Matching rather than Identical

Many of you are unsure whether it is ok to choose a pair of wedding rings that are not identical. Well, there is actually no right answer – the choice is up to the both of you. Many people choose the same design for the bride and groom, but as you know we are made up of different shapes and sizes, so the same design, might not give the same results.The same shape of ring, but a slimmer one for the lady to go in proportion to her finger size. 

Majority of you, choose to make matching bands, rather than identical. And matching is a term that gives you a lot more flexibility. Here are a few examples of how to show that you are a pair, without wearing the exact same ring.

While using the same colour, this couple chose designs that suit their respective size and taste.

His works well as a contemporary statement ring with matte finish. Hers borrows the same element of round squarishness, but made to be worn together with her Diamond engagement ring.

Matching colour and finishing, but with different shapes. The lady’s band required square edges to fit the Princess cut Ruby. He chose a rounded band which he thought looked better on his finger.  

This couple chose to make their rings in an overall same shape, but with Diamonds for her.

As you can see, the options are endless when you open up to the idea of matching rather than identical wedding rings. As they say, opposites attract, and these are examples of how stunning different designs can look together. It also means that one party does not need to compromise on their wishes, as you can both get the design that you like.

Just a Minute: Cheryl

Cheryl, a secondary school teacher, recently collected her third Goldilocks, and we took the opportunity to ask her a few questions.

You just collected your third Goldilocks necklace – what keeps you coming back for more? I feel that Goldilocks is customisation in its truest sense, since no two pieces are alike.

What do your three pieces stand for? ‘tg’ is my first Goldilocks. It is my son’s initials. Coincidentally, it also combines the first letter of my surname and my husband’s surname. As for Tristan and David, let’s just say they are the two greatest loves of my life.

How did you get the idea to wear your ‘Tristan’ and ‘David’ together? A male colleague, who saw me wearing ’Tristan’, lamented that we women are all the same - we cast our husbands aside after we have children. So I decided to get ‘David’ and wear it together with ‘Tristan’ as a reminder. I don’t remove the necklaces, they may look dainty but they are in fact very well-made and sturdy.


You have shown interest in the Goldilocks Doodles as well – what would you like to see next?  I’m looking forward to Goldilocks in the form of rings.What will your next Goldilocks be? Hmm…We’ll have to wait till I have another baby? But that may take quite long, so perhaps an ‘&’ for now.Thank you, Cheryl! 

Year Year Have Fish

The Chinese idiom 年年有余 ‘Nian Nian You Yu’ directly translated means ‘Year Year Have Surplus’. The English translation would be ‘May you have Abundance in life year after year’. This is a greeting commonly heard throughout Chinese New Year.

The character 余 ’yu’ which means surplus or abundance sounds exactly like the character 鱼 ‘yu’ which means fish. Hence, the fish is often used as a symbol of abundance and is meant to give a good start to the new year.

Although commonly seen at Chinese New Year, the fish is a good symbol all year round. According to Feng Shui a pair of swimming fish symbolizes a harmonious marriage, fertility and wealth. Some New Year decorations even use the character for’ fish’ instead of ‘surplus’ as a good luck pun.

The Chinese are not the only ones to use fish as a symbol of luck or good omen. The fish is also a symbol used by Christians, who in turn got it from the ancient Greeks. The Celts saw the fish as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, inspiration and prophecy. And we all know that eating fish makes you clever…

Do you know any other beliefs surrounding the fish?
