One of the most delicious things in the world is being able to recycle old classics: that pencil skirt, the basic black dress, our everyday jeans and even that red lipstick. The trimmer ring is one more on the list that came back with everything, in reinvented versions. It was, for a long time, a tradition among women who married, dated or became engaged to add value to the engagement ring.
History
The exact origin of the jewel is not known, but it is a fact that the ring sideboard has become a strong tradition in many European and American countries. Typically, the trimmer is usually a gift given after a few years of marriage. Therefore, they are a great option for wedding celebrations!
In Brazil, its use has become more and more common, as it has fallen in love with Brazilians, as it ends up being a way to renew the alliance without getting rid of the old jewel. So, if you've gotten a little tired of your rings but don't want to part with them, the sideboard is a great way to upgrade.
In addition, in some cases, the jewel chosen as a sideboard is a family ring, passed through several generations or a simple solitaire, which can gain a new meaning and stay with the wedding ring.
But what is a trimmer ring?
The trimmer is a ring that is worn on the same finger as the engagement, wedding and even commitment ring. It has no special meaning, only aesthetic, giving charm to the wearer's hand and highlighting the beauty of the wedding ring.
Another use is to prevent the ring, which is a little loose, from falling off the finger, in cases where adjusting the piece is not an option. Here, you can use a simpler piece that lets the ring shine by itself.
How to use?
There are basically two ways of use: the first is using only one piece and the second is using two sideboards.
If you choose to use just one sideboard, the most usual thing is to put the wedding ring on first and then the sideboard. In this way, in addition to adding a touch of beauty to your production, the sideboard will serve as protection so that the wedding ring does not run the risk of falling off.
When choosing to use two sideboards, the most common thing is to use the wedding ring between the two rings. Normally, the two sideboards tend to be the same, but there is already a strong modernization trend that brings the sideboards in pairs with converging styles.
How to choose?
The choice follows the same rules as an alliance. You should look at the size, metal quality, meaning and personal style of the bride and groom.
It is important to observe the details of the alliance and the ring. Of course, you can be bold and use them however you like, but the common tip is to buy a more discreet sideboard if your wedding ring has stones and sparkles or vice versa. For those looking for more discretion, you can opt for the same material and color as the pieces.
The ring can be made in different ways, just like any other accessory. Silver, gold, metal with natural stones or zirconia are some of the ways. For those with a more daring style, you can mix different materials and colors. You're the boss!
