Weddings and wedding rings

There is perhaps no greater symbol and expression of love, than with the perfect set of his and her wedding rings. To make wedding rings, jewelers most commonly use a precious yellow alloy of gold, hardened with copper, tin and bismuth. Traditions include the surviving spouse continuing to wear their own wedding ring after their partner's death; but on the ring finger of the other hand; removing their wedding ring at their partner's funeral; and taking charge of, and wearing, their dead partner's ring.



Wedding rings, continuous with no beginning and no end, symbolized eternal love to the Romans and Egyptians who used precious stones as well as silver and gold and were carried on a cushion.
