Louise M. Comstock Horvetr reflects on June weddings and the ancient practice of wedding rings. She discusses the lack of elaborate rites in modern times and notes how jewelry symbolizes marriage through enduring materials and skilled craftsmanship.
The article traces wedding ring history from iron bands to modern diamond settings, noting ancient origins in Egypt and Asia, changes in finger placement, and the shift to platinum and diamond cuts around 1900. It highlights engravings, cultural practices, and the craft of diamond cutting and ring making, framing the 1928 wedding ring as a contemporary evolution.

Laura La Plante appears in a striped rose and gray silk blouse with a silver belt, while sports blouses feature diagonal stripes and horizontal accents for a modern, dressy yet practical wardrobe.
