Where Would I Go Online To Look Up 1926 Wedding Rings?
I was given my great great grandmothers wedding rings and I am interested in learning how much there were back then and what the weddings were like. I have searched everywhere online and have found nothing.

Weddings were very simple back then. A woman would have worn her best dress and gotten married at their local church, frequently right after Sunday church. White dresses weren’t popular until the 1950s.
Are you wanting a 20s theme or to know about actual 1920s weddings?
A wedding band would have been very thin. Only the bride would have received one. The practice of grooms receiving them wasn’t until WWII. Also the bride’s band would not have held diamonds. DeBeers didn’t start that marketing campaign until 1947. In the early 1900s, it would have been platinum but WWI restricted metal usage. Due to this shortage, gold became more common. Other metals became popular and the 1920s and 30s involved detailed bands engraved with orange blossums and wreaths.
The wedding would have cost next to nothing. Every state did not have a marriage license law until 1929. So this couple probably did not get a marriage license, only the close family was invited, and the only fees were a small donation to the church and a small meal to the family. Remember a HOUSE only cost 2000-3000 dollars. A car was $850. A wedding would have never been more than $20. The ring would have most likely been a piece handed down through the family or whatever stone was local.
However if you are interested in a 1920s theme wedding there are lots of sites on that.
