				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-4.html"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2599" alt="03-12-2013 I am my beloved's" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/03-12-2013-I-am-my-beloveds.jpg" width="523" height="368" /></a>A Christian wedding is more than just the joining of two people into a married couple. It’s also a celebration of the One who brought husband and wife together. Vows are made, not only in front of family and friends, but also before God, and when you slide rings onto each other’s fingers, you promise before Him to love and cherish one another. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Wedding-Bands-CWB.html">Christian wedding bands</a> that feature Bible verses allow you to make a statement of both your faith and your love in one striking piece.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-23.html"><img class="alignright" alt="14K White Gold " src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/Christian/BVR-23C.jpg" width="346" height="330" /></a>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-23.html">14K White Gold &#8220;In His Name&#8221; Bible Verse Ring</a> combines a Bible verse on the inside with a clear reminder of the One who brought you together and in whose name you become one. The words “In His Name” are laser inscribed on the outside, though if you prefer, you can replace this phrase with a favorite scripture reference or any other message. This message is placed inside a Celtic-inspired frame, and the knot motifs that are worked into it are symbols of the way that you and the one you love are being woven together as one by your creator. The inside of this meaningful ring is inscribed with a verse of your choice, allowing you to create a ring that’s especially significant to you and the one you love.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-15.html"><img class="alignleft" alt="" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/Christian/BVR-15C.jpg" width="285" height="221" /></a>If you’d prefer a ring that places a Bible verse on the outside, consider the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-15.html">&#8220;I Am My Beloved&#8217;s and My Beloved Is Mine&#8221; Wedding Band in 14K Gold</a>. This simple, meaningful ring is engraved with Song of Songs 6:3—“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”—in elegant script, making it a lovely reminder that the two of you belong to each other and that your love is a gift from God. These words stand out against the gleaming finish of the flat band upon which they’re written, creating a timeless symbol of the bond that you share with that one special someone. This ring is available in three widths, allowing you to choose one that fits your hand; it’s also available in 14K white gold and platinum if you prefer a cooler shine instead of a warm glow.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" alt="Song of Solomon Cross Wedding Band - White Gold" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/images/rings/BVR-4C.jpg" width="320" height="223" />The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-4.html">Song of Solomon Cross Wedding Band in White Gold</a> seems like a simple flat wedding band with a small symbol of faith, but it holds an extra message that only you and the one you love will know about. This shining band is engraved with the simple outline of a cross, placed front and center for all to see, while a verse of scripture is engraved inside, creating a reminder of the faith that holds you together. Choose from one of Apples of Gold’s suggested verses (such as a passage from the famous love chapter, I Corinthians 13), or select one of your choice, up to 225 characters, to make this ring a unique representation of the bond you share.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Cross-Wedding-Bands-CW.html">Cross wedding bands</a> and other <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Wedding-Bands-CWB.html">Christian wedding rings</a> that feature Bible verses capture your faith and your love. These rings celebrate both your relationship and the One who brought you together.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesus’ words on marriage are often heard at weddings, but sometimes they’re so familiar that we forget how powerful they are: “‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Wedding-Bands/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2133" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/01-21-2012-What-God-has-joined.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="325" /></a>Jesus’ words on marriage are often heard at weddings, but sometimes they’re so familiar that we forget how powerful they are:</p>
<p><em>“‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”  </em></p>
