 Six Myths Still Circulating about Wedding Rings

People get misty-eyed when they see an impromptu proposal take place. There's something special about engagements and weddings that makes people happy. You may notice even young children stopping to look at the display of wedding rings in the mall or online sites. What types of myths surround these lovely circles of love and is there any credence to the legends?

Avoid Shopping for mens opal rings on Friday

Friday happens to be one of the most convenient days to go shopping. It symbolizes payday, the end of the workweek and the day that stores stay open later. What better time for a couple to shop for wedding or engagement rings? One myth suggests to look for the symbols of your love on any other day of the week, because Friday is considered an unlucky day. Perhaps it is a reflection of Friday the 13th.

Unresolved: Marriages certainly have their good and bad moments. It would be a shame to blame any problems on a Friday choice of rings. Choose Saturday through Thursday to go shopping and put any concern to rest.

Bigger is Better

A large diamond or other type of gem certainly draws a lot of attention. People rave about the ring and turn a person's hand this way and that to see the jewel capture and refract the light. Is bigger really better?

Busted: The size of the stone is not the most important thing. Above all, the ring should suit the recipient's lifestyle. What does the future bride like in the way of jewelry? It is a lot luckier to pick a ring with a gold band if that is what she likes because it shows the future groom has taken time to notice what she wears and prefers.

More than One Type of Stone Brings Trouble

Choose one particular type of gem for the rings and stay with it to avoid trouble in your marriage.

Busted: Mix and match opals with diamonds, sapphires with bezel and emeralds with tanzanite. If the bride will be wearing this ring day and night for the next 60 years or so, make it special to make the marriage last. This superstition may have started because jewels require different methods of cleaning and replacement.

Boulder Opal A Great Choice for Pendant Jewelry

Australian Opal Direct
 Boulder opal is a great alternative to the other two main types of opal: Black opal and White opal earrings . Boulder opal is mostly sold in opal shops as a free form piece of gemstone. That means that the stone has its own individual shape rather than an oval or a circle or a pear shape which black and white opals are normally cut into. A free form shape will not look like any shape that you recognize but will still be pleasing. Another major difference is that boulder opal will often not be smooth and domed on the top. We call this a cabochon from an old French word which translates to the English word hat. We cut most opals into cabochons because it enhances their color characteristics by allowing the light to enter and exit the stone for maximum effect. Boulder opal will mostly have an undulating surface of the opal material sitting on a bed or dark brown ironstone. This means that the stone will need to have a jeweler make a special setting for the stone because ready made se...
