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.
