Paisley’s teardrop-shaped swirls create both an expression of spot-on style and a sense of timeless class. While paisley routinely shows up as part of vintage designs, its roots can be traced back much further than the Victorian Era. Paisley-like motifs harken from several parts of the world, including Ireland and South Asia. They showed in in numerous forms of art in India, such as shawls in Kashmir, and it’s through these shawls that paisley made its way to Europe. In the 18^th century, these shawls traveled to the England and became popular among the British.

Soon, British designs began mimicking this motif and paisley remained popular into the Victorian Era. The paisley wedding bands in Apples of Gold’s collection are inspired by this time period, and prove that the appeal of this pattern never fades.

Wedding ring sets that feature paisley motifs utilize centuries-old designs to create contemporary yet timeless symbols of your love. Choose a pair of these classy rings to serve as continual reminders that you carry a part of each other no matter where you go.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

This selfless unfailing love is expressed simply and beautifully in plain wedding rings, and wedding band sets that pair two of these rings are an excellent way to celebrate this love as a couple.

Wedding band sets with braided motifs add an extra measure of symbolism as they depict the weaving of two lives into one. In a braid, individual strands combine to form a cord that’s stronger than the sum of its parts—a perfect representation of the strength that results when two become one.

Milgrain edges frame this classy braid and add contrasting texture, while smooth, polished edges provide a simple but fitting finishing touch.
