Has Marriage Become Passe? -- CLEVELAND, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEVELAND, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a time when the number of couples getting married is declining, even as others fight for the right to marry, you can't help but wonder: Has marriage itself become passe? Half of all divorces occur within a marriage's first seven years. 40% of those who responded to a recent Pew Research Center poll said that marriage has become obsolete. But is marriage really going away, or just adjusting to changes in society? "Marriage is an important part of most people's lives," says Heather Moore , owner of Heather Moore Jewelry. Like having children, it helps define who you are, and the experiences that come with a committed relationship are timeless. Moore, whose company launches its first bridal collection at the prestigious Couture Jewelry Show in Las Vegas today, is at the forefront of the personalized jewelry movement. Customers design handmade pieces that commemorate the people, places, and events that are most important to them, and Moore's staff of artisans makes them in her Cleveland, Ohio studio. More than a dozen people in my company are getting married. That helped spark this collection," said Moore. I have always been motivated to document the times in life that have made a true impression on your character. We make an impression in the metal just like the story that you document has made an impression on your life. You have to embrace those moments and cherish who you are.
