If someday I buy an old textile factory to install The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory workshops (dreaming is free) on the frontispiece of the entrance, I will put a sign that says "Original are You." It is my favorite slogan: my goal every time an order enters the workshop is not to make a sparkling jewel. It is that this sparkling jewel is the best reflection of that self that there is only in each of you.
The goal is not that your wedding rings are original. It is that your alliances reflect your originality.
That is my added value: I offer you that your original wedding rings are a piece of you. That you, the couple, define the design. From a story that unites you, from a symbol that defines you as a couple, from the intimate happiness of being discreet, or classic, or vintage, or Celtic... or simply from an idea that gives you a spark. We specify measures, thicknesses, textures and finishes. We choose white gold, yellow gold or sterling silver... And the rest is sewing and singing :)
Tell me who you are and I will tell you how your wedding rings will be.
And, if it inspires you, here are 6 ideas to find that originality that you carry inside:
1.- Wedding rings with modern designs: for the most daring
Two wedding rings are like a blank canvas on which each couple writes their past, their present and their future. The possibilities are as endless as the imagination is endless. Designs, materials, thicknesses, sections, textures, finishes... As Archimedes said, «Give me an idea that will spark you and I will design the world» :-)
If you can imagine it, I can make it come true. Reversible wedding rings with gems and logos from the initials of the consorts, a thousand and one stripes at random or the strokes of three horses sharing destiny. They are just 3 examples of the thousand and one possibilities of modern jewelry design. And you, how would you like your wedding rings to be?
2.- Wedding rings with complementary design: you and I add 1
The approach is very simple: in standard designs both rings share the same design and therefore each ring makes sense by itself. On the other hand, in complementary designs, it is necessary to join the two wedding bands to contemplate the complete design. It's a nice metaphor for that union your alliances represent, right?
A shared design that to be complete requires the union of the two rings. It is like putting pieces of a treasure map together, like in the pirate stories of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stems that are born in an wedding ring to flourish in the consort, shared letters and stars, half snowflakes, spirals that make double spirals... or the structure of a molecule. Some examples:
3.- Wedding rings that fit one another: for couples that connect perfectly
Alliances that fit together are a variant of complementary designs: if the previous examples are complemented in a graphic sense, the fittings are complemented in a mechanical sense.
What? It is very easy: gathering outgoing and incoming symbols (swallows, stars...), or decorative elements (shot, balls ...) or metaphorical elements (like those "connect" triangles). You can even fit the entire piece, like in Eclipse wedding bands. The easiest way to count it is with some examples:
4.- Other Worlds wedding rings: the originality of the authentic
An alternative to modern design wedding rings. Surely you've seen them in series like "Game of Thrones" or in movies like "The Lord of the Rings". The ideal solution if you and your partner feel linked to ancient cultural traditions like the Celts, with symbols like the Claddagh or the triqueta. Or with the legend of Atlantis. Or with mathematical symbols. Japan, China, the Wikings, pre-Columbian America, Polynesia or African cultures are my next challenges... Who is next?

5.- Discreet wedding rings: I have not been here... and you have not seen me!
There are those who cannot imagine a jewel without a heart-stopping gem and the ostentatious yellow of solid gold. To compensate the universe, God invented the discreet. A fearsome lineage: every time a discreet knock on the door of my workshop... I tremble!
The discreet people who come to my workshop have previously visited numerous jewelry stores where they asked for some normal wedding rings and they looked at them weird. They answered that for such a special occasion, the minimum is a pebble the size of a pea on a yellow gold rococo ring with red gold spirals and a white gold stir fry :O
So... lesson learned! Discretes from the world: Welcome to The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory! Hammered texture in 18K white gold or sterling silver. Finished sandblasted on the outside and polished on the inside. An inscription inside. No shrill, of course :)
An optimal option for those looking for an elegant and low-key solution. Modern but that does not attract attention. Cool, but without posturing. Less is more!
6.- Classic and vintage wedding rings: in the world of modern ones, nothing more original than retro.
Tired of having to be a modern by obligation? Retro is cool for you? Then surely you will be tempted by classic or vintage wedding rings.
The difference between classic wedding rings and vintage wedding rings depends more on you than on me: probably the same wedding rings will be "a classic" for an older person who remembers the fashions of years ago and "vintage" for someone younger than look for a past style to differentiate yourself from "the modern". Definition of vintage: the fashion that grandparents like and drives grandchildren crazy, and that parents would never wear. If you are a fan of "the old is in fashion", yours are vintage wedding rings.
Grandparents' rings are back. But reread and reinterpreted.
There are possibilities to bore. In silver, white gold or yellow gold. Modern, complementary, with lace, from other cultures, discreet or vintage. Thousand and one measures, thick, textures and finishes. But the most important thing can be summed up quickly: «Original are you» :-)
And you? Won't you be looking for who converts that me that is only in you in some wedding rings?
Mi hija se casa en abril y quieren unas alianzas con las iniciales de la pareja. Se las regalamos los padres.
