An engagement ring is the cherished dream of almost every girl and her parents. But this piece of jewelry not only adorns a delicate hand, but also endows its owner with magical powers and protects the home from all troubles and misfortunes.
There are many superstitions about wedding rings. All of them relate mainly to family happiness. For those who wear the attributes of marriage or are just about to wear them, it would not hurt to study folk signs about wedding rings in order to choose and use them correctly.
Signs about choosing wedding rings
Previously, it was customary to give an engagement ring to show your serious intentions to your family and bride. Separate jewelry was purchased for the wedding. Nowadays, the groom may not give a ring before the wedding. For the celebration, the newlyweds choose wedding decorations together. In this case, the following signs about wedding rings are taken into account:
- The purchase is made in a good mood in order to charge the symbols of love with positive energy.
- Both decorations are paid for in the same store, which symbolizes the newlyweds' life together.
- When choosing a smooth surface, there is a belief that it will be easier for spouses to live. Engraving and other inscriptions and reliefs will complicate life together.
Important! There is an opinion that rings with stones will affect the wealth of the family. The more valuable the jewel, the richer life will be.
If the bride or groom feels uncomfortable when putting it on, you should take a closer look at other examples. Breathing cold speaks of negative energy.
When choosing jewelry with precious stones, some people select them taking into account zodiac qualities. In this case, it is difficult to choose the same jewelry for different signs.

What should they be?
What kind of rings the newlyweds should have should be decided by themselves. When choosing suitable wedding accessories, people give away their energy. Of course, you can rely on generally accepted rules to eliminate superstition:
- Noble material - for a long life of a family and a strong union (gold, platinum, silver).
- Same material and style for both pieces.
- No sharp protruding elements – for a smooth, quiet life.
- When choosing stones, give preference to diamonds - for wealth.
If the bride and groom want different rings, it is worth paying attention to some nuance on the surface. For example, the same stone shape or width.
The newlyweds' choice of jewelry of the same shape, but with an individual twist
When the jewelry is characterized by an unusual design, for example, made in the shape of a snake or engraved with a skull or a loop, it is worth knowing about the negative energy during engagement. The use of different materials introduces dissonance into relationships.
When to buy
The main sign is that you should buy rings after receiving an official proposal from a man. Early acquisition promises a quarrel and quarrel among the young.
Many people look for jewelry after submitting an application or setting a wedding date.
Who should choose
There are no indications about the chosen wedding rings before the wedding by the bride or groom separately. For a long time, a man prepared jewelry for the moment of registering a relationship. Since the woman did not take an active part in the wedding affairs, the groom took upon himself all questions regarding outfits and the wedding.
It is a long-standing tradition that wedding jewelry should be chosen by the man.
Currently, to eliminate problems with size, young people buy accessories together. This allows you to conveniently choose a design and achieve a harmonious combination.
The main advice is that the rings should be purchased in one place and on the same day. A joint choice will unite future newlyweds.
Is it possible to accept as a gift?
It happens that relatives give jewelry to a couple to register their relationship. Their intentions are often related to saving the newlyweds’ money. It is necessary for the bride and groom to decide together whether to agree to this or refuse.
There is another belief that donated jewelry can carry the energy of other people. When purchased, they can give a negative charge or convey the imprint of their destiny. If parents or grandparents live happily, then you can accept the gift with pleasure. When relatives are unhappy or divorced, it is worth thinking about a gift. After all, this can affect life together after marriage.
Important! A generous gift from friends does not bode well, since the purity of their intentions is unknown to anyone. It is possible to use magic rituals with rings to break up the relationship between the bride and groom.
Can I wear it before the wedding?
There is a superstition about using wedding rings before legalizing a relationship. It is believed that wearing them in this situation does not make them engagement. Therefore, decoration does not become a talisman of family happiness.
To preserve the union, it is worth saving the jewelry before the ceremony so that during the wedding or official painting they remain uncharged with energy.
Wearing wedding jewelry before the wedding is not permitted.
When future newlyweds wear engagement rings purchased for engagement before the wedding, they will not be protected after marriage. Jewelry will become ordinary jewelry accessories.
Is it possible to get married with rings worn by relatives?
There is often an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, a man may suggest wearing his mother's or grandmother's ring to keep the tradition alive. In this situation, you should evaluate the importance of your chosen one’s action. He may not think about the energy of the decoration, which will be transferred to the new family.
