Worthy Wedding Rings
The custojn of placing the wedding ring
onlhe fourth finger oweS lis origin (o
the pretty fancy of bygone days thatjp. ,
special nerve ran from this finger di
rectly to the heart. ,
As the pledge and symbol of mutual
affection, the plain gold band is at'ill
in greatest favor. . '
Our wedding rings are handwrought and
seamless, in either 14 or 18 kt.
gold. Finer rings are not made. In
the two popular styles the wide band
and the plump, narow band we'carrytf
all sizes in stock. "
