By Gabriel & Co. Jewelry Editorial Team – the significance of Heirlooms
It is evident that our past experiences help shape our future and heirloom bridal jewelry is just one of the many ways you can marry the old and new to make your symbol of love uniquely you.
From pairing a family engagement ring with a new wedding ring, to using an heirloom gemstone in a gorgeous new ring setting or even a pendant, the options are plentiful. Incorporating a piece of jewelry from a parent, grandparent, or great grandparent is a wonderful combination of creating your own style and paying tribute to the styles that helped shape you.
Engagement and wedding rings, for example, are two of the most special things you will own. They are a constant reminder of your devotion to your loved one. Everyone wants their rings to stand out, represent their style, and have its own character and personality.
An engagement and wedding ring symbolize that you are about to embark on a new journey. It’s the beginning of a new life for you and the person you will marry. It’s an event that brings some hesitation, because it may feel like you are leaving behind the family you’ve known all your life. However, just because you are starting a journey with a new loved one, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring a piece of your old loved ones with you.
- This 14K White Gold Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Ring adds a sparkle that will light up any piece of jewelry it is next to. With .36 carats of dazzling diamonds and a sleek 14K white gold band, it can fit right into an heirloom from many years ago.
- This enchanting and elegant 14K White Gold Curved French Pave Set Band is a magical combination of two styles. A slight curve towards the middle of the band sets itself apart from other rings, and the glittering row of pave diamonds on top will highlight any antique piece you pair it with.
- Combining white gold and diamonds is one of the cornerstones of fashionable jewelry, and a ring like this 14K White Gold Cushion Halo Round Diamond Engagement Ring will bring an exciting style to an elegant heirloom.
- Adding an heirloom to a piece like our 14K White Gold Round Halo Diamond Engagement Ring instantly creates a look that is all your own. Imagine adding a colorful gemstone or diamond vintage piece of jewelry to this smooth and sparkling style of a crisscross diamond-topped white gold ring. Wearing both vintage and contemporary pieces together show you are ready to take the next step in your life because you are bringing along the memories of previous generations.
- Finally, this 14K White Gold Scallopped Diamond Ring can be worn with a piece of jewelry from an ancestor to fashionably come together for a vintage and contemporary style. The ornate engravings and marquise shape creates a stunning silhouette that will compliment any vintage piece of jewelry you wear it with. The 14K white gold in this ring makes it versatile – you can wear it with any color of gold (yellow, white, or rose) and it will look magnificent.
The feeling that you get when you look through old photographs is comforting, calming, and nostalgic. Even when looking back on pictures from before your time, there is something special about seeing where you came from. Incorporating an heirloom into your engagement or wedding ring will give your ring a style that is all your own, and it will make you feel like your loved ones are always there with you.
And last but not least, be sure to have your heirloom inspected first. It might seem like it would be a seamless process of taking one diamond or gemstone from one ring and adding it to another, but it might not be that simple. It’s essential to take the heirloom to be inspected by a professional before you make any changes. This will help identify any previous damage that the piece may have. Having these issues fixed upfront will avoid any additional damage that could arise in the future – allowing your ring to have a longer lifespan.
