If you want to understand the meaning of a sign, look not at the thing, but at its symbolism, meaning, at the images that arise in your mind. After all, it is not the object itself, but its meaning in the psychic field that influences us. Wedding ring- a symbol of marriage. Therefore, everything connected with the ring is transferred to interpersonal relationships paired with. It cracked, darkened, got lost, fell - it is believed that the same will happen to the fate of the marriage. This is how our thinking works. This is how superstitions are born. Faith in empty vanity. It’s sad and offensive when people worry because of signs, but not because of their own attitude towards themselves and their partner. All the stories below are true. If there are mystical coincidences, I write about it honestly. These are rare special cases.

1. An uneven surface of a wedding ring means family life with scandals and breakups. What is behind the desire to buy an unusual—not like everyone else—engagement ring? Perhaps the bride and groom are still children at heart and want to play at the wedding: a limousine, guests, White dress, exclusive ring. Or they are used to getting everything the best, they are spoiled. Or they pay more attention to the external side of life: wealth, beauty. Or they like to show off. If this is the case, then problems in their future relationship are inevitable. But not because of the ring, but because of the newlyweds’ unpreparedness for the difficulties of marriage.

A friend got married in July. Her ring is smooth, and on front side at intervals there are four large diamonds. They said it was impossible. They now live through the cracks: sometimes they make peace, sometimes they quarrel, sometimes they even fight.

My friend was dissuaded from buying a newfangled engagement ring (one spins inside the other + stones). She was told that the ring should be smooth, symbolizing stability. But she chose beauty. But life with my husband really didn’t work out. At first we lived quite richly, then drugs and quitting our jobs, then theft and slot machines. Now my husband is sitting. This is probably how superstitions are born or justified?

The uneven surface of the ring can be looked at differently. Do not be afraid of difficulties, be ready to overcome them, as the couple did in the story described below.

“My husband and I recently lost our rings. Now we want to get married. When they first bought it, they approached it with superstition, so that they could buy smooth ones and so that life would be smooth. And now we will buy ribbed ones to reflect the difficulties married life.

2. For strong and happy marriage rings must be gold. There is a belief that choosing a traditional gold ring will help build a strong marriage. And I can give you examples. But remember that this is a newfangled sign, since the ability to buy expensive rings was not at all times. Our grandmothers made do with simple copper ones. I don’t think that the choice of material plays a mystical role. More likely, household. If the young people are so poor that there is no money for rings, then build life together it will be much more difficult. Love does not always stand the test of lack of money.

They say you can’t change such a tradition as gold rings. Some of my friends decided to buy silver ones. Three months after the wedding, they unexpectedly had a big quarrel and ran away. We tried to persuade them with the whole staff, but they just don’t want to put up with it.

Gold rings became available only in the 60s; before that, rings were either not worn at all, or copper and silver were worn. Both my grandmothers have copper rings! They got married to them in the late 40s and early 50s. One of the grandmothers bought gold only in the 70s. It was like an investment and a symbol of wealth. The second one hasn’t worn a ring at all since she got married on the sly. Gold was available to a very small segment of the population; usually these were earrings and rings as jewelry.

3. Orthodox Christians cannot wear a wedding ring on their left hand, only on their right. Orthodox Christians usually wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of the right hand. Why this happened, no one really knows. This tradition has come a long time ago and is firmly rooted in consciousness. Now a superstition has arisen that wearing a ring on the left (unclean) hand is dangerous. And in other countries, on the contrary, they wear the ring on this side, closer to the heart. It is well known that the church is against superstitions. Often in our hearts we know that a relationship is not destined to last, and we send ourselves signs. Do you believe that if you put a ring on your left hand once, you will definitely get divorced?

I always knew (by the way, I don’t remember where) that when married, an Orthodox wedding ring can only be worn on the right hand and under no circumstances on the left. I got married and planned to live with this man all my life, not in the sense that I was euphoric, but in the sense that I was going to build a family. I usually took the ring off at night. And then, about a year and a half later, I take the ring in the morning and just like that, confidently put it on my left hand. And I stand there, looking at him dumbfounded. Then I tell myself that it’s okay, it’s all nonsense, I need to forget it quickly. I didn’t tell anyone anything and, however, I soon forgot. And I remembered after the divorce...

