The Teardrop Wedding Ring

I knew my wedding ring had to be special. It needed to be more than just a piece of jewellery. It needed to be a symbol, a story, a piece of art. It had to show not just my love for my partner but also the journey that brought me here. That’s why I chose a handmade wedding ring. It is a delicate and meaningful creation of hammered silver. It features a teardrop-shaped aquamarine stone set in gold.

The design is simple yet profound. The hammered silver band feels earthy and grounded, like a piece forged by life’s trials. Each gentle indentation tells a story, a mark of resilience and beauty in imperfection. This band isn’t about gleaming perfection; it’s about strength, adaptability, and grace.

At the heart of the ring lies the aquamarine stone, shaped like a teardrop and encased in warm gold. To me, the aquamarine symbolizes the ocean—a vast expanse of calm and depth. Its serene blue hue reminds me of the clarity I’ve gained over the years. It reflects the healing of old wounds. It also embodies the hope of a love that carries me forward.

The teardrop shape is where the magic lies. It’s a reminder of every tear I’ve shed—the moments of heartbreak, of sorrow, and of longing. These were not wasted tears; they watered the soil of my soul, helping me grow into the person I am today. By placing this teardrop upon my wedding ring, I’ve turned my past sorrows into something beautiful, a promise of the happy tears to come.

And the gold setting? To me, it represents how love transforms. It’s the warm embrace of my partner, the golden light of our shared future, and the glow that radiates when two souls meet and choose each other.

This ring is more than just a wedding band; it’s a part of me. Handmade with care and intention, it feels like a collaboration between the artist and my story. Every time I look at it, I see the culmination of my past and the unfolding of my future.

As I stood beside my partner on our wedding day, I knew there would be tears. Happy tears. Tears of joy, gratitude, and the overwhelming realization of how far we’ve come to reach this moment. This ring will catch the light of those tears and remind me that life’s beauty lies in its complexity—in joy and sorrow, in hope and memory, in love and transformation.

This is my handmade wedding ring. It’s not just a symbol of my marriage; it’s a symbol of me, of us, of everything we’ve been and everything we will become. And I couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to mark the start of this next chapter.
