A tradition tracing back to as far as ancient Egypt, wedding rings are worn on the left hand, third finger due to a belief brought to custom in the Roman times. Worn along with the engagement ring and eternity ring, this special finger was believed to contain a vein that ran directly from the finger to the heart. A symbol of never-ending love between two people, wedding rings in modern times can be diamond set, gem set, fancy shapes or completely plain gold or platinum. There really is no right or wrong, so choose your wedding band to suit you and your own styles.
