Wedding rings: A symbol of lifelong love and commitment
Wedding rings are symbolic circles of fidelity and eternity. When you buy a wedding ring, you are looking for something that will last you forever. Whatever your taste or budget, you are not making a frivolous purchase but intend to buy something you see yourself wearing for many years. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr.: “There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.”
It tells your story—about your love and a sacred union
The wedding ring symbolises not only marital status. Wedding rings formalise the union between two people and identify them as a couple in the eyes of their friends, family and society. When you see a wedding ring on someone’s finger, you know they are spoken for, and the message is clearly: “I am not available.” Above all, wedding rings stand for fidelity, being true to each other, and their commitment to stand by each other.

The ring finger
“With this ring, I thee wed.” The wedding ring is placed on the ring finger with these words we have heard so many times that they have become synonymous with marriage. Wedding culture and historic records show that wedding rings have been worn on any finger. However, in anglo saxon and western traditions, wedding rings are worn on the ring finger of your left hand because it is thought that, a vein leads directly from this finger to the heart! You might also find it interesting that, couples in Asia, Spain, Russia, Norway, and Germany wear their wedding rings on the right hand.