You can please your parents or grandparents by using a ring to propose marriage (engagement). The bride will then decide for herself whether to wear it or not.
When deciding to use a gift, but first consecrate it in church, many want to remove the energy of the former owners. It is worth remembering that rituals do not help get rid of previously assigned magical power. An old item will store energy and retain the imprint of the fate of other people for a long time.
Important! It is recommended not to use other people’s wedding rings, as they will give away their energy to the newlyweds and will not become a talisman for the family.
There is a well-known sign that you can take the rings of your relatives or ancestors when they celebrated a silver or gold wedding. With this approach, decoration is considered a good amulet of family happiness.

When giving a gift from a widow, widower or divorced parent, it is worth thinking about the imprint of the fate of relatives. Using jewelry will not lead to a good life. Melting or exchanging will not affect the energy of the accessory.
Metal
When choosing one of the most significant wedding symbols, such nuances as appearance, quality, convenience, size, cost and compatibility with lifestyle and appearance are taken into account.
The metal from which the accessory is made is chosen based on the couple's tastes and budget. In addition, the likelihood of allergic reactions to certain impurities in the composition of the products is taken into account.
The classic option is gold. However, nowadays many people prefer silver rings because this metal is purer and has the title of ecclesiastical metal. It is important to remember that silver tends to turn black over time, and products made from it require special care.
White gold and platinum are popular. Metals are expensive, but this is compensated by the fact that the rings made from them are the most durable and resistant to damage and abrasion. Those who want to stand out opt for red, black, blue and rose gold.
What to do if the bride has lost her engagement ring
Loss is characterized by a bad sign. The family may be destroyed. Therefore, you should handle and wear jewelry carefully. It cannot be removed before the wedding. Afterwards you are allowed to put it in the box, but not give it to other people. It can later be passed on to children or grandchildren to strengthen family ties.
Engagement with an original proposal
Often after a wedding it is worn together with a wedding band, which is not prohibited by signs. So happiness will be in the family home for the rest of your life.
Is it possible to film?
In the old days, after the wedding, it was not customary to remove the attributes of marriage, because they are a symbol of love, a talisman against any shocks and serious illnesses. It was believed that when a person takes off his wedding ring, he and his significant other are left without protection.
But modern experts (medics and esotericists) do not recommend constantly wearing rings in order to avoid blocking the energy flow. In practice, you have to remove jewelry when performing wet work. It is recommended not to put on the wedding ring yourself - this should be done by the spouse each time. This will preserve the strength of the union.
Some women get scared when their husband doesn't wear a ring. Of course, you need to be vigilant. Suddenly a man does not want to reveal his marital status to his passion or mistress. But many representatives of the stronger sex simply do not like to wear jewelry; they are irritated by unnecessary elements on their hands.
Signs about wedding rings during a wedding
From time immemorial, there have been signs for newlyweds associated with wedding rings at the ceremony. It is well known that you cannot wear other jewelry except those prepared for the ceremony.
Other beliefs:
- Putting it on the wrong finger promises betrayal by a person who has mixed up the place.
- The fall of a ring - to troubles in family life - a cleansing ritual is possible by pulling a white thread through the ring, after which it is burned by the person who dropped it with the words “Fire, burn all my troubles and sorrows.”
- It is forbidden to put the ring on a gloved finger, since magical power is not assigned - during the ceremony it is worth exposing your hand to avoid future problems.
- A ring that is the wrong size is a bad sign for spouses.
These signs are associated with the newlyweds themselves, but there are superstitions for other people at the wedding. When touching the wedding jewelry of unmarried or unmarried people, it is believed that they will soon find a soul mate and have their own wedding.
The person who takes the box after the exchange of rings should expect their own ceremony in the future. More often, a box or pillow for storing jewelry is given to the witness.
Important! The bride should not take a box or pillow after the wedding ceremony with the exchange of rings, as this promises divorce or disagreement in the family.
Who chooses?
Choosing wedding rings is a rather difficult and very responsible task, since they become the couple’s companions for life. You should not put off this purchase; you need to think in advance how the future spouses see their rings: choose metal, classic or precious stones, the presence or absence of engraving. If lovers believe in omens, they should give preference to smooth rings.