4. You can’t twist a wedding ring on your finger - you’ll get divorced. A wedding ring is a symbol of a sacred union, a special decoration. Therefore, a frivolous attitude towards a sacred thing is considered unacceptable: throwing it, twisting it. In addition, others are often annoyed when they fiddle with hair, the edges of clothes, and jewelry. Surely someone will pull it. And this is simply a sign of emotional tension hidden within strong feelings:

An acquaintance, when his wife started cheating on him, was outwardly so calm. Only he twisted the ring so hard that we even told him about it.

There are many absurdities: “If a wife buys socks for her husband, the husband will leave. If he’s cowards, he’ll change.” It’s easier not to get married at all than to follow all the rules.

My husband and I have been spinning as a couple for 12 years now. We calm the nerves.

5. The wedding ring has turned black - unfortunately. It happens that the ring turns black. This is considered a bad sign. Although the reason may be a cheap alloy. Or the biochemistry of the body, the skin interacts closely with the ring. During times of stress and strong experiences, hormonal levels change. But, I must admit, there are such coincidence signs, warnings of fate, especially often associated with amulets (for example, crosses, icons, rings).

My wedding ring turned black a month after my wedding. There is no allergy to gold. I went to the jeweler. He said it was the first time he had seen this. The gold is good and the ring is black. Cleaned it. After 2 weeks it turned black again. It reflected our life. I left my husband when my daughter was 6 months old, my husband chased me with a knife when I had my daughter in my arms. Was there a sign from above?

I really believe that ring stories can be harbingers of destiny. My husband also lost a ring, and immediately we began to suffer. As soon as he took a mistress, my whole finger under the ring turned black, I was scared to death, I went to church, and there the grannies said, they say, it’s a sign from above, a warning. Well, that’s right, after we got divorced, I wore the ring for a long time, and it never turned black. So don’t believe in omens after this!

7. Losing a wedding ring means divorce. This is the most famous and most controversial sign. It is very frightening, therefore it is dangerous due to the negative programming of spouses. Rings are often lost right at the wedding, because the hands are used for active manipulation, so it’s easy for them to get caught and drop. Many people get divorced, but not because of the rings. Gloves, wallets, keys, crosses, earrings, flash drives, glasses, documents disappear. And the wedding ring, once you lose a little weight, easily slips off your finger. Those who have had to go through a divorce will readily blame the failure on a bad omen. It is important to remember that the loss of a ring on a symbolic level is a sign of release from obligations. It happens that people try to intentionally or unconsciously get rid of it if their spouse has had enough of it. That is, first the desire to break up appears in the soul, and then the ring is lost.

And one friend’s husband came home from work and said that he had lost his ring. And then they got divorced and sorted things out. He admitted that he sold it to a pawnshop and squandered the proceeds with his mistress.

My friend got divorced after losing her ring. True, she was already on the verge of divorce, and the loss of the ring only reassured her of her decision.

When 3 years ago a child broke a mirror into 2 parts, my husband then left us for his mistress. They also said, don’t believe in omens. And he left and still hasn’t returned. A week before he chose her, I lost my engagement ring.

8. You can’t wear other people’s wedding rings—you’re taking over the fate of your former owners. Another ambiguous sign. There are many conflicting opinions on this topic. I think it's important to trust your heart. Do you want to wear the wedding ring of your mother-in-law, mother, grandmother? How easy and comfortable do you feel from this thought? Are you afraid of invisible energy? Or, on the contrary, do you feel the protection and patronage of your ancestors? Answer the questions and it will become clear whether you need to take someone else’s or should you buy a new one.

Before our wedding, my mother-in-law also ordered rings for my husband and me from her wedding ring, hers was so thick. The rings turned out great. I don’t worry about the fate handed down to me; she and her husband have been living together for 35 years! I wish them as many more! So, if you transfer their marital fate to us, I am all FOR it!

