Advice from psychic Mehdi: wedding ring after divorce.

Wedding rings - what role do they play in marriage?

Rings came to us from ancient times, symbolizing devotion to one person. For example, in Ancient Egypt they believed that the ring finger was directly connected to the heart. It was there that the first marriage with the exchange of rings was recorded about 5,000 years ago. In China, they believe that the fourth finger on the hand is responsible for sexuality, so it is customary to remove jewelry from it at night. In the chronicles of Ancient Rome there are references to the constant wearing of a symbol of marriage.

Since time immemorial, a ring with a closed shape has carried the glory of a magical attribute that accumulates energy. There is still a sign that you should not let someone try on your jewelry, as this will bring discord to the family. The loss of an attribute of married life symbolizes scandals, even divorce.

From a psychological point of view, we can talk with confidence about associations. It will always remind you of the person who gave it and put it on their finger and under what circumstances. One type of decoration brings back all the good and bad memories, which is why the next question arises so urgently.

On which finger do divorced women wear a ring?

Many superstitions speak of the inadmissibility of many logical actions: donate, throw away, remake. If you move away from signs and look at the problem from a psychological point of view, the situation will sparkle with new colors, because the decoration carries a load of memories: children, history, relationships, friendship, shared secrets, joint travels, discoveries, problems, quarrels.

Four universal options:

1. Melt it down into neutral jewelry and give it new meaning.
2. Take it to a pawnshop and buy another item that has nothing to do with your previous life.
3. Remove it as far away as possible so that it doesn’t catch your eye for a while. Perhaps in a year or two it will find another use.
4. Return to the person who gave it.

What should a woman do?

After a divorce, women can continue to wear the ring, but then they need to change the location and move it to the fourth finger of the left hand. Some wives give them to their ex-husbands, because they bought them. But what if he gives a ring to his new chosen one? Of course, if she believes in omens, she will refuse, since it is a symbol of failure and discord. And if not? The item accumulates the energy of the owner over time, there is no need to waste your power, it is better to leave the jewelry with yourself.

What should a man do?

What you don’t need to do is give wedding rings to other women, in which case there is every chance of remaining at the extinguished family hearth again.

Psychologists recommend destroying a thing, as this is a kind of rite of cleansing of old emotions. Alternatively, you can sell it or take it to a pawn shop.

1. If just the sight of it brings suffering, then it is better to remove it and not touch it. For example, wrap it in a scarf and take it to the pantry.
2. You cannot sell it, as it will be damaged.
3. You can’t buy someone else’s jewelry after a divorce; your life won’t work out.
4. You are allowed to wear what is inherited; it will not harm you in any way.
5. It cannot be melted down and donated. Even after remodeling, misfortune and grief can be passed on to the new owners.

It is clear from the signs that they are influenced by human grief and emotional anguish after a painful separation. In the end, everyone decides for themselves what is best to do with their wedding ring. The main thing is that peace comes to your soul, and new joys and meetings await you ahead.

If a woman, after a divorce, does not want to get married again, then, of course, this ring can be worn simply as a memory. And if a woman wants to start a new family after a divorce, then it is better not to give the ring to anyone, not to re-gift it, but simply put it somewhere so that the new chosen one does not see it and is not worried.

We must remember that this ring carries certain information related to past pages of your life. This requires respect and understanding. If a woman wants to return her ex-husband, then the ring should be worn on the ring finger of her left hand. It happens that a woman is upset by the wrong choice of a man, regrets that a strong family did not happen and gives away her wedding ring or sells it, but the man gave it as a sign of love...

let someone else give it to you. I want to ask these women: did you feel good when you received this ring? were you happy? did you give it to someone? No. And now after the divorce you say: take your ring... You are simply giving away part of your happiness along with this ring, part of your youth. And of course, I don’t understand those men who take the ring to give it again, but to another woman.

Women, well, in this case, where is your solidarity, if this ring did not bring you happiness, did not cement your union, if the ex-husband is so bad, then surely the new woman will face the same fate. Wish each other happiness, and keep what belongs to you. Don't do bad things, even if they did the same to you.

Someone will say: but this ring symbolizes the love of the ex-husband, so let him take it and deceive the other one or be happy with her. But I will say again that every thing carries information. If you've worn this ring for a long time, it contains your love. I have lived in Russia for over 20 years and have noticed the directness and toughness.

It seems that the girls are gentle, kind, but at one moment they can become like a man in a truck who is ready to run over you and roll you into asphalt. Then the question is: how are you, dear girls, at such moments different from those very bad men of yours who leave you? Girls and women are a symbol of beauty, tenderness, kindness, and maternal feelings.

