hand made, custom forged platinum wedding bands

I was just presenting a bid for a pair of hand made, custom forged, simple, heavy platinum wedding bands for a really lovely couple who i have had the pleasure of meeting in my studio (most of my custom clients come to me from afar, via the internet).
...and i was sort of overcome with emotion for a moment as i thought of what these rings will mean to this man and this woman.
okay, so i sound a wee bit dramatic, but seriously, you saw Lord of the Rings....forging a ring out of a noble metal with simple tools, hammer, fire, is moving...romantic, symbolic.

i am seeing more and more couples asking for round wedding bands, hand made, custom designed, seeking the symbolism a perfect circle offers.
a couple of years ago, most everyone who came to me was interested in the square, comfort fit ring.  
the square ring, perhaps a bit different and certainly comfortable,  but now i see this return to round wedding band and i love it!
