What Is A Wedding Band?

A wedding band is the ring you wear once you are officially married. While people traditionally wear the wedding ring on the left hand, some cultures wear it on the right. Ultimately, it is up to you and your partner to decide.

While women traditionally wear a sparkly engagement ring- New Window, wedding bands allow both spouses to enjoy the wedding jewelry excitement. So why not have fun with it and choose a wedding band that is unique to you and the story of your relationship.

The wedding band itself has historically been relatively simple. However, people have begun personalizing their wedding bands with diamonds, gems, and engravings. Couples can use their style and personal stories to choose and design a wedding ring unique to them.

Where Did The Wedding Band Tradition Start?

We can date the wedding ring back centuries to the ancient Egyptians. They viewed wedding rings as a symbol of eternal love and a gateway to the future.

As such, they chose to wear wedding bands on the ring finger of the left hand, which (mythology states) has a vein that runs to the heart. While many Western cultures continue this tradition, others don't. In some countries, like Spain, Norway, and Russia, couples wear the wedding ring on the right hand.

The style of modern wedding bands dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, when they used gold and precious stones to create rings. However, it wasn't until around the 12th century that the European Catholic church began using rings for a formal marriage ceremony
