Wedding rings, those exquisite bands of precious metal, symbolise a momentous occasion – the union of two souls. Worn for centuries as a token of commitment and eternal love, these timeless circles hold immense significance. Ottery Jewellery, a leading Australian jeweller, explores the history, traditions, and symbolism behind wedding rings, guiding you towards finding the perfect token for your happily ever after.
A Tradition Rooted in History: The Origins of Wedding Rings
The tradition of exchanging wedding rings can be traced back to ancient civilisations. Egyptians believed circles represented eternity, while Romans used rings made of iron or bronze to signify a financial contract. Over time, the symbolism evolved, and by the Middle Ages, wedding rings crafted from precious metals became a symbol of love and fidelity.
A Circle of Love: The Symbolism of Wedding Rings
The simple circle of a wedding ring embodies profound meaning:
- Eternity: The unbroken circle represents everlasting love and commitment, a bond that transcends time.
- Fidelity: Wearing a wedding ring serves as a public declaration of devotion and faithfulness to one's partner.
- Unity: Two separate rings become one, symbolising the joining of two lives and the creation of a new family unit.
- Strength: The enduring nature of the precious metal reflects the strength and resilience of love.
