"Happy Coronation", we wish the newlyweds, referring to the most important symbolism in the sacrament of marriage, the coronas. The coronation is perhaps the most touching moment of the mystery of marriage, uniting loved ones for the rest of their lives. Crowns symbolize the creation of a kingdom, a new family, a new home. The ribbon that always unites them symbolizes the unbreakable bond of the couple. Gold plated crowns KALFIDIS Jewellery made of silver 999 Wedding crowns have a long history...They first appeared in ancient Greece, when the couple wore wreaths woven from various plants dedicated to Aphrodite, symbolizing beauty, fruitfulness and harmony. In Byzantium, crowns were made of precious materials and resembled crowns, likening the creation of a family to the creation of a kingdom. Today, wedding crowns symbolize the union of the couple and can be found in a variety of designs. How do we choose the right crowns for our wedding? Our personal taste and aesthetics are always our allies , but there are some tips that we would suggest you consider before coming to your final choice.

We welcome spring with a tribute to wedding jewellery! Spring and Summer are definitely the favorite seasons for a couple to plan their wedding. The sunny weather invites us to organize our wedding as we have dreamed of, with a variety of options available for both the venue, the decor, the wedding dress and of course the jewellery. We begin our tribute with the wedding rings, the jewellery that is the protagonist of the wedding, symbolizing the bond and the beginning of the couple's journey together. Wedding Rings by KALFIDIS Jewellery in 18K yellow and white gold How do I choose the perfect wedding rings?Have you already said yes with the solitaire ring he has given you? Then it's time for you to choose the second most important ring of your life. How will you choose the perfect rings for you? It probably sounds simple, but it's not, since beyond aesthetics and taste, there are other factors to consider. Don't forget that this is a piece of jewellery that you will wear every day. The most important thing is to find the ring that suits both your personality and the demands of your daily life. Wedding Rings by KALFIDIS Jewellery in 18K yellow and white gold Here are some tips to help you find the perfect wedding rings for your wedding. 1.Start your research early:Many couples wait until the last minute to choose their wedding rings, thinking it's a simple process. It's a good idea to start your research three to four months before the wedding, especially if you want to have a special design made for you.2.Define the money you have to spend:How much do wedding rings cost and what is the amount you should set aside? The rings available on the market are varied and prices can range from 300 euros a couple to over 5,000. The factors that influence their cost are their material (gold, white gold, platinum, etc.), the carat grade (18K or 14K), their weight, their design and decorative elements such as exterior designs and precious stones.3.Choose the material:Once you have set the amount you want to spend on your wedding rings, the next step is to choose your material. Gold, platinum, titanium, but even palladium, tungsten or silver. There is a metal for every aesthetic and... budget. i.Gold plugs Like diamond for solitaire rings, gold is the most classic and widespread metal for wedding rings. The choices are many in both design, sizes, carvings, and shades of white, yellow and pink. Just like the "little black dress", gold wedding rings are always in fashion and can be easily combined with other jewellery and any look. For more durability and shine, choose 18K or 14K gold.

Wedding Rings by KALFIDIS Jewellery in 14K White Gold   4.Choose the wedding ring that matches your everyday life and aesthetics Once you have settled on the material of the wedding ring the next step is to come up with the style of the ring.You can find a wide variety of designs and many different suggestions. Classic wedding rings, modern, romantic, hammered, sandblasted or grained, two-tone, curved or plain, matte or shiny, with or without diamonds, the list of options and different styles is very long. Wedding Rings by KALFIDIS Jewellery in 14K white and yellow gold Choose the ring that you really like but keep in mind that you will be wearing this ring every day for many years, so make sure it doesn't get in the way of your everyday life. Its shape, weight and width are elements that will determine how comfortable it will be. So make sure to try different designs before you settle on one. Although there are no strict rules, we would advise that when you do your research, you should also bring your moniker with you so that you can pair it with your wedding ring. They don't have to match perfectly, of course. But it would definitely help you in your choice to see how these two rings look together, which, after all, could be worn on the same hand. Men are not used to wearing jewellery and usually want a ring that is simple and lightweight, so that it doesn't hinder their movements. Their most common choice in metal is white or yellow gold. If the bride-to-be wants her wedding ring in a different color of gold or with a more striking design, it is perfectly acceptable for the couple to choose two different rings. 5. Think about what you want engraved on the insideThe rings symbolize the union, the bond and the love of the couple. They are usually engraved internally with the name of our partner, the date of marriage or acquaintance, and sometimes couples choose to engrave a small phrase or word that is important to them.

Montblanc is inspired by the pioneering spirit of Phileas Fogg and presents the new Montblanc Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection, which includes the LeGrand & Classique, Doué and Solitaire editions. The collection brings to life the fascinating stories of Fillea Fogg during his journey around the world. It is the well-known novel written by Jules Verne in 1872, inspired by the new travel possibilities of the Victorian era. The hero of the book, Phileas Fogg, bets his entire fortune, claiming that he could leave London by train on 2 October, travel around the world passing through Suez, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York, and return to London on 21 December.Using steamships and trains, and an elephant, Fogg proves that almost anything is possible when one is determined and committed to a cause. The Montblanc collection tells the story of Phileas Fogg's adventure through various patterns and colours. The deep blue and ripples refer to his journey at sea, from the Suez Canal to Mumbai. The steamship drawn on the cap of the collection's pens symbolizes the main means of transportation for the book's heroes. Also, on the clip we notice the symbol of the black ace of spades which refers to the card game that was the reason for Phileas Fogg's bet. The Solitaire version also uses the balloon as a design linked to the story of Jules Verne. Although it is not used as a medium, the balloon is inextricably linked to the mythology that accompanies the book since there is the idea of the hero travelling with it. Discover the collection and embark, together with Phileas Fogg, on his magical journey.
