Jewish Wedding Band

Many girls dream about their wedding day no matter the religion and an important part of any wedding are the wedding rings and the Ketubah. Jewish wedding bands should symbolize the couple’s commitment to each other and their religion. Unlike typical weddings Jewish wedding bands should not have any stones on them and should be simple in nature. Rings can come in gold, silver or platinum and can contain inscriptions on them.

This mainly is because in the Jewish tradition the wedding band symbolizes the groom telling the bride that she is sanctified to him. The rings are usually in a circular shape symbolizing the perfect union of the bride and groom. Depending on the couple they may choose to only give one Jewish wedding band as required by Jewish law or they can both exchange rings.

Jewish wedding bands can be engraved with a Jewish message on the outside but tradition calls that nothing be engraved on the side. A very popular engraving phrase on a Jewish Wedding Band is Ani L’Dodi v’Dodi Li meaning “ I belong to my beloved and my beloved belongs to me”. The best thing to do is to think about what you want and shop around online for the best price.
