Wedding rings are rightfully considered the most mysterious and mystical pieces of jewelry. They serve as talismans and symbols of fidelity between two loving hearts. This is why rings should be chosen with the heart and relying on your own feelings. And superstitions will help you with this challenging matter.

Choosing Rings

• The jewelry must be chosen together, but the groom must be the one to pay for them. The purchase should be kept in a dark place, in a red box. This way you’ll ward off evil spirits.
• Rings should be chosen with a good mood in the first half of the day.
• To avoid repeating the fate of previous owners, rings must be new. They cannot be regifted or lent to others to wear.
• Rings should not have cracks or damage. Otherwise, your entire life will be like that.

When You Come to the Registry Office

Here comes the most exciting and long-awaited moment. The groom puts the ring on the bride’s finger, and… it falls. Well, such things happen. You shouldn’t be frightened by this, as nerves and fatigue can simply take over. But, if you believe in superstitions, this is a bad sign that foretells infidelity. If this happens, say: “What’s mine won’t leave me and love will protect us.”

If unmarried girls or single men touch the newlyweds’ rings, it means they’ll soon be having their own wedding.

If it goes on with difficulty – the first year will be tough for the newlyweds.

There should be no other rings on the hand except the wedding ring.

How to Store Rings After the Wedding

Our ancestors never removed their wedding rings, but wore them with honor and dignity. If you frequently remove the jewelry – there will be quarrels in the family.
If they’re stolen – you need to buy new ones and definitely have them blessed in church.
You cannot sell them – you’ll lose happiness.
Never perform rituals with the ring (for example, fortune telling). An innocent endeavor can cost dearly.

Second Marriage

In the 21st century, people don’t always get married just once and for life. Incompatible personalities, relationship problems, infidelity – there can be many reasons. If the marriage isn’t the first one, you should pay more careful attention to the jewelry on your finger.

If a couple has filed for divorce, both wife and husband should remove the symbol of love. You cannot marry a second time with them.
To avoid remembering your ex-husband/wife, the wedding ring should be placed in a box with other jewelry.
You cannot wear a ring with an engraving about the wedding day after divorce.
