The Wedding Ring is the most famous and instantly recognizable symbol of the (hopefully perpetual) joining of a man and a woman as husband and wife in the institution of marriage. 

 

The ring has the shape of a circle because for the Egyptians and many other cultures, it was the symbol of eternity: no beginning and no end, endless like just time is.

In the past they used to wear it on the third finger of the left hand, because of a belief: it was thought that the vein of that finger directly travelled from the heart. This legend, adopted by the Greeks, has passed down to the Romans, who called it the ‘vena amoris’, which is Latin for ‘the vein of love’