Traditionally, the groom buys the rings. But the bride must also certainly be a participant in the choice. Not only should both people like jewelry, there are other nuances as well. For example, even the most accurate finger size can vary with different ring designs, so there is always a risk that during marriage registration the accessory will either slip off or simply cannot be put on the finger.
Losing a wedding ring is one of the worst signs for a man or a woman. It is believed that after this, either the loved one will leave the life of the owner of the item, or a serious illness will occur.
Signs about wedding rings after the wedding
After the wedding, the following signs and superstitions are known:
- You cannot give it to other people to try on to protect family happiness.
- It is worth protecting from breakage and loss - jewelry lost by a husband foreshadows betrayal, and by a wife it indicates difficulties in communicating with the spouse’s relatives. A wedding ring found in a house after loss promises prosperity. The appearance of cracks affects the strength of relationships when betrayal is possible. Scratches on the surface portend difficulties.
- If it is stolen, it is worth purchasing new jewelry and consecrating it for a magical charge.
- Pawning the family gets them into trouble.
Taking it to a pawnshop is a bad omen.
After the wedding, you should handle jewelry with care to maintain harmony and prosperity in the family.
Important! If you lose one ring, you can put a white rose in a vase with water, where you put the remaining ring. After the flower dries, its remains are placed in a secluded place and stored. This way the family will be protected from divorce.
On which finger and on which hand to wear
A young man can give a ring to a girl upon engagement depending on the size of the ring finger of his right hand. After marriage, the engagement jewelry is replaced with a wedding jewelry or they are worn together. It must be on the ring finger of the right hand.
The engagement ring should not be removed until the wedding, as it also adds strength to the relationship. In Russia, women wear it on their right hand. When the wedding ring is worn, the wife can choose another finger.
After the death of one of the spouses, the other puts the jewelry on the other hand.
In European countries, the wedding accessory is located on the ring finger of the left hand. This is due to a different religion.
In Russia, after a wedding, the ring is worn on the right hand
How often can and should you shoot?
Freeing your finger from the ring will affect frequent quarrels and the emergence of disagreements in family life. Spouses do not understand each other, they get angry over trifles. The amulet ceases to work, which affects the strength of the relationship.
It is prohibited to remove the ring for a long time unless it is due to a forced situation. Due to work environment or health reasons, it is recommended to keep the ring in a safe place so that it is not touched by other people.
When someone else takes off the jewelry, the sign speaks of the transition of family happiness and a shortening of life. The health of the spouses may deteriorate. Prosperity will leave the family.
Pregnant women often find it difficult to continue wearing jewelry due to swelling. Then the ring is put on a chain around the neck to protect the baby. During childbirth, it is removed, since the closedness of the form can affect the outcome of the process. It is forbidden to carry such items with you due to the threat to the life of the baby.

Is it allowed to rent and sell?
Taking a ring to a pawn shop or selling it is often associated with financial problems. Our ancestors, when introducing the ritual of exchanging rings at the time of marriage, considered them a symbol of long, strong love. When transferring jewelry to third parties, personal happiness may go to others. Therefore, performing any actions aimed at making a profit is excluded.
Melting down rings is also prohibited. With this procedure, they are kept by third parties who influence the strength of the decoration. It turns out that the spouses want to change their lives. And this can lead to separation or other troubles.

Is it possible to do rolling out?
Ring rolling is an increase in size when, with the help of special equipment, the metal can be stretched at the bottom of the jewelry. After ultrasonic washing and polishing, it will not be possible to see changes with the naked eye. During the process, it does not lose its shape and is made in accordance with the dimensions of the order.
With age, the number of people seeking rolling increases due to finger enlargement. If the decoration is small, it is not recommended to remove it forever due to the loss of the power of the family’s amulet. Contacting specialized workshops will allow you to change the size for long-term use.
Important! There are no bad omens known about rolling out. People decide for themselves where to give the jewelry so that they can continue to enjoy its presence on their finger.
What happens if the husband does not wear
Since wedding jewelry is one of the sacred strong amulets of family happiness, when removed, the strength of the union may be violated. A husband who does not wear a ring distances himself from his wife. As a result, quarrels become more frequent and misunderstandings arise.
With a common sense approach, in real life it happens that it is more convenient for a husband not to always wear a ring. Work or other circumstances require you to remove jewelry from your body. Therefore, refusal to wear it is normal. But if he neglects to wear it, although the surrounding conditions allow him not to take it off, it’s worth thinking about the behavior of your spouse. In each individual situation, it is worth considering the husband’s decision together with his wife.
