Wedding Bands
The tradition of a woman wearing a gold wedding ring when a couple gets married is thought to date back to 860 AD, when Pope Nicholas I stated that a man should give his bride a gold wedding ring to show his personal financial sacrifice for her hand in marriage.
During World War II, men started to wear wedding bands to show their love and commitment to their wives back in their home countries.
And the tradition of wearing wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand can be traced back to the times of the ancient Egyptians who believed that a special vein vena amoris, the "vein of love", ran from the top of the fourth finger of the left hand directly to the heart.
When it comes to buying weddings rings or wedding bands, the only way to ensure you find wedding rings or wedding bands that will match both your tastes and styles is to discuss the various choices with your partner and then to go shopping for the rings together.
