Which hand wear a wedding ring?

It is customary for Slavic peoples to wear a wedding ring on their right hand. This tradition has developed since ancient times.

In the West, everything happens a little differently. Initially, the future husband puts on the ring finger of the left hand of his chosen one. On the day of the wedding, this ring must be removed so that you will never again contact it. The commemorative decoration becomes a family heirloom. It is passed down from generation to generation.

Charming wedding rings were worn in ancient Egypt. Only wealthy women could afford them. They put jewelry on the ring finger, like their chosen ones.

The story goes that wedding rings were always worn on the ring finger of the right or left hand. The location of the jewelry has always depended on the religion and traditions of a particular people. But do not think that such a significant thing should be worn exclusively on the right hand or finger “without a name”.

Pay attention to Americans and Europeans. Today, the European tradition of ringlet socks depends on the faith of the bride and groom. They put the accessory on the ring finger.Jews even decorated the middle or index finger with a wedding ring.

In Russia, the traditions associated with the wearing of this significant ring come from the Orthodox faith. We are baptized from right to left, therefore the right side itself is more correct and sincere for us.

The Catholic Church has a completely different opinion. Catholics believe that the left hand is closer to the heart. For this reason, they wear wedding rings on this particular arm.

But Catholics from Armenia, Germany and Poland act differently. They wear jewelry on their right hand.

In our country, the symbol of love and fidelity is worn on the ring finger of the right hand. It is believed that the right side is truly honest and correct. But in fact, there is no mention in history that jewelry was worn on any particular side. The main condition was only the ring finger.

• For example, platinum jewelry not only looks expensive, but also lasts as long as possible. They are difficult to damage or scratch. Externally, such instances resemble noble silver or white gold, but their properties and characteristics are very different from each other.

• A wedding ring made of white or pink gold of 585 tests will look beautiful and attractive on a ladies' finger. Such metals are used a little less often than the classic yellow alloy, but this does not make them less attractive.

• Long and full fingers will look harmoniously with wider decorations (7-8 mm).
• If you are the owner of short and full fingers, then you should turn to thin rings, the width of which does not exceed 3 mm.

When choosing ideal models, pay attention to their surface. She must be in perfect condition. Chips, cracks and scratches should not be.

Engagement is an ancient tradition, during which a man proposes to his beloved and asks her family for her hand. This happens before the main wedding ceremony.

At this moment, a special engagement ring is presented to the girl as a gift. As a rule, it has a special charm and confirms the serious intentions of a strong man - the future head of the family.

In Soviet times, this custom was not addressed. Today the situation has changed, and people again adhere to the most ancient Russian tradition. Even in the distant past, engagement rings showed a man’s desire to marry his girlfriend.

From ancient times it was believed that only a lady could wear such a product. She should not have removed the ring or put it on the other finger, as this was a bad sign. This also applied to the situation when the bride gave jewelry to try on her friends or sisters.

The most suitable engagement options are thin rings of yellow or white gold. They may have a large pebble in the middle. Pay attention to accessories with diamonds. They are one of the most beautiful and spectacular.

In real life, the rings can be very different from what you saw in the movie. It is better to gently hint to your beloved about what ring you want to see on your finger in order to avoid disappointment.

Before the wedding ceremony, the ladies wear jewelry on the ring finger of their right hand, and after marriage they change clothes on their left. Some brides do differently: they just put an engagement ring on the engagement ring. In such a tandem, they hold a wedding celebration and a long time after the holiday. But this option is not the most successful, as it can lead to damage to accessories and discomfort during wear.

Sometimes, before the wedding, the ladies wear jewelry dear to the heart on the ring finger of their right hand, and after the ceremony they put them in a separate box and put on only for special occasions.

An engagement ring can be worn on any other finger, especially if the lady has recovered a little over time, and the product has become small. There is nothing to be afraid of: if you move the jewelry, it will not become less bright and attractive.
