Rings: see the differences in models for each occasion

The symbol present in the most magical moments of a couple's relationship is the ring. Therefore, this piece of jewelry holds great emotional value for them and needs to be chosen according to both personalities, while also maintaining some traditions that represent each stage of life together. There is not exactly a rule for each of them, but custom has made some types of pieces more characteristic than others for certain situations.

According to entrepreneur and jewelry designer Karla Bautz, the material and shape depend only on the couple's taste. “It all depends a lot on your characteristics, whether you have a more youthful or traditional profile in your choices. The stages are generally: to formalize the commitment, engagement, marriage, anniversaries, or even renewal of vows, which for a long time was somewhat forgotten, but has gained strength in recent years,” she comments.

The circular shape of the ring symbolizes eternity, which is how all passionate couples hope their relationship will be. The first step to formalizing the relationship is dating, which can be marked with a ring, representing both parties' willingness to continue getting to know each other. “We recommend for this occasion, a ring that can be made of white gold, for example, which can be simple and represents the strengthening of the relationship,” she suggests.

The next stage is the traditional engagement ring, which consists of a narrower piece with a prominent stone, with the most desired being the yellow gold ring with diamonds. In Brazil, it is very common for engagement rings to be the same as wedding rings. “The material is more freely chosen, being able to be in any shade of gold, from white to rose. The adornment can be a precious or semi-precious stone or even pearls, diamonds, and similar,” she indicates.

The wedding piece is usually made of yellow gold. “It can vary in width and shape, square or rounded at the edges. The more modern ones may have delicate textures formed by small scratches that give the impression of a design engraved on the jewelry,” she says.

After the union is established, each year of marriage is celebrated with an anniversary symbol, reinforcing the promise made during the wedding ceremony. “It is also possible at this moment, in addition to some type of celebration, to choose an appropriate piece of jewelry to symbolize love and the importance of each other,” she opines.
