The wedding ring is your partner for lifetime and there are several choices to make in choosing the material for your wedding ring.
A wedding ring is the partner of your lifetime, therefore you should always choose your wedding ring according to your taste, and it should be such so that you can wear it all the time for your whole life. The custom of the exchange of the ring is a traditional one. According to the historians this custom of the exchange of the wedding rings during the time of wedding dates back to the ancient Egyptian civilization. The custom which started in the deserts of Africa gradually spread throughout the world and in the present day context in almost every country and in almost all the cultures this is a common custom that the bride and the groom exchange their wedding ring at the time of their wedding. As the tradition came across the ages there came several changes in the tradition. But still the basic concept remains the same. It is believed that with the exchange of the wedding ring the souls of the couple are united with each other. Therefore, the wedding is considered as the event of the union of the two souls. However, there are several myths and beliefs associated with the custom of the exchange of the wedding rings.

One of such belief regarding the custom of the wedding ring is that it is believed that the wedding ring should be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. And even a logic is presented in the support of this belief. It is believed that there is a nerve on that very finger which grows from the left hand ring finger and goes straight to the heart and therefore wearing the wedding ring on that very finger means keeping your beloved closest to your heart. However, this is logic does not have any factual base as according to the medical science and the scientific view point there is no existence of any such vein and therefore the belief is also baseless. But that does not stop men from wearing the ring on the ring finger of the left hand. There is rather a different logic which can be presented in this respect. And the logic is that it is better to wear the ring on the left hand ring finger as the this is the finger of our both hands which is the least used. And therefore wearing the wedding ring on that finger means that the ring would be much safer there. There is less chance of the ring or the precious stone in it getting damaged. Thus most of the people prefer to wear their wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand. This is a better idea of keeping the ring is safer condition.

There are several materials by which the wedding ring can be made. As in the most common cases the gold is the most favored choice for the metal for the wedding ring but other than that there are other metals also like platinum and titanium. Even the white gold rings are quite favorite these days.