Important! The ancient signs that a man stopped wearing a ring are unknown. In reality, the rationale for his behavior is assessed.
Why lose
Due to the sacredness of wedding rings, losing them can symbolize trouble for the family. Thoughts about an upcoming divorce or problems in your personal life appear.
To maintain relationships, you should resort to the following methods:
- Buy a new one to replace the lost jewelry - the wife or husband chooses a new ring.
- Both spouses buy rings that are lit in the church. The preserved decoration can be kept as a keepsake.
But it is worth remembering that the replacement must be justified by a compelling reason. And loss is a circumstance when it is necessary to confirm strong love for the other half.
Why can it crack?
The appearance of cracks and other defects reflects the internal situation of the family. More often this indicates infidelity. Therefore, women begin to think about the possible betrayal of their husband. In most situations, the weaker sex is looking for the cause.
Cracks promise troubles and misfortunes
To save the marriage, it is recommended to contact a specialist for repairs. When the master cannot do something, the old ring is given as a donation to a temple or church. The couple decides to purchase new jewelry.
What does it fall to?
When falling, many do not take into account folk signs. For some, the sign promises the appearance of minor troubles, for example, quarrels and misunderstandings in any situation.
If you want to protect yourself from this, you should do a small ritual:
- Do not immediately put on a fallen ring.
- Pull a white thread through it.
- The person who drops it must burn the thread.
After the actions, the ring is considered cleansed. Feel free to wear it.
What to find
When you find something, the thought appears that something of your own will be lost in life. There is no need to focus on such situations in this case. A person who has not yet gotten married, but has found a ring, should know that his wedding will definitely take place. There's just no need to pick it up.
Finding a wedding accessory is a good omen
Some people cast special spells on jewelry to disrupt a future holiday or occasion. The bride or groom does not need negative energy.
If the finder keeps the jewelry, it is necessary to consecrate it in the church to eliminate foreign influence. It should not be used as your own engagement or wedding ceremony.
Why you can’t measure someone else’s
According to ancient superstitions, giving a ring to other people to try on means transferring the energy of the family. Happiness can leave the spouses of the one who puts it on his finger. Quarrels and troubles will occur more often in families. Situations will arise when a husband and wife get angry for no reason.
The person trying it on may not exude negative energy, but the very fact of trying it on will affect the safety of the betrothal ceremony.
Showing your girlfriends a ring before the wedding is also considered bad luck.
Size
Which wedding rings to buy? Signs still do not have a primary role. The most important thing is the order of selection. Having decided on the metal, you should pay attention to the size, which is important to choose correctly.
The size of the accessory depends on the thickness of the finger:
- The diameter is measured in millimeters and varies from 15 to 23.
- The most popular men's sizes are 21-23, women's sizes are 17-18.
- There are also half sizes (18.5). They are the key to an extremely precisely selected decoration.
It is best to come to the fitting several times and do it together. Be sure to pay attention to the manufacturer (rings from well-known brands fit perfectly on your finger). The optimal time to visit a jewelry store is in the afternoon. It is worth considering the factors that affect the thickness of the finger: they swell from heat, and shrink from frost. It also makes sense to refrain from drinking large amounts of water and playing sports before trying on, as your fingers will swell.
Signs about wedding rings in case of divorce and death of a spouse
After dissolving the marriage, the former spouses must remove the symbol of the union. Previously, in such a situation, jewelry was thrown into a pond or given to a church for donation in order to divert trouble from oneself. There is no need to give or give to other people or relatives.
Upon the death of one of the spouses, the ring is placed on the other hand or removed
If one of the spouses dies, you can continue to wear it only by changing your hand. A decoration placed on the finger of the left hand will indicate the loss of a husband or wife. If the father or mother decides to give the marriage ring to the children, a transition of fate is possible. Therefore, it is advisable to carry it yourself or put it away.
Remarriage is not excluded, so the old decoration is not used due to possible circumstances:
- Repeating the fate of the family.
- Attracting trouble to the new spouse.
Newlyweds should purchase new rings and put them on the finger of their right hand.
Spell: to return your husband and love
The ritual is very similar in effect to a witchcraft love spell, so you should think carefully about how strong the desire to return your departed husband is. If you are motivated to do this only by bad feelings, such as anger, resentment, jealousy, or the desire to humiliate a competitor, it is worth considering that the power of the conspiracy can reverse everything.
