Vintage wedding photos: 1940s Newlyweds

 

Late 1940s Newlyweds

Prior to World War Two, it was not common for a man to wear a wedding ring. However, by the time this couple was married in the late 1940s it had become more popular for the groom to receive a wedding ring during the marriage ceremony. One reason for this is that during the war the ring would give the man a reminder of his family back home. It was also traditional for the wedding rings and engagement ring to be made of the same metal. In that spirit, we at Turtle Love Co. offer a modern take on the traditional engagement and wedding rings with this Nested White Topaz Engagement Ring Set and Hammered Silver Ring. These rings are made by Jen Burrall in Portland, Maine and are handmade from recycled sterling silver and the engagement ring features a 7.5mm white topaz in a 10mm wire bezel setting.