I felt sorry for the money for wedding rings; a wedding is already an expensive affair. I wear my mother’s ring, and my husband wears the ring he married for the first time. We polished them in a jewelry shop. My husband immediately took off his ring: he got caught in it several times at work and almost got injured. I wear mine without taking it off.

My opinion: a wedding is new life, which the young will build themselves, with clean slate. And therefore the rings must be new! As an example, I’ll give you the story of my friend. Their rings weren’t new either; she got them from her great-grandmother. He has it left over from his father, whom his mother divorced almost immediately after the birth of her son. Their life is terrible. He goes for walks and likes to drink. Many times they broke up and got back together because of the child. There are no normal relationships. Everyone lives as they want.

But in our first marriage, we went to the registry office with rings “rented”: one from a friend, she kept it after the divorce, and the second was my mother’s engagement ring; although she and her father did not divorce, they did not live together. The first marriage fell apart quickly, and it was somehow... painful for both. It seems to me that it is better to buy new rings, even inexpensive ones, even if they are not made of precious metal: you can then buy others for some anniversary.

I daresay new engagement rings don't always mean happiness. In experience: the first marriage with completely “fresh” rings and broke up, and the second - with the rings of my husband’s deceased parents. Unfortunately, I did not recognize these BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, but I am sure that only in a loving family could such a wonderful person grow up - my HUSBAND. I took their wedding rings to church and they were lit up there. We have been married for seven years. Happy. We wish the same for you!

In no case!!! No used jewelry, no earrings, no brooches, no rings!!! All the energy accumulated by the item from its previous owners will go to you!

9. You can’t throw the ring on the floor - it will be offended. In family life, the most important thing is sanity and the ability to understand your spouse. If you want to preserve the family hearth without hurting the ring, but pestering your spouse with superstitions, tears, and insults, then such a task is hardly feasible. It is not the abandoned ring that destroys the marriage, but your selfishness, hysteria and anger. In the heat of conflict, the rings are thrown onto the floor and out the window, wherever necessary. But the fate of a marriage is decided by a woman’s ability to cope with her emotions of anger, fear, resentment, and helplessness. If you are not taking care of your spouse, but are worried about the ring - God help you!

In a fit of emotion during an argument, the husband threw his wedding ring on the floor. Reconciliation followed, and, naturally, he put it back on. I read that you shouldn’t throw a ring, it might get offended. Even if people make peace, the cracks in the relationship will only grow, leading to separation. My husband doesn’t believe in all this, but he sees how nervous I am and cry all day. I am a very emotional and impressionable person. Is it true? And how to avoid this? If this is really the case, then how to “reconcile” the wedding ring and make sure it doesn’t get “offended”? I read a lot of forums and already surfed the Internet this morning. Many people say you can’t do this (even though you’ve done it), but there’s not a single word on how to fix it.

And an acquaintance at his own wedding, in a fit of rage, threw his ring into a snowdrift. Naturally, they didn’t find it. They have been living for more than 15 years.

10. In order for the marriage to be strong and the spouses not to separate, you need to wear rings constantly. A most dangerous superstition that can cost you your health. There are activities where wearing a ring on your finger increases the risk of injury. I myself know a wonderful man, an excellent family man, who tore off his finger while jumping off the side of a truck. The ring caught on the piece of iron. This did not affect the marriage in any way, but there is no finger. For a woman it’s even more complicated: the body changes with pregnancy and childbirth. Swelling begins, weight gains, and for some reason few people are in a hurry to adjust the ring to a new size.

My fingers became swollen during pregnancy. I came home and... God, what kind of sausages are these?! So what should we do now? The nameless man turned blue under his wedding band. The husband says: “If you don’t take it off by the evening, we’ll go to the emergency room.” I understand everything, but I CANNOT allow myself to cut up my engagement ring. I don’t really believe in omens, but it’s TABOO. My talisman. In total, four hours, alternately lubricating your fingers with anti-edema gel, holding your hands under ice water, covered in soap and vegetable oil, turning the ring by the thread, I did THIS!

