In this period, wedding rings used to be worn on various fingers

Being the symbol of eternal love, unity and commitment, the cartier love bracelet pink gold replica is one of the most precious jewelry pieces a person can have. Its round shape recalls notions of the beautiful, blazing sun and arms that embrace, signifying purest sentiments of love and devotion that come back round again.

But, have you ever wondered what is hiding behind the tradition of wearing such a ring and most importantly, why soon-to-be married couples stick to this tradition so devotedly?

The custom of exchanging vows and Cartier Love Bangle replica  at the altar is considered one of the oldest marital traditions, although it has been changing over time across different civilizations and cultures in the world.

Historical reports say that the first appearance of the wedding ring took place in Ancient Egypt, around 3,000 years ago. The translated hieroglyphics of Ancient Egyptians are proving that they cherished the wedding ring as a symbol of enduring love between a man and a woman. Their Hermes Enamel Bracelet replica  were mostly made of braided reeds into the traditional circle-form. In fact, the hole in the center of the ring represented a door or a gateway leading to future events.

The tradition of wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is actually dating back to this era, when Ancient Egyptians for the first time in history, created the universal belief that there is a vein of love running from the left hand’s fourth finger straight to the heart itself. The vein was originally named as ‘Vena Amoris’.

Consequently, the belief was accepted by all the other primeval cultures and continued to be carried out across time up to present day. An interesting thing about the Egyptian wedding-ceremony tradition is that it was the man who put the van cleef arpels alhambra replica on his finger and the finger of his wife, signifying his masculine power and the confidence he has in his wife’s ability to take care of the house and the children.

Since rings made of reed showed to be not durable, Ancient Egyptians started making sterling silver van cleef arples replica of bone, ivory and leather. Hence, the more expensive the material of the wedding ring was, the greater the value of the ring and the richness of the giver.

Since the golden Cartier Necklace Replica was expensive and precious, the Roman wife wore her wedding ring only in public and not while performing the household work. Hence, the wedding-ring substitute for home use was a plain, betrothal ring made of iron, also known as ‘Anulus Pronubus’. Very often, this iron ring featured a small key shape that signified permanence, strength and control over the possessions of the ring’s giver.
