Wedding. No other event in human life is not accompanied by such lavish celebrations as a wedding. And at the same time, no other celebration is not associated with so many folk omens, prejudices and superstitions. Literally every step of the bride and groom is subjected to microscopic examination to ensure that every movement of the young people did not violate ancient traditions and superstitions. Of course, all this is done for the good. After all, the wedding is not only the birth of a new family, it is also the continuation of the family. And everyone wants that the future married life was not marred by anything.
Many omens and superstitions are associated with the tradition of exchanging wedding rings. The first wedding rings were made of hemp or reeds. This rite had more of a protective function. It was believed that the weakest place on the human hand is the ring finger, through which evil forces easily and simply penetrate into a person. They bring with them destruction, sorrow, grief, misfortune. To protect the young family from the influence of evil forces, the bride and groom put rings on each other's ring finger. It is the circle or ring - the most ancient symbol, which was considered the best defense against evil spirits.
The tradition of exchanging rings during the wedding celebration has survived to this day. Only the material used to make wedding rings has changed. And in order for the union to be stronger, on the wedding rings began to make various inscriptions. These were just a few words, which by their capacity and weight gave the young union of two hearts even more firmness. These were peculiar reminders of that wonderful day, which marked the beginning of a new life.
With the advent of wedding rings, which were made of precious metals, a new art appeared: engraving on wedding rings. It is the application of text, drawing, pattern or symbol on the metal surface in a variety of ways. Recently, laser engraving has become very popular. This is a very fast and cheap way of drawing. However, it can hardly compare with hand engraving, when the master brought out beautiful monograms and patterns on the inner surface of wedding rings. It used to be quotes from the Holy Books or aphorisms of ancient philosophers, which were written in Latin. For example, "Deus Nos Iunxit" (Latin) - "God has united us", "Semper Amemus" (Latin) - "Our love will last forever", "Amor Vincit Omnia" (Latin) - "Love conquers all". Nowadays, the names of the bride and groom are most often inscribed, and the date of marriage registration is put.
However, if you order an engagement ring in the online store of wedding and engagement rings "Obruchalkin", then the masters will show imagination and offer you to put on their rings unique, memorable and unique engravings with various inscriptions, drawings, symbols, monograms, etc., etc., etc..