Read what this sometimes leads to. Be smart!

And my husband recently almost lost his finger because of his wedding ring—the ring got caught on some piece of metal at work. Thank God it worked out. And just before this incident, I was boasting to a friend that my husband never takes off his ring. She boasted and jinxed it.

I know a case from my mother's friends. My husband also persuaded me not to take it off. And during childbirth and after, when she was in the hospital, this began! I almost lost a finger: there was a rush of blood or something. During childbirth, she screamed from pain in her finger, not from contractions! And after giving birth, a carpenter sawed it off for her right on the birthing chair. So her finger probably didn’t move at all for a month. And now it’s bigger than the others, the hematoma has turned into a lump. And the wedding ring certainly won’t fit now.

The strength of a relationship depends to a large extent on character traits; many stories of strong marriages confirm this. I myself don’t believe in omens; my husband and I don’t wear wedding rings.

Dad sold his ring immediately after the wedding. Mom doesn’t wear hers at all because she doesn’t like rings. And they’ve been living together for over 30 years. There was never even a conversation about divorce.

11. You must take off your rings at night, otherwise your sex life will go wrong.

There is such an opinion. Decide for yourself whether to follow it.

By the way, do you know why they wear rings on the ring finger? And they also recommend renting at night? It seems that in China they found out that the ring finger is responsible for sexual energy. You put a ring on your finger - oops, and you don’t want anyone... They’ve stifled your energy... So they wear it so that it doesn’t stand on others. And they rent houses so that they want a husband and wife. I follow the advice, we are fine in bed.

Why is there a need to follow signs? Choosing a life partner, wedding, marriage are the most important milestones in our lives that determine the fate of a person and his children. I myself have been married for 17 years and very happily. But I will say that it is still not an easy matter to build a common life with another person, especially if children are born. The responsibilities increase exponentially! It’s good if you can rely on the experience of your parents and grandparents: on the experience of the generations whose continuation you are. If their family life was happy, then you are calm and signs don’t bother you much. They managed it, so can you. We're just repeating. But if our parents had scandals, there was a divorce, trouble, the pain of betrayal, or, on the contrary, long loneliness, we ourselves - the first in the family - must build strong and warm relations. Think for yourself how easy task? Often young people try to find support outside themselves, for example, in omens. Therefore, there are many wedding superstitions. Be critical of signs, do not believe their forecasts without analysis and comprehension.

My cousin caused a terrible scandal when they tied a yellow ribbon to the car. Everyone here says that yellow at a wedding to parting. So she started to get angry and almost canceled the wedding. They met her halfway and removed this tape. She calmed down. The wedding took place, and six months later they divorced. She simply has such a character that no one can live with her. That's all superstition is.

For a long time, a wedding ring has been associated with the strength and fidelity of marriage. However, recently one has noticed a considerable number of married people who prefer not to wear this element, which symbolizes the strength of the marriage bond. At the same time, one should not make hasty conclusions by attributing unproven characteristics to such men.

It is important to understand why this or that person does not consider it necessary to put a wedding ring on his finger.

Why do people wear wedding rings?

In order to draw certain conclusions regarding married people who do not wear wedding rings, it is advisable to reflect on the question: “Why exactly do they put a ring on the ring finger?” As is known, despite the ancient tradition, there is currently no need to put wedding rings on the fingers of those getting married; with the modern marriage procedure, this action is not required. There are no laws requiring you to bring a wedding ring with you to the registry office for marriage. Young people can get married without having such an element of decoration with them. At the same time, an unmarried person can easily afford to wear a wedding ring, if he considers it necessary, without getting married. A young man, conditionally engaged to his girlfriend, can, if desired, put on a ring as a sign of devotion and love in a fit of youthful maximalism.

Wearing a wedding ring (for all its paramount importance) is not an accurate determinant or proof that a man is legally married. Girls, due to their emotionality and penchant for romanticism, sometimes wear a wedding ring on their ring finger as a sign of devotion to their groom long before the wedding day. Thus, the meaning of the ring should be determined as a kind of symbolism that does not oblige one to enter into a marriage bond for life. For some people, wearing a wedding ring in marriage is still important. The reason is usually appropriate upbringing, a model for example on the part of parents who considered it obligatory to always have a ring with them.

