Interesting Custom Designed Tiffany Jewelry
Traditionally (at least in the Western world), men present rings to the women they intend to marry, and custom design Tiffany engagement rings are the best choice. Such custom handcrafted jewelry is one-of-a-kind; there are no two custom design Tiffany engagement rings that will ever look exactly alike.
Ancient Tradition
During Hellenistic times, men formalized marriage agreements with the unique piece of custom made Tiffany jewelry that has come to be known as the Tiffany engagement ring by placing it on the fourth finger of his betrothed’s left hand. In ancient Rome, it was said that this particular finger contained the vena amoris - literally, the ‘vein of love.’
This tradition as continued to the present day, as this form of custom designed Tiffany jewelry continues to be worn on what we now call the ‘ring finger’ of the left hand, at least in North America and the U.K. In some cultures however - such as those of Poland and among orthodox Jews - custom design engagement rings are actually worn on the right hand.
It’s More Than Gold and Tiffany Diamonds
Those who work in the field of custom Tiffany jewelry design create a wide variety of custom designed jewelry, which can range from plain metal bands made from white, yellow or red gold, silver, or even platinum. Tradition dictates that diamond be used in such custom made jewelry, but such tradition hardly has the force of law - which is the great thing about custom Tiffany jewelry design. ‘Custom’ means you can have it your way - so if your betrothed for some reason prefers sapphires to diamonds, there’s no reason why such a piece of custom handcrafted jewelry be created!
