Since primitive times, brides and bridegrooms have sealed their wedding vows with a symbolic exchange of rings. Once this exchange takes place the marriage begins.

The pharaohs of Egypt wore their wedding rings on the third finger of the left hand because of the 'vena amoris', a vein that they believed ran from that finger directly to the heart.

Millions of couples exchange gold bands at the wedding ceremony. The wedding rings have become the universal symbol of trust and commitment between two loving people. This simple band of gold probably uses more of the world's gold than any other single type of jewellery.

Some couples leave the decision of choosing the wedding ring until the last minute. Considering that of all the choices that are made during the planning of your wedding it pays to give yourself plenty of time.
