Braided Gold Wedding Bands

The history of gold braided wedding bands can be traced back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. In ancient Egypt, wedding bands were fabricated with the use of papyrus and weeds growing alongside the Egypt’s cradle of life, the Nile River.

The plant sections were fashioned, twisted, and braided into circular objects as we now know them today as rings. Bear in mind, the Egyptians believed in many myths and traditions; some lasting till this day. They believed that by twisting the plants into circles, it would represent never-ending and immortal love. Moreover, they would exchange these braided rings amongst men and women, symbolizing an eternal bond embodied by the circular nature of the braided band. The Egyptians also believed that the fourth finger, now known as the ring finger today, contained a special vein that bridges straight to the heart. These eco-friendly braided wedding bands were the physical manifestation of the concept of marriage.

Eventually the Greeks conquered the Egyptians and carried on the braided wedding band tradition to other ruling societies, such as the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, braided wedding bands were legally binding. Men and women, especially men, staked their claims to their betrothed. As time passed, precious metal was introduced and so began the tradition of braided gold wedding rings. White, yellow, and at times rose gold weave in and out, intertwine, and interlace with one another, much like you do with your significant other, to produce a single entity, from you and I, to us.