And if she swears, spits on the street, behaves unworthily, how can this be tolerated? And remember forever: the reason for divorce is always on the conscience of both. If a man feels in his wife a friend, support, trust, muse, he will never leave her. I feel sorry for those men who believe that a woman should be a prostitute in bed (I have heard this more than once).

You must understand that in order for a woman to be one in bed, she must gain appropriate experience and become this very prostitute in order to show her honed skills in your bed. Men, do not make prostitutes out of your women, wives, girls, daughters, sisters. Dear women, such men do not need a wife, in this case they need a wife - a housewife, and they will look on the side for that same prostitute.

So, let's conclude about the ring: respect and keep what belongs to you, even if the ex-man is not worthy of respect.

But esotericists are categorical: you cannot wear a wedding ring after a divorce. Not on any finger.

By the way, it is on the left hand that many people wear an engagement ring: they change it there on the wedding day in order to ring both “veins of love.”

• throw away - thereby you are giving up too much of your life; detailed “holes” in fate and karma will not benefit a person in the future;
• keep it at home - otherwise, they say, you won’t find new happiness while “the holy place is occupied”: you can leave it in your parents’ house, at the dacha, in a safe deposit box, etc.;
• to give to another person - after all, at the same time you are passing on to this person a fate that was unsuccessful in this aspect.

If the breakup was too painful, and a person still decides to get rid of the ring completely, then it is recommended to throw it into the sea or river, that is, somewhere into moving water, so that the water element will carry away all the negativity and finally “drown” all the negativity of the former relationship .

A new product, especially if other metals or precious stones are added to it in the process, will no longer carry any negativity.

And only after this, the new product can be exchanged in a jewelry store or given to children - if you don’t want to wear it yourself.

People who have filed an official divorce usually remove their wedding rings. There is nothing surprising. Many people simply do not want to remember the unpleasant events that happened in their lives. But what to do when the ring is expensive and beautiful, but it’s a pity to put it away in a distant drawer?

In fact, there are a lot of options, the simplest of which is the left hand. A divorced person can safely put a wedding ring on the ring finger of the other hand. In fact, many people do this. Only those who do not want to publicly announce their divorce refuse this option.

It is worth noting that in countries where wedding rings are placed on the left hand during a wedding ceremony, they are moved to the right hand during a divorce.

As you know, women are much more emotional than men. They relate to divorce more emotionally and sensitively, and they experience the separation longer. The meaning of a wedding ring is much more important for the fair sex than for men. So which finger do divorced girls wear their ring on?

Some women do not remove the wedding ring from the ring finger of their right hand, because it is not only a memory of some events in life, but also a beautiful piece of jewelry that is a pity to put away in a box and forget about it forever. Someone does not want to demonstrate that the family could not be saved.

But some representatives of the fair sex get rid of the ring. This may be due to very unpleasant memories of a past life or unbearable suffering from a breakup.

When a symbol of love is no longer needed, a person thinks about where to put it. There are several tips on what not to do with an engagement ring.

First of all, you should know that such a personal item cannot be given to another person. The ring is a reflection of a person; it contains the energy of the owner. Together with its carrier, it experiences many not only negative, but also positive moments. By giving a ring to another person, you can give away a part of your life. What if someone else is also unlucky in marriage?

There is an opinion that you cannot sell an engagement ring in its original form. Before you can get money for a precious item, it needs to be melted down, and only then taken to a jeweler for sale.

You should not pass on rings to your children, thinking that this will bring them good luck. When getting married, a person must put on a new ring.

Opinions of people who have experienced divorce

You can come up with many options on how to get rid of bad memories and let go of the past, together with a wedding accessory. For example, you can call friends who will understand and always support. Then go outside, mentally say goodbye to the past (you can write it on a piece of paper), tie the ring to a balloon inflated with helium, and let go. These actions will help you say goodbye to both the past and the negativity, and the bad memories that torment your soul.

In fact, there are many options for such farewell to the past. You can send the ring floating, throw it off a cliff into the abyss, etc. But what to do when the ring is a wedding one? After all, a wedding is a serious church ceremony that brings people together. In this case, the ring can be taken to the church and left there for donations. Perhaps in this way it will be possible to smooth out the emotional distress due to the breakdown of a relationship “made in heaven.”

There is no official legislation on this matter. It's all about traditions, family foundations, and, ultimately, comfort for each spouse. In Russia, the customs of Orthodoxy are more widespread, and according to them, when getting married, the bride and groom put wedding rings on each other’s ring finger of their right hand.

After the wedding, it happens that one of the spouses puts the wedding ring in a home box - it is not very convenient, or expensive and valuable, the jewelry has become small or, on the contrary, flies off the finger. There is nothing terrible about this: some models, especially if they are decorated with stones, are really indecent to wear every day at work, and constantly taking off and putting on a wedding ring when doing household chores can lead to the loss of the jewelry.

