These elegant rings were hand crafted for a couple by my friend, Ann Hartley. I was only too happy to suggest her work to the couple who were not happy with the ring options they found at traditional jewelers. Decisions are made by the bride and groom for every other aspect of their wedding, so it seems only obvious that they be able to weigh in on the one part of their wedding that they will carry with them for the rest of their time together. Ann worked closely with the couple to be sure their every expectation was met. Additional wedding bands from Ann's etsy store can be seen here, but I encourage you to visit all of the items she has on etsy. Ann describes these rings as "flat on the outside and rounded on the inside for comfort. These bands are substantial and are carved from a solid piece of sterling silver, there is no seam. Solder seams can become brittle over time and crack, not a good thing for a band you will be wearing every day. They are also made from a die struck silver which is harder than a cast wedding band. These are made to last a lifetime, just like your marriage!"
