Giving each other rings as a sign of commitment and marriage was already a tradition in classical antiquity. In ancient Rome, however, it was usually only the woman who wore such a ring - the man went out without this visible sign. In the earliest times, wedding rings were usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Even the ancient Egyptians and Romans believed that a vein, the so-called vena amoris, the vein of love, led directly from this finger to the heart. While many Western countries still adhere to this custom today, in Germany, Central Europe and Scandinavia it is customary to wear the wedding ring on the right hand: possibly so that the ring is openly visible to the other person when greeting them. The shape of the rings often changed. Rings in the shape of two hands placed one inside the other are known, sometimes made of gold, but also of iron. In addition to simple band rings, there are also richly studded pieces of jewelry - depending on financial means, the wedding ring was also used to express one's status. Today, it is usually a simple, understated gold band that is chosen as a sign of marriage. This pair of antique wedding rings in warm, slightly reddish gold is also simple and luxurious. The rings are engraved on the inside with the initials of the couple and the date of their wedding on January 6, 1943. The pair has been preserved in its antique case and is ready to seal the bond for life anew. Our goldsmith will be happy to resize and polish the rings for you free of charge, should you wish.
