There is hardly a girl or woman in the world who does not experience inner trepidation on the eve of marriage. Even if this is not the first wedding, there is something special about this moment that does not leave even hardened cynics indifferent.
One of the main questions that newlyweds have on the eve of the celebration is whether it is possible to wear a wedding ring before the wedding. The temptation, especially for girls, is oh so great - you just want to tell the world about your future status. Let your girlfriends be jealous, and your parents finally stop asking when you’ll get married!
Guys are usually not particularly eager to wear their wedding rings before the wedding: they are happy to spend their last free days. They don’t need to demonstrate their “ringed” status to the whole world: friends are unlikely to die of envy, and driving away attractive girls with the presence of an “engagement ring” is not at all in a man’s nature.
However, new brides often wear wedding rings before marriage and insist that their chosen ones do the same. This is highly discouraged: the traditions of ancestors have a special sacred meaning and should not be violated.
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.

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.
Myth or reality
We figured out why you can't wear wedding rings before the wedding. Signs and beliefs do not allow every person to relax. This is especially true for women. They are the ones who listen to different beliefs, without even knowing whether it is a myth or reality.
In fact, according to psychologists, what happens is exactly what a person believes. If you think that omens are a myth, then they definitely won’t affect you. However, there are girls who firmly believe in them. They believe that trouble will definitely come if they don’t listen to something. Then all kinds of troubles happen to such girls.
The human subconscious is a great force. It attracts both negativity and positivity. Therefore, if you want to live long, happily and be one, then set yourself up only for positive emotions. Your future depends on you.
Wedding signs for the bride are varied. They talk not only about trouble, but also about joy. How can one believe that if an unmarried girl washes with her hands and soaks her hem, her husband will be an alcoholic? Or what does a girl’s insomnia say about an eccentric child? Therefore, you should not religiously believe in all signs. Undoubtedly, there are real beliefs, but in fact there are very few of them. So sometimes you need to listen to them.
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.
What can you wear before your wedding?
Before marriage, as a rule, women and men are still young. And young girls should wear light, elegant rings. You should not decorate thin, delicate fingers with huge stones or elaborate precious rings.
From the point of view of the same esotericists, you should not interfere with nature “sculpting” the character of your personality. You should not thoughtlessly strengthen or weaken with the help of rings something that is just being formed.
In addition, massive jewelry looks too ridiculous on thin fingers. Everything has its time, don’t rush your age.
And there is a huge plus in the absence of precious metals and stones. You can choose cheap but extraordinary jewelry for every dress, for every occasion. This will show not so much the state of the parents’ wallet, but the taste of the owner of the jewelry herself.
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.
Knives, forks, towels, and bedding are not given as gifts for a wedding.
The information that has come down to us from ancient times clearly defines the list of items that cannot be given as a gift for a wedding. These are primarily knives, forks and other piercing and cutting objects. All of them initially carry the energy of aggression and, received as a gift, fill the newly formed family with it.
For a wedding, it is also not recommended to present a watch that “steals” time, counting down the hours and minutes of life together, which, according to the sign, will last exactly as long as the gift will last.
Spouses must choose and buy bedding themselves - their intimate life will directly depend on this. Previously, all this was part of the bride's dowry, which she wove and sewed, putting positive energy into things. The same goes for towels and handkerchiefs. Giving them for a wedding, according to old beliefs, means dooming the young to sadness and tears.
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.
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.
On which fingers are rings usually worn?
The article examines all fingers, and one can say both good and bad about each finger. In other words, if a person lacks some qualities, a ring placed on the right finger will help strengthen this quality in character. If everything is in order with this quality, then overdoing is undesirable.
For example, above was an example of how the character of a timid person changes after decorating the index finger. That is, for timid, shy people, decorations are welcome here. But a dictator, an unconditional leader, a man of power, should not wear this - why nurture his lust for power?
The same can be said about other fingers. Before you decorate your hand with a ring or a ring, look at what qualities in yourself you will strengthen and what can await you.
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.
Bottom line
According to established tradition, newlyweds exchange wedding symbols for the first time during the official registration of their family.
For them, this is a joyful and welcome moment, regardless of what kind of wedding ceremony they chose - a solemn one with a large number of invited guests or an ordinary one with witnesses.
By putting on the rings ahead of time, the couple deprives themselves of a very touching moment. If the relationship in a civil marriage does not work out, then the fact of violation of the signs will become another reason for worry. But in any case, the final choice is yours to make. We wish you a lifetime of happy marriage!