Reasons why married people don't wear a ring.

Since the tradition of wearing a ring is passed down from generation to generation, some people consider it important to observe it. At the same time, the new passage of time has changed man's perception and his views on various outdated traditions. Today it is quite common to see married people who are skeptical about wedding rings. If a person considers feelings to be more important than conventions and there is mutual understanding, love between the spouses in a marriage, and there is also confidence in the partner, there is no need to confirm one’s feelings and fidelity with the help of such symbolic decorations. This case refers to people who do not adhere to generally accepted ancient rituals, but at the same time there is no reason to doubt their sincerity and reliability.

If the husband stopped wearing a wedding ring.

Some married men wear a wedding ring at the request or insistence of their spouse. At the same time, it is impossible to be confident in a person who is capable of negative actions, even if he wears a wedding ring and never takes it off. Among the reasons why a married person may refuse a ring are inconvenience, unpleasant sensations on the finger while performing certain work. In this case, the man’s field of activity is not important, since the presence of the ring can cause some discomfort in any case. If a husband unexpectedly refuses a ring, this does not at all indicate his infidelity or desire to leave the family.

Unlike women, men are more indifferent to this kind of jewelry (as well as rituals) and most often do not want to wear things that cause even the slightest inconvenience. It is quite possible that after many years of marriage, the spouse considers the marital bond to be strong enough that it does not require confirmation in the form of a wedding ring.

For what reasons married woman doesn't wear a wedding ring?

I read all the answers carefully)) Here are probable special cases when wearing a wedding ring for a woman becomes inappropriate and even impossible: thickening of the ring finger of the right hand with age, production reasons, economic reasons, inconvenience when driving a car, all kinds of allergic reactions, financial problems - etc.

But, as I understood from the question (and sub-questionnaire), the author is not interested in individual cases, but in today’s objective reasons for women not wearing wedding rings. The author rather wants to understand the current trend: why do most women today not wear wedding rings?

Speaking seriously or jokingly, I will still add from my recent observations of women in the Moscow metro. Sometimes, in order to quickly cover the distances of the capital’s subway, I set myself some task, for example: counting the number of women in the carriage with wedding rings on their fingers.

My statistics, of course, are very relative. But still, based on it, I managed to draw some conclusions for myself: wearing wedding rings is not a trend today! According to my observations, about one in a hundred women today can be seen wearing a traditional wedding ring.

It turns out that no one wants to wear wedding rings today - neither young people nor old. And why it became unfashionable to wear rings, one can only guess. It can be assumed that the circularity does not mean anything and does not foreshadow anything definite in life.

As a recent well-known example: a couple recent years television constantly and clearly demonstrated the wedding ring on the finger of our president. And in the end, the personal story ended in an unexpected divorce))

But my statistics are exactly the opposite. I don’t really count, I just look at my hands (carefully).
Moreover, I began to notice that there was a noticeable increase in men with wedding rings :-)

I believe. But, nevertheless, your statistics on the Moscow subway seemed very relative to me)) Since it is known that you were born “with gasoline in your blood” - and you cross the capital’s expanses exclusively while driving))

Yusha, unfortunately not. Firstly, there are traffic jams, and secondly, a tank of gasoline for 1500 rubles disappears instantly. And thirdly, movement is the only form of human existence. I love to walk)
And that’s exactly what I noticed about the rings. I'll look more closely)))

Indeed, several years ago it became fashionable among men to wear wedding rings, especially among businessmen and officials. They say that a married, family man has more respect and trust, especially from foreign businesses.

They (men) are now putting rings right in their noses - “here! I’m married! Have you all seen it?”)))))))))
If you have to go to your mistress, you can put the ring in your pocket and put it back on later. Very comfortably:-)
The institution of marriage and rings are needed if there are feelings, sincerity and confidence in the partner. If they are not there, it is better not to lie to yourself, and not to say, like one of my friends, “I love my husband very much,” and a little later, “he is a monster.” He is not a monster, but you invented love for yourself and wanted to play with it, but there were no real feelings.
In general, if people went to the registry office and married those they didn’t love, there’s nothing to complain about later. He won't tolerate it and won't fall in love.

