Custom Designs 

While the idea of a standard wedding ring might not appeal to you, there are other options. For example, you can go for a special wedding ring that you design. You don't have to opt for a boring look-alike gold. Try sterling silver rings. This is a great way to put a nice spin of your own on the wedding ring. It's easy to put in an inscription of your own that says this is who you are and what is important to you in marriage. 

A Necklace 

Necklaces are one way to add to your wardrobe of jewelry pieces. If you don't want to have a ring because your work situation discourages them or you would prefer to go in another direction, the necklace can serve this purpose nicely. Find a chain you like and put an engraved charm on it. An infinity symbol is a great example of an item that says your marriage is forever. You can have your partner's name engraved along with your wedding date. 

Special Tattoos

Another possibility is a tattoo. Tattoos with your name and the name of your spouse allow you to remember how much you love someone every time you see it. There are lots of different designs to pick from. For example, you can go for a heart laid across your wrist or in the crook of your elbow. You can also have one on your ring finger. This is a good option that is visible but doesn't need a lot of care. It's also one possibility that can work well for the couple that loves tattoos and appreciates this form of art. 

The Silicone Wedding Band 

A wedding ring does not have to be fancy to work as a symbol of your love. Silicone is one material that can be used instead. It has many advantages. You can take it off and not worry it's going to be damaged. If it does get lost, you do not need to worry about it being expensive to replace the ring. The band also won't get caught in any machines that you work around each day. The flexible material easily comes loose. 

Displaying Your Wedding Certificate 

A visible symbol of your love need not be on your person at all times. Many people find it good to frame their wedding certificate. Place your wedding certificate in a high-quality frame or one that you have custom-made. It makes a lovely item to keep on the walls along with your favorite photographs. 

A strong bond between two people is something to truly celebrate. You don't need a standard ring to remind you of your enduring love.
