  1. 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. 

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
