The Sentiments Behind The Wedding Ring

The wedding ring has signified the bond of eternity since ancient times. Being a circle, it signified the sentiments of endless, unbroken and unending love to last to eternity. In ancient times, the circle was considered to have magical powers, due to it not having a beginning and an end. The hole in the wedding ring is said to symbolize a gateway to a new and unknown future. Wedding rings have always been steeped in tradition, folklore and mythology. History credits the Egyptians with the first use of wedding rings. Since ancient times, the wedding ring has signified a legal, binding agreement between man and woman, a protection for the woman, the eternal devotion and love between man and wife. In ancient times, wedding rings were made from reed, string, leather, ivory and finally, strong, indestructible metal. The Romans used lead while other civilizations used copper and brass. Finally the noble metal gold became the metal of choice for wedding rings to show this everlasting love.
