Wedding bands are rings exchanged by couples during their wedding ceremony as a symbol of their love and commitment. Typically made from precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum, these bands can be simple or adorned with gemstones. They are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, known as the "ring finger," which is believed to have a vein that connects directly to the heart. The tradition of exchanging wedding bands dates back thousands of years, with roots in ancient cultures such as the Egyptians and Romans. Today, many couples choose to personalize their wedding bands with engravings or unique designs, making them a meaningful representation of their relationship.