When preparing for a wedding, people choose for themselves, but few of them have seriously thought about where this tradition came from. It turns out that it is rooted deep in the past and is shrouded in all sorts of romantic legends.

According to many historians, it arose in Ancient Egypt, there noble women wore rings made of gold and silver, and less rich ones made of clay and glass.

In Rome, wedding rings made in the shape of a key were popular; men gave them to their loved ones as a sign that the woman would share all the sorrows and responsibilities of her husband. The very process of exchanging rings is imbued with the meaning that a piece of a loved one will always be nearby. Unfortunately, at present, wedding rings have remained only a tradition that has lost its original meaning. Some men and women do not want to wear this symbol of marital fidelity on their finger at all, considering such a sign to be a stupid and useless game.

Wedding rings are a nuisance

The refusal of men to constantly wear a wedding ring is understandable to many, but why the fair sex increasingly refuses to wear it is unclear. Some women believe that constantly wearing a ring is harmful to health, since there are sensitive points on the hand that are closely connected with certain organs.

Wearing a ring for a long time can lead to health problems.

Some women do not wear a wedding ring to an interview, so they want to hide their age and the presence of children. Other women believe that wedding rings interfere with further career advancement. It turns out that employers may think that a family man will not give 100% at work. Modern representatives of the fair sex want to be successful in their careers, because, in their opinion, being a housewife is not fashionable. They believe that housewives are unsuccessful, lazy, stupid and uninteresting women. That is why family values relegated to the background, the time comes for selfish people who think only about themselves.

In addition, women have to perform many different household tasks. They wash, iron, clean, cook, wash dishes. Some girls claim that any rings on the finger interfere with certain tasks or can be damaged.

On the wedding day, important symbols of the unity of two loving hearts become wedding rings. There are many superstitions and signs associated with these accessories, by which one can judge whether happiness and harmonious relationships await the newlyweds in the future. Attention is paid appearance, the metal from which the jewelry is made, the size and preservation of these attributes of marriage subsequently.

Beliefs and signs about wedding rings exist in order to understand the importance of these accessories and handle them correctly after the wedding. Wearing jewelry carelessly can bring disaster to one or both spouses.

Wedding rings are a symbol of marital fidelity and love

Popular signs

There are several most common signs about the jewelry of the bride and groom:

• It is believed that symbols of marriage can be purchased in advance, but after the proposal has been made.
• It is very important to buy wedding bands for the bride and groom at the same time.
• One of the signs refers to cases where the engagement ring is lost for some reason. This event marks the illness of one of the spouses, a long separation of the couple or a near discord, after which the relationship will end.

This sign appeared for several reasons. Firstly, the decoration serves as a talisman for the young. Secondly, jewelry on the ring finger signals to others that the man or woman has a family.

But there are signs with the opposite meaning. Some modern couples believe that if a husband or wife has lost their wedding card, this means getting rid of old problems, quarrels, and starting married life with a clean slate.

• If the engagement amulet is missing, it is important to protect the family from unpleasant consequences. To do this, the one of the couple whose jewelry has been preserved takes the jewelry to the temple as a donation.
• If a ring is lost, spouses should purchase one to avoid divorce white rose, consecrate it in the church and place it in a vase of water at home in a visible place. The remaining decoration is placed in the same container. When the flower dries, they keep it in the house as a talisman. If a husband or wife loses the second remaining ring, this will not affect their relationship in any way.
• If the jewelry falls off the finger, only the spouse should put it back on, and not the one who dropped it. Then nothing threatens family happiness. According to superstition, a wedding amulet that suddenly falls from your finger to the floor means a serious illness of the husband or wife.
• Wedding couple jewelry symbolizes marital fidelity, so the ring cannot be removed, pawned, or sold during marriage. In this case, a person deliberately deprives himself of happiness by exchanging it for money, which is bad omen. It is forbidden to part with jewelry that belonged to a deceased spouse.
• After a divorce, on the contrary, it is important to immediately get rid of the symbol of a broken marriage by any means possible. Otherwise, he will prevent the creation of a new family.
• If the husband does not wear wedding jewelry, nothing bad will happen. Representatives of the stronger sex do not like jewelry; it interferes with work.

