Traditionally made of a precious metal, the Wedding Ring or Band signifies the union of individuals and the fidelity of marriage.
The custom of some countries require that this iconic piece of jewellery be worn on the right hand, while it is traditional in Britain and most of the West to keep it on the fourth finger of the left hand since a vein in this finger, the vena amoris, runs directly to the heart, the seat of love. The use of metal to signify a bond dates back as far as there have been chains. And the Wedding Band, distinctly uncomplicated when compared to the Engagement Ring, represents the eternal nature of the bond. Some cultures define the hole in the centre as a symbolic gateway through which the new awaits.
For a nod to opulence, some couples prefer to engage a child as a ring-bearer, though it usually the Best Man who keeps these precious items until required.
Whether choosing from gold, silver or platinum, it is best to remember that this particular item is designed to be worn by each of the betrothed for the remainder of marriage and should be of the highest quality and a comfortable size.
While this emblem of marriage is the most obvious piece of jewellery for any Bride, weddings often occasion more than this elegant ring.