<p>When you say “I do,” God Himself binds you and the one you love together, allowing the two of you to truly become one. While all <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Wedding-Bands/">wedding bands</a> represent your connection to your spouse, those with extra touches of symbolism can be especially meaningful expressions of your bond.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/2U-5004.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000009/2U-5004C.jpg" alt="Two-Halves One Flesh Wedding Band Ring" width="305" height="311" border="0" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Wedding-Bands-CWB.html">Christian wedding bands</a> that feature Bible verses, crosses, doves or other emblems of faith are a popular way to celebrate that God brought you and the one you love together, but they’re far from the only way. Apples of Gold carries a number of wedding bands that communicate the connection between husband and wife with unique symbols of love.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/2U-5004.html">Two-Halves One Flesh Wedding Band Ring</a> presents a picture of marriage inspired by the very first words spoken about the unique relationship between a husband and wife, as recorded in the book of Genesis. Two contrasting halves, one of 14K white gold and one of 14K yellow gold, combine to form a modern symbol of two becoming one. These complementary metals meet in a waving seam that wraps gracefully around a flat 7mm band.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Celtic-E.html"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0px currentColor" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/celtic/Celtic-CL-EC.jpg" alt="Caedmon Celtic Wedding Band, 14K Two-Tone Gold" width="311" height="311" border="0" /></a>Celtic wedding bands are another meaningful way to represent your relationship. The continual knot motifs that are featured in these pieces have been adopted by many as symbols of eternity, making them ideal for communicating endless love. In addition, their intertwining nature forms a picture of the way that a husband and wife are woven together so that they share one another’s joys and sorrows.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Celtic-E.html">Caedmon Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold</a> is a striking example of the ability of Celtic designs to represent the bond that’s formed in a marriage. A strong, slightly angular knot motif wraps around this ring in seamless 14K yellow gold, while a 14K white gold background allows this knot to really pop. This shining contrast draws attention to the unique look of this ring, and to the meaning behind it.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/WED-C.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000015/WED-CC.jpg" alt="14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Ring" width="296" height="287" border="0" /></a>A braid can also symbolize the bond of a marriage relationship, as individual strands combine to create a single cord that’s stronger on its own than any strand could be alone. This is gorgeously demonstrated by the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/WED-C.html">14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Ring</a>. This designer style combines several textures to create a shining reminder of your unbreakable connection to each other. A braid of gleaming flat strands is hugged by elegant lines of milgrain and accented by smooth edges.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to celebrate your bond, try one of these uniquely meaningful <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Wedding-Bands/">wedding rings</a>. Each one is a beautiful picture of what God has joined together.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/"><img class=" wp-image-1428 alignleft" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/11-22-2012.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="359" /></a>Thanksgiving is a time to express our gratitude for the blessings we’ve been given. At Apples of Gold, we’re thankful for the opportunity to offer our customers stunning <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Wedding-Bands/">wedding bands</a>, <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gemstone-Rings-GEM.html">gemstone rings</a> and a host of other top-quality jewelry at significant savings.</p>
<p>When the Pilgrims set sail for the New World in 1621, they were seeking a new home where they could worship God in freedom. For the sake of this freedom they endured a grueling voyage across the Atlantic and a devastating winter during which over half of them perished.</p>
<p>However, <a href="http://applesofgold.com/HGO-OV38CTW.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/vintage-jewelry/HGO-OV38CTWC.jpg" alt="Victorian Floral Oval Citrine Ring in 14K White Gold" width="354" height="316" border="0" /></a>God had not forgotten them. By fall of 1621, He had blessed them with a bountiful harvest, which prompted the first Thanksgiving celebration. Edward Winslow, who served as governor of Plymouth Colony, wrote about this celebration: <em>&#8220;our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together &#8230; And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want.”</em></p>
<p>William Bradford, who served as governor of Plymouth Colony for over three decades, recorded the many ways that God provided for the colony in his diary, which was later published as “Of Plymouth Plantation.” In it, he wrote,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;padding-left: 30px"><em><a href="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/CR-1C-2.jpg"><img class="wp-image-1413 alignleft" src="http://applesofgold.com/jewelry/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/CR-1C-2.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="279" /></a>“What, then, could now sustain them but the spirit of God, and His grace? May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: “Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness; but they cried unto the Lord, and he heard their voice, and looked on their adversity &#8230; Let them confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.”</em></p>