If the ring is stolen, a love spell can be cast on it in order to take the husband or wife away from the family. It is recommended to buy a new pair of rings and donate the rest of the old set to charity.

• According to superstition, if a wedding ring suddenly bursts, this may be a sign of betrayal. It happens that the decoration is cracked due to low-quality materials, but you should be wary and pay attention more attention on the behavior of the second spouse.
• Skeptics believe that if the wedding ring is bent, broken, or cracks appear on it, one should not come up with mystical reasons. It is necessary to take the jewelry in for repair or buy a new one.
• Over the years, spouses often gain excess weight, so the ring purchased several years ago becomes small and tight. As a result of close contact of the metal with the skin, the finger under the ring becomes wet and itchy. This is not considered a bad omen. Experts advise simply rolling out the decoration.
• If the engagement ring is large, you should make it smaller, which a jeweler will help you with. Then there will be no need to constantly fear loss. Some spouses put the jewelry on the middle finger of the same hand or hang it around their neck if it suddenly becomes too large.

Material and stones

There is an old belief that marital charms should be simple and smooth so that family life can be smooth, without problems and quarrels. The bride and groom often cannot decide which metal to choose for their jewelry. According to the signs, jewelry for a couple they must be the same: silver, gold or platinum.

In the 21st century, young people are increasingly choosing wedding jewelry with carvings, inserts made of other metals, engraving and precious stones. At the same time, the future husband and wife do not pay attention to the signs of the past. As decorative element use diamonds. Diamonds have positive energy, bringing peace and material well-being to the family.

These flawless minerals have one drawback - cost. Those couples who cannot afford expensive wedding jewelry, but want crystals, are advised to select stones according to their horoscope sign. Such jewelry will bring good luck to each spouse.

At the wedding and after it

On this important joyful day, the newlyweds are nervous. For this reason, the bride or groom may drop their wedding band on the floor during the ceremony. According to wedding signs, you cannot put jewelry on your partner’s finger by simply lifting it. To do this, witnesses prepare a white thread in advance. If the ring falls, a thread is simply passed through it to remove the negative. After such a ritual, the groom puts the jewelry on the bride’s finger, or vice versa, the bride puts it on the groom’s finger.

It is important to be careful with engagement rings after marriage. Strangers should not be allowed to touch these symbols of a happy married life; this is considered a bad omen. Newlyweds can entrust jewelry only to close friends with good intentions. In this case, lonely acquaintances will also soon find family happiness.

The ring box or pillow on which they lay during the wedding is not allowed to be touched by the newlyweds. These items will bring happiness to single men and women at a wedding, playing the same role as the bride's caught bouquet.

There are many signs associated with wedding rings.

Can I use my parents' wedding rings?

Sometimes newlyweds prefer not to spend money on new jewelry, having received them as a gift from their parents or other relatives. Wedding custom allows this, but subject to one thing important condition– jewelry should belong to those who have lived happily in love and fidelity for at least a quarter of a century. In this case, parents' rings can indeed be used to provide young people with a good family life.

If the jewelry belonged to divorced people, it will not bring happiness to the couple. Therefore, it is recommended not to save money, but to buy new ones that no one had worn before the bride and groom.

Prohibitions

There are certain rules associated with wedding amulets in the following:

• It is a bad omen for other people to try on spouses' wedding rings. This can pose a threat to the couple. People with bad intentions use other people's wedding amulets to cause damage and gain happiness by stealing it from the newlyweds.
• Not everyone knows what to do with the jewelry of widows and divorcees. In the first case, it is allowed to wear a memorial item of the beloved spouse on the ring finger of the left hand.