A sincere desire to return all the good things, to give yourself and your ex-spouse the happiness of family life again will help you complete the ceremony successfully and reunite the relationship. But unpredictable options are possible here.
Signs about wedding rings in the case of a second marriage
When entering into a second marriage, newlyweds must put on their rings, consecrated in the church. It is prohibited to use one old and another new.
As a new family life begins, other decorations are used. Using old ones will bring trouble to the family.
When remarrying, you must wear new jewelry.
By following the traditions of choosing, wearing and storing wedding rings, future newlyweds will remain faithful and be protected from harm. Loyalty and mutual understanding often depend on the handling of jewelry. By attaching great importance to them before and after the wedding, you can strengthen the energy of the rings in order to live in a strong and happy union for many years.
Width
In order to better understand what an engagement ring should be like (we discuss the signs and selection procedure in the article), it is important to pay attention to its width. Despite the fact that massive accessories look more impressive, most often couples choose elegant jewelry. This choice is generally a matter of taste, but there are general tips:
- Wide products are suitable for people who have short, plump fingers.
- Narrow accessories with a width of no more than 6 mm look good on middle fingers.
- Those with graceful musical fingers choose either wide rings (6-7 mm thick) or very thin ones.
How to cast a ring for good luck
The spell for a ring for good luck and money is read early in the morning, before sunrise. When the first rays of sunlight appear, you should take your ring and bring it to the window so that the ray passes through it and begin to read the plot:
“Red Dawn, you get up early, you see everything. My luck has run out somewhere, it probably won’t come out of the gates. Your rays reach into the darkest corner. They passed through the ring, but they found my luck and tied it to it forever.”
Place of purchase
Lovers can choose the most worthy and convenient way of purchasing, based on the pros and cons:
- Jewelry salons. Pros: professional consulting, the opportunity to see the item live and choose what fits in size, regular bonuses and discounts. Disadvantages: large crowds of people, higher cost and time consuming.
- Online stores. Pros: price, convenient payment methods, time saving, opportunity to purchase an accessory in another city or country. Cons: dubious quality, impossible to try on, you can fall for the tricks of scammers.
- Workshops. Pros: exact sizes, custom orders. Cons: prices for exclusive products are much higher, production time and the finished result can be disappointing.
Do not forget that losing a wedding ring is the worst omen for a man. However, just like a woman. It is important to always remember to be attentive.
Recommendations
You need to take care of your purchase in advance. For people prone to allergic reactions, it is better to choose products made of platinum, titanium or silver. When completing your study of which wedding rings are best to buy and the signs about them, you should listen to a few more useful tips:
- The couple does not have to buy the same jewelry, but it is better if they are models with similar motifs.
- Style: the accessory should be suitable for both everyday wear and evening wardrobe.
- Don’t be upset if an expensive and desired piece of jewelry is not available right now. It can be purchased later, for example, for an anniversary.
- It's not worth saving either.
- The ring should be comfortable.
This is enough to know what an engagement ring should be. Signs and belief in them are a personal matter. Everyone decides for himself whether to ignore long-known signs or carefully follow each of them. Regardless of the choice of ring design, you must remember that the symbol of family, love and fidelity should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable and durable.
Some historical facts
Even before the new era, there was a rule to wear it on the ring finger. In Ancient Egypt, it was established that the thinnest nerve connects the ring finger and the heart. But it is the heart that is believed to govern all feelings, including love.
The lovers wove symbolic wedding decorations from reeds. In Rus', the groom gave the bride a straw ring before the wedding. The ancient Romans had a custom of giving a metal product to the bride's parents. In Rus', the groom's wedding ring was gold, and the bride's was silver.

What other traditions are there?
Although using your parents' jewelry at your wedding is a bad idea, you can still find a good place for your ancestors' wedding jewelry.
It is believed that for a prosperous life, the bride must wear something new (dress), something used (shoes) and something old (family heirloom). Therefore, the family decoration can be taken to the registry office as an amulet. It can either be sewn into clothes, or put in a purse, or attached to a bouquet.
On the wedding day, no other jewelry is worn on the hands. Therefore, superstitious brides prefer traditional fresh flowers rather than a bracelet bouquet.
