How to wear wedding rings

The tradition of exchanging wedding rings came to us from Ancient Egypt, when newlyweds gave them to each other as a sign of love and fidelity on the day of the marriage. In those days, wedding rings were a symbol of power and with their help the pharaohs demonstrated their power and status to their subjects. A round strip of metal, which personified infinity and immutability, was the progenitor of the modern wedding ring. Centuries passed, and the custom of exchanging rings during a wedding spread across countries and continents. High-ranking nobles preferred rings made of gold, commoners were content with more modest jewelry made of other metals.

In ancient times, wedding rings were worn on the ring finger of the left hand, as it was believed that it was directly connected with the heart. The tradition of wearing wedding rings on the left hand is still common in many countries of Western Europe and America. In countries where the population professes Orthodoxy, it is customary to wear wedding ringson the ring finger of the right hand. In Israel, married women tend to wear their wedding ring on their index finger, while gypsies prefer to thread the chain through the ring and wear it around their neck.

The ceremony of giving wedding rings testifies to the deep feelings of the bride and groom, their strong desire to be together all their lives.
