Men’s Engagement Rings
Friday, April 26th, 2013Dating back to the ancient Egyptians, a woman has been given a sparkling gift on the event of her engagement. Today, we give and receive engagement rings as an act of love, and to indicate that a woman is soon to be married. Some people may wonder, however, what about the men? During the Middle Ages, ladies at jousting competitions would give their handkerchief to a knight of their favor. He would then proudly display it as he attempted to unseat his opponent. Men who proposed have steeled their nerves to ask one of the most important questions they will [...]

Simple Engagement Rings

Fingerprint Rings
Thursday, March 21st, 2013Fingerprints—those swirling indicators of our individual identity—are physical attributes that we tend to take for granted. They serve two physiological purposes: they produce friction (allowing us to pick up items with greater ease) and they amplify vibrations so that we are able to feel subtle textures. This scientific examination, however, does not hint at a fingerprint’s profound emotional associations. While there is always the occasional handshake, we tend to join hands most often with those that we love. We take a child’s hand for safety when we cross the street, and we hold our partner’s hand because it encourages [...]

For many, the holiday calls to mind shamrocks, green beer, and leprechauns. Yet around a thousand years before Saint Patrick brought Christianity across the sea, the Celtic people arrived on the Irish shores. Celtic history is full of mystery, but one thing is certain: they were a study in contrasts— a class of warring “barbarians” who created incredible works of art. The most recognizable symbol of the Celts, the Celtic knot, is a beloved symbol worldwide. Modern Associations Celtic knots have [...]
