The Deep Meaning of Wedding Rings in Marriage
The wedding band , this circular ring often worn on the left ring finger, has a rich and complex symbolism.
Beyond its aesthetic aspect, it embodies fundamental human and cultural values.
It is therefore time to take a look back at the historical and contemporary meanings of this precious jewel. 
Historical origin of the marriage alliance
The first alliances
The origins of wedding rings date back thousands of years. They were already present among the ancient Egyptians, who saw this ring as an eternal symbol of love.
The circle, without beginning or end, represented eternity and the perpetual bond uniting two people. 
Evolution over the centuries
In the Middle Ages, wedding rings were often hammered directly onto the wife's finger by the husband, symbolizing possession and protection .
It was not until the Renaissance that wedding rings became truly embellished and became valuable pieces of jewelry adorned with precious stones. 
Cultural and sentimental meanings
A symbol of love and fidelity
Traditionally, the wedding ring represents a mutual commitment between two partners. Each ring is a tangible testament to their love and fidelity .
Wearing a wedding ring therefore means much more than just wearing a piece of jewelry; it is a public act of emotional and spiritual commitment . 
The choice of the left ring finger
In many Western cultures, the wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger. This tradition dates back to the Romans, who believed that this hand had a special vein, called the "Vena Amoris" or "vein of love ," which led directly to the heart. Thus, placing the ring there symbolically sealed love close to the heart.
