WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT RINGS: THE HISTORY

WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT RINGS THE HISTORY

• The idea of wedding rings has dated way back to
  the ancient Egyptians when they used to exchange
  rings from braided reeds and hemp. They used to
  place the ring in the third finger of the left
  hand. It was a belief that the third finger of
  the left hand was connected to what is called the
  vein of love and it ran directly to the heart.
  The ring symbolised love and commitment to one
  another.

• Soon enough, wedding rings started becoming even
  more personalised. Through the Byzantine Empire
  to the 15th century, rings with figures of
  couples or more personal messages were engraved.
  To keep things extremely intimate rings with
  engraved on the inside. Posie rings were also
  very popular. A short intimate message inscribed
  within the ring at this time. Engraved rings are
  still popular for couples who go for more
  traditionally romantic rituals and symbols.

• With time the personal wedding rings became even
  more intricate and elaborate with multiple bands
  studded with multiple gemstones and diamonds.
  They were classified into multiple types and
  settings. One of the most intricate wedding rings
  was the Gimmel wedding ring dating back in the
  15-17th century. The rings were made up of
  multiple interlocking bands that would sum up as
  one whole ring.

• Well, there are no such rules any more than
  brides and grooms follow. Some go for the
  traditional type of rings while some go for
  minimalistic rings with a single stone band or
  plain bands. Although the ritual of wearing the
  ring in the third finger of the left hand is
  still followed and is therefore called the ring
  finger.
