The Wedding of Chad and Angie: Part 2- For Him

My last story was all about the bride Angie in "The Wedding of Chad and Angie: Part 1- For Her". What I didn't mention was that I also made a ring for the groom Chad, as well as cufflinks for him and his team of four groomsmen.

The cufflinks were extra special, as they featured motifs of deep symbolism for the groom and his family. Chad's mother sadly passed away in early 2010 after a battle with cancer. This darling lady had been quite a fan of the Phantom comics. So, as well as setting one of the theme colours for the wedding as a very Phantom shade of purple, Chad wanted some Phantom inspired cufflinks made. This iconic superhero wears two rings (one on each hand); the first symbolising the powers of good, and the second the powers of evil. The symbol representing 'good' is that of four crossed swords, whilst the 'evil' sign is a skull. I handcrafted each cufflink from two layers of sterling silver. The inside layer has an oxidised finish, whilst the top and sides are brushed.

On the wedding day, before heading out to help dress the bride, I ducked in to see the gentlemen getting ready for the big day and delivered the cuff links. "Good on the right?" I asked Chad, to which he replied "Nope, good on the left, closest to the heart". I must admit, I did tear up a little as I slipped the link through each cuff on my friend's shirt.

Onto Chad's wedding ring. It is made from solid white gold, with a slight groove running around the ring one third from the edge. The surface finish of the wide section is high polish, whilst the narrow part of the design is matte.

To finish off this couple's story, here are a couple of stunning images of Chad and Angie on their wedding day by photographer Craig Fenmor.

Congratulations Chad and Angie on your union and best wishes for your long and happy lives together. I am looking forward to being part of this couple's future stories.

Love from The Jeweller. xx
