History of wedding rings
Ancient Egyptians
The ancient Egyptians already had love rings, but they were not made of gold or silver. But these rings were made of the reeds that grew on the banks of the Nile. A ring, but no bling bling. The ancient Egyptians considered a ring to be a symbol of eternity. Just like time, a wedding ring has no beginning and no end. Not only the ring, but also the hole itself has a meaning. They saw this as a passage to all known and unknown situations in the life of the ring bearer. It was also a tradition to wear a wedding ring on the left hand on the ring finger. They thought that from this finger 'the vein of love' runs straight to the heart.
Romans
Our wedding ring tradition we inherited from the Romans. The Romans adopted the Egyptians' custom of wearing metal wedding rings. They also believed that the ring finger of the left hand is connected to the heart via the vena amoris (vein of love). They only discovered later that precious metals last longer than iron and bronze. They started making their wedding rings from silver and gold.
19th century to present
In the nineteenth century, Catholic women actually started wearing wedding rings. This way, everyone could see that the woman was engaged. The ring was worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This had been the ring finger since the Romans. They believed that this finger was the only one connected to our heart. Protestant women also started wearing wedding rings in the twentieth century. And in order not to appear Catholic, they wore them on the right hand. Of course, on the ring finger. Men only started wearing rings during the Second World War. When they were sent on a mission, they could always carry their wife with them and they had a beautiful memory of her. Nowadays, there is no wedding without rings. The wedding ring is infinite, just as marriage should be.
