The Etiquette & Tradition of the Ring
The wedding ring is the most symbolic piece
of jewellery that anyone can wear. The circle symbolises the unending
committment of one person to another and the use of the most noble
of metals, gold expresses the value of the relationship.
The wearing of rings to show a person's marital status goes back
to at least Ancient Rome. Indeed it is allegedly from the Romans
that we have the tradition of wearing the ring on the third finger
of the left hand, since they believed that the blood from this
finger went directly to the heart.
Once put on to the finger, the ring should only ever be removed
in exceptional circumstances.
Remember when choosing a ring that you will hopefully be wearing
it for the rest of your life, so make sure you choose one that
you are completely happy with. Cost should not be a factor when
choosing the ring since you will be wearing it long after the
cost has been forgotten.
