The tradition of wearing the wedding symbol on the third finger on the left hand stems from a fable from Ancient Greece that an artery called the vena amoris connected to that finger flows directly from the heart. Another less romantic theory is that the circlet originally derived from medieval times when captive women wore fetters. Or is the story true that it dated back as far as the cave men who used it as a token of good faith and friendship? Whatever story you choose to believe, the wedding ring is here to stay as a symbol of lasting love with both parties wearing them to reflect their eternal commitment.
Some European women wear the ring on their right hand, with Scandinavians often sporting three rings to symbolise engagement, marriage and motherhood. Jewish brides wear the ring on their index finger as they use that digit to point while they are reading the Torah
The practice of men wearing wedding rings only came into being during the middle of the twentieth century, when during World War II many faced lengthy separations from their loved ones and used the wedding band as a comforting reminder of their wives and families. This romantic gesture of love and affection happily survived, and nowadays the majority of men are still happy to go along with this public display of their fidelity and commitment.
The band does not have to be gold. The Romans used iron for its symbolic strength, but as it tended to rust happily gold and silver are now the most popular metals.
When choosing your wedding ring do not forget to take into account the width of your engagement ring. This should be measured on the side or base of the ring and not on the gemstone setting width on the top. This is important because the ring must fit comfortably in the space available between the base of your finger and knuckle. Also if you want to have two rings that complement each other and look as though they belong together, the widths should be in proportion. A very general guide is that the wedding ring should be the same width or just slightly wider than the engagement band
