The ring is the most emotional ornament. Antique rings may have a unique meaning. For example, some are seals of clergy, some are representatives of royal prestige and power, some are used to confirm marriage contracts, some are used to commemorate the dead, and some rings are even engraved with runes that only the wearer or the giver can understand.
There was no such ring in ancient times, because men in ancient times could have three wives and four concubines. If they really marry one at a time, tomato producers think that men should have a lot of rings on their hands, and at that time, equality between men and women was not so important, so naturally there would be nothing to symbolize eternal love.
It is said that the earliest wedding ring appeared in the ruins of ancient Egypt 6000 years ago, because the Egyptians thought that "ring" symbolized eternity, including what we are saying now, the wedding ring must be worn on the left hand, because the blood of the left hand is directly connected with the heart. This statement was also created by the ancient Egyptians, but at that time, it was still worn by one person, not two.
With the development of the times and the equality between men and women, some western concepts were introduced into China, and the rings worn by two people gradually came into being. This should be because western countries hold weddings in churches and exchange rudimentary rings during the ceremony. According to records, rings first appeared in19-20th century, when they were first popular in Britain.

At that time, only the West had this treasure of jewelry, which had not really been introduced to China. Duijie was introduced to China from the west, but it was in the late Qing Dynasty that China really saw Duijie. Moreover, it is impossible for ancient people to pay much attention to these novel things, because what was introduced into China from the west in ancient times will only spread in the palace.
True duality began in19th century, and gradually developed in modern times. In the past, there was no ring at all. In the past, rings were worn by monarchs and nobles.
/kloc-before the 0/5th century, only kings wore jewelry, and the wedding rings of wealthy families were inlaid with chip stones. It was not until the fifteenth century that the diamond ring became a part of the wedding ceremony after the naked wedding ring became the representative of faithful marriage life. Regarding the origin of the wedding ring, China said: In ancient times, when the monarch was lucky enough to have a concubine, he gave her a silver ring as a voucher, and when she gave birth, she changed it into a gold ring. After that, ordinary families also used the ring as evidence of their marriage life, which gradually evolved into a wedding ring.
In fact, there are wedding rings besides diamond rings in antique rings. However, due to the long history, it is difficult to keep a pair of rings together, so most of the time you see a single ring.
