Ah, marriage. What a wonderful institution! And certainly full of traditions.

One such tradition is the engagement ring, marking the commitment a couple has made for marriage in the (hopefully near) future. Engagement rings are often a large part of the whole wedding and marriage process. When a woman announces that she is engaged, the first thing people want to do is see the ring! Then they want to hear all about the proposal…but that’s another story altogether.

Let’s face it: engagement rings can be very pricey. The traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire. If the ring were a simple band the price wouldn’t be such an issue, but once that rock is placed on top the cost can skyrocket!

Luckily for those engagement ring shoppers out there, Bidz.com carries a gorgeous always-changing variety of affordable engagement rings. We carry yellow gold, white gold and platinum rings. We carry traditional diamond solitaire styles as well as more ornate rings and rings with stones other than diamond. There is plenty to bid on, and with a new selection daily you’ll want to check back often.

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials, and good luck bidding!

A woman’s wedding day is often planned for six months to a year, sometimes longer. Everything is considered from the bridal bouquet to the little place setting name tags. Nothing is left unconsidered, including the jewelry the bride will wear on the big day.

Always popular in bridal jewelry is the pearl. Freshwater or saltwater, pearls are absolutely gorgeous. Pearls worn at weddings are generally white, but the color variety in pearls allows for a bit of color to be mixed in with white on the wedding day.

The ancient Greeks believed that pearls were the tears of the sea nymphs. In mythology, pearl necklaces became the symbol of a happy marriage—pearls were believed to make your eyes shine and to guard you from unhappy love, thus pearls have been associated
with weddings ever since.
