Since ancient times, people have provided explanations for various objects, events and phenomena of life. If their knowledge was not enough to understand the phenomena taking place, they resorted to mystical interpretations. This is how signs, superstitions and traditions appeared. People observed life and paid attention to certain consequences. Depending on whether the consequence was good or bad, corresponding signs were formed.
In our article we will talk about the meaning of the ring and the signs associated with it. This will be especially interesting for newlyweds who have started a family. After all, one of the symbols of marriage is wedding rings; they are assigned an important role in the life of every family.
Important! Many signs do not have any scientific proof of their existence and the accuracy of the described consequences, so a lot depends on whether a person believes in them or not.
Which fingers should you not wear rings on?
There are various superstitions and traditions in the arrangement of rings on the fingers.Particular attention should be paid to wedding rings, since they have a special meaning and the largest number of traditions and signs are associated with them. In the standard position, spouses wear them on the ring fingers of the right or left hand (depending on the country and religious beliefs).
But there are certain signs that do not recommend or prohibit wearing rings on certain fingers. If you are interested in this topic, we recommend reading the list of signs below:
- The most strict rule is the prohibition of wearing rings on the ring finger of the left hand before entering into legal marriage with your other half. This can attract negative energy and bring disaster to the upcoming wedding, since rings are usually worn on the left ring finger by widowed women.
- It is also not recommended to wear jewelry on the little finger and middle finger, since they are located close to the ring finger; this will not lead to problems in marriage and at the wedding, but can cause health problems.
- It is also not recommended to put the wedding ring on its rightful place before the wedding - the ring finger of the right hand. Engagement jewelry should be used before marriage. This will preserve warm energy and create ideal conditions for creating a future family.
Do not forget about the choice of material, decorative inserts and shape. Wedding rings should match and complement the look. At the same time, you should not select large rings with protruding stones; modest classics are better suited here. Don't forget to choose the size so that the jewelry does not cause discomfort when worn.
Important! Other jewelry and decorative rings are also not recommended to be worn on the fingers, which were discussed above.But a decorative product does not carry any special meaning, so you should rely on your preferences when choosing.
