Cultural differences of wedding rings

Since ancient times, Jews have a unique wedding tradition, that is, whether engaged or married, the bride must get a pledge from the groom, otherwise the wedding will be invalid. Later, Jews began to use rings as a universal symbol of love. The original Jewish wedding ring was a pure gold ring made of pure gold, symbolizing the purity of love. Until now, Jewish weddings are still indispensable for wedding rings.

In ancient Greece, men often put wedding rings on their newly married wives to show their ownership, which was also a warning to their wives to be loyal to themselves. Interestingly, the wedding ring in ancient Greece was not worn on the ring finger, but on the index finger. In ancient India, people wore wedding rings on their thumbs, and the modern popular custom of wearing wedding rings on their ring fingers originated in ancient Rome. The ancient Romans believed that the ring was a symbol of eternal love and happy marriage, and wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger could tie the hearts of lovers.

The custom of exchanging wedding rings at weddings originated in the United States after World War II, symbolizing the tacit understanding and mutual understanding between newlyweds in marriage and love. In Europe in the16th century, a unique "double-chain" ring appeared, which every couple would wear when they were engaged or married. In Russia, there is a "three-chain" ring symbolizing the trinity of the Holy Spirit, the Son and the Father, which can protect the happiness of new people. In Asian culture, gold wedding rings are the best choice for newcomers. People believe that wearing gold wedding rings can bring them good luck, happiness and wealth, which is also the embodiment of traditional culture.
