First, wedding rings were made from reed or hemp fibers, and after they began to be made from metals.
The ancient Slavs wore this vow of allegiance on the index finger, later adopting the tradition of Europeans to wear a wedding ring on the ring finger. This tradition has a solid ground. As the ancient Egyptian anatomists found out, as a result of the autopsy, the thin nerve of the ring finger stretches straight to the heart. Therefore, most nations wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
Initially, couples wore double wedding rings. This was due to the peculiarity of the rite of marriage. Before the wedding, an engagement was held, in which lovers exchanged rings.
