MEN’S WEDDING BANDS

Went it comes to wedding rings all thought (and anxiety) usually goes into selecting the perfect ring for the bride. Historically a man’s ring is almost an afterthought, a simple band with the only choice being what kind of metal. Really, there is just as much detailing and ornamentation that can go into a man’s wedding ring as goes into his brides. Metal type, color, finish, engraving, and gems are just some of the choices available to men now. It can be overwhelming at times, especially when added to the stress of planning a wedding. Let CMI Jewelry help simplify your life by having all your choices in one place and our expert staff on hand to answer any questions. Come talk to us at our showroom today!

PEARL


This month’s birthstone is Pearl! A pearl is unique amongst gemstones, it is the only gem that is organic in nature. Pearls come in colors that can range from milky white, to silver, cream, gray, lavender, golden, and blue to the darkest shades of black. Pearls signify faithfulness, friendship and loyalty and are recognized as the symbol of modesty, chastity and purity. The ancient Greeks believed that pearls were the hardened tears of joy from Aphrodite, the goddess of love. A gem that would make a great addition to any collection.
