went on to say, "The use of rings for both partners is a relatively recent innovation. The American jewellery industry started a marketing campaign to encourage both bride and groom to exchange wedding rings in the late 19th century, but to no avail. Then changes in the economy and the impact of World War II led to a more successful campaign for ladies and mens wedding rings and by the late 1940's, double wedding ring ceremonies made up for 80% of all weddings."