<p>The Pilgrims had a lot to be thankful for, as do we. <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Gold-Crosses-CR.html">Cross pendants</a> are one way to express your thanks for the life that you’ve been given as a result of Christ’s sacrifice. The <a href="http://applesofgold.com/CR-1.html">Plain Men&#8217;s 14K White Gold Cross Pendant</a> is a powerful, straightforward symbol of faith that will bring to mind your gratitude every time you see it. This solid 14K white gold piece emulates strength and sleek, timeless style, making it a pendant that can be passed on to future generations. It can also be engraved on either side to make it an even more personal symbol of gratitude.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-15.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/graphics/Christian/BVR-15C.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="221" border="0" /></a>Love between two people is one of God’s great blessings, and <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Wedding-Bands-CWB.html">Christian wedding bands</a> capture a message of love without end and of the role that the Creator plays in sustaining that love. These rings are reminders that love is a gift, as well as prompts to give thanks for that gift. For example, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-15.html">&#8220;I Am My Beloved&#8217;s and My Beloved Is Mine&#8221; Wedding Band in 14K Gold</a> uses a verse from Song of Solomon to call to mind the blessing of belonging to one another.</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving from Apples of Gold! We’re blessed to provide you with jewelry to express your gratitude today and all year long.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Wedding-Bands/"><img class="alignleft" src="http://pbs.twimg.com/media/A6qANgoCIAIWbsE.jpg" alt="Embedded image permalink" width="435" height="305" /></a></p>
<p>A Christian wedding isn’t just a celebration of love between two people. It’s also a time to praise God for bringing those two people together and for giving them the ability to love one another as He loved them. Although this kind of love is out of reach by human standards, He makes it possible, and <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Wedding-Bands-CWB.html">Christian wedding bands</a> are a symbol of this gift of God.</p>
<p>In Mark 9, Jesus tells a father desperate for a miracle for his son that “All things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father cries out, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” Faith despite doubts was essential for this father and it’s essential for us, too. Just as Jesus restored this man’s son after his expression of faith, God often does the seemingly impossible when we believe in Him.</p>
<p>True love between two people is truly a miracle, and it’s one that only God can make possible. In a Christian marriage, God brings together two imperfect people, molding them into one and allowing each to make the other better. Christian wedding bands celebrate the wonder of two lives sharing life as one.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-24.html"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0px currentColor;" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/jewelry/wedding-bands/BVR-24C.jpg" alt="" width="305" height="232" border="0" /></a><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Bible-Verse-Rings-BVR.html">Bible verse rings</a> send powerful messages as they utilize portions of God’s word within styles ranging from minimalistic to ornate. By wearing wedding bands that contain Scripture, you honor the role that your faith played in bringing you and the one you love together, as well as the part it plays in binding you together in love.</p>
<p>Many wedding ceremonies declare the bride and groom “to be husband and wife, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Rings that contain representations of the persons of God, in whose name you and the one you love are joined as husband and wife, serve as continual reminders that are joined together, not only before men but before your creator.</p>
<p>From the outside, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/BVR-24.html">&#8220;Father, Son, and Holy Spirit&#8221; Wedding Band in 14K Gold</a> looks like a plain flat yellow gold band. However, inside it contains a reminder of the trinity: interspersed with crosses, the words &#8220;In the name of the Father,&#8221; &#8220;In the name of the Son&#8221; and &#8220;In the name of the Holy Spirit&#8221; are laser inscribed. This simple but meaningful ring is available in your choice of widths for a perfect fit.</p>
<p><a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Dove-Diamond-Trinity-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-AOGRG-1105W.html"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px currentColor;" src="http://applesofgold.com/Merchant2/christian-jewelry/AOGRG-1105WC.jpg" alt="Christian Dove Diamond Trinity Ring in 14K White Gold" width="400" height="314" border="0" /></a>Christian wedding bands that feature symbols of the Holy Spirit are pictures of the strength that God gives us through His Spirit to love one another selflessly. For example, the <a href="http://applesofgold.com/Christian-Dove-Diamond-Trinity-Ring-in-14K-White-Gold-AOGRG-1105W.html">Christian Dove Diamond Trinity Ring in 14K White Gold</a> features a silhouette of a dove—a symbol of the holy spirit—craved simply but with strength. A vertical line of three diamonds, representing the three persons of the trinity, accents this asymmetrical modern style.</p>
<p>The miracle of true love is one of the greatest earthly pictures of God’s love. If you’ve seen this wonder in your life, why not celebrate the miracle of love made possible with one of Apples of Gold’s Christian wedding bands?</p>
