Switching of symbols

Why do humans give their lovers just a golden ring? This is more intimate.
— Vampire to his lover.
 

Symbols:

Every vampire family has their own symbol, they adopted it from the noble families. Every member of the family has a pure gold Pendant with this symbol on it. There is no difference in pendants, the only thing that is divergent is the symbol on it.  

Switching:

When a man or woman loves another vampire and want to marry them. They will give their lover the gold pendant with their families symbol. This is their way to say you are welcome in their family. When the switch of the one pendant is made the other vampire will give their pendant. But after the marriage the bride will take over the symbol of the groom.    

First Switch:

Nobody really knows when the first switch took place. But what is known that some brides during the time of forced marriages, refused the switched.  

Armand and Vanessa:

It is rumored that the vampire crown prince Armand Barnier gave the human queen Vanessa Lazar his gold pendant when they were children. Charmed as she was she gave him her ring of pure gold with the symbol of a rose engraved on it. Of course Armand and Vanessa did not know what it meant. But the vampires today are saying that it was the first sign of their love and doom.  
With this symbol, I welcome you in to my family.
— Vampire to her lover.
 

After the switch:

The pendant needs to be worn by both parties until the wedding. With this they show that they want to be welcomed in to the family. It is really frowned if one of the two are not wearing the other symbol. After the First war it became a costume to have a Vampire Wedding in two weeks after the switch.
