From Scott Kay's Sparta Collection, avaiable at Roman Jewelers 5,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians were exchanging wedding rings. They believed that the vein in the fourth finger lead directly to the heart, thus making a perfectly romantic place for a wedding ring. The tradition was passed down from generation to generation, from culture to culture, to the extent that what once was known as the “forth finger,” is now widely known as the “ring finger.” Lovers around the world still feel the romantic connection of the wedding band’s location on the ring finger as a direct artery to the heart.

Start by browsing for ideas online or download a jewelry app to your phone, such as the one from Simon G Jewelry. This app includes a “Try it On!” feature which allows you to upload a picture of your hand to see how different ring styles will look on your finger.  A window-shopping session at your local jewelry store will give you a hands-on experience that will really help you narrow down your search to discover exactly what you like.