Not all models will be handled by a jeweler if it is necessary to change the size of the jewelry. For many objective reasons, it is permissible to wear a wedding ring on any other finger, including if the size of the ring finger has changed. Focus only on your individual conditions, be guided by rational reasons and choose the solution that is right for you, regardless of popular wisdom, advice from friends, or centuries-old traditions.

Different countries have their own stories that have survived to our times: in the east it was believed that only the ring fingers have a connection with the heart, and Slavic beliefs claim that each finger of the hand is assigned an invisible connection with the family. The large ones symbolize our parents, the index fingers symbolize sisters, brothers, close relatives, the middle ones symbolize the person himself, the little finger is assigned the symbol of our children. And the nameless ones correspond to the spouses.

The legend that we remembered at the very beginning sounds very beautiful: they say that by folding the middle fingers, that is, ourselves, it is impossible to tear the nameless ones away from each other and the spouses, having entered into marriage, will forever remain an inseparable couple.

Do not try to repeat this trick with yogis or, for example, pianists. Many hours of daily exercise, training the strength and flexibility of fingers, fine motor skills will quickly depreciate this beautiful legend.

Of course, choosing jewelry is not complete without trying on dozens or even hundreds of rings, but if someone really wants to wear a piece of jewelry before the wedding day, do it.

See how beautiful the engagement ring looks on your hand while no one is looking, and put it back in the box before the appointed date. The pleasure of contemplating the beauty of precious stones and fine jewelry work will temporarily only come from your engagement ring: it can be worn permanently, before the wedding and after.

No bad omens, of course, will work if the couple expresses a desire to wear wedding rings before the wedding. But definitely, the wedding ceremony itself will no longer be as sublime if before the wedding the newlyweds simply take off their rings, and during the ceremony they put them on each other again. However, some are ready to put rings on each other at least every day: romance is a purely personal thing, but also an integral part of married life.

Russia is a hospitable, multinational country, and different peoples have their own traditions, which would take quite a long time to list. Here are just a few options why the wedding ring is worn on the finger of the left hand:

• It is more comfortable
• These are the traditions of Catholic, Muslim or other denomination
• The spouses belong to different nationalities and beliefs, but agreed to wear rings on their left hands
• Decoration means the person is divorced

In fact, the explanations are exactly the same as for the left hand, it all depends on habits and traditions. The only thing that can be added is that owners of wedding rings, if they are left-handed, despite all the recommendations, may well change the jewelry to their right hand, since for them the left hand is dominant. And since it performs all the actions, the ring can simply get in the way.

After divorce

First, decide for yourself whether to wear it or not to wear it. Neither secular nor religious etiquette have any rules or even recommendations on this matter, leaving the choice to the owner of the ring after the divorce.

In case you want to continue to shine with the ring - it is dear to you, despite the failed relationship, it is very beautiful, you are used to it for a million other reasons, the jewelry is worn on the other hand. That is, if at the wedding the wedding ring was worn on the right, after the divorce it is worn on the left and vice versa.

But in addition to traditions, it is worth taking into account the issue of the emotional sphere - whether others will have questions about their marital status, or whether they will have to experience awkwardness, having to explain themselves in front of a less than well-educated public. This aspect also needs to be considered before changing the position of the wedding jewelry.

Today it is very difficult to surprise someone with the shape, design or material of a ring; the choice of jewelry is fantastically huge. Public figures have only one thing left to do: compete in the cost of wedding rings, the size of the stones, the quality of their cut, and the color of the inserts, which is unusual for wedding jewelry. Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Holly Berry, Paris Hilton - they all happily show off rings with diamonds, emeralds of several carats and worth millions of dollars.

The beautiful Anna Kournikova does not lag behind Western celebrities - her ring is incredibly expensive and at the same time not typical for the Hollywood star party: an Australian pink diamond of excellent quality, purity of color, and transparency at one time conquered even the most unscrupulous paparazzi.

As a result, for celebrities, better almost always means more, and the unusualness of wedding or engagement rings most often fades into the background. The same cannot be said about the aristocracy: moderation, high style, classic design are the main priorities when choosing wedding rings for members of royal families in different countries.

Even if a girl knows or guesses in advance about the upcoming proposal to share life, love and happiness, the moment itself can cause confusion: which hand should I extend to my loved one so that he can put the long-awaited ring on his finger?

Dear ladies, and men too, don’t worry - the engagement ring can be worn on any hand, whichever is more convenient for you, despite traditions, customs, signs, advice and other information unnecessary at the time of engagement. It doesn’t matter who proposes to whom either!

But in reality, it is often your lover who proposes, and believe me, at this moment he is no less nervous than you and may well forget even a well-rehearsed script. Alternatively, he is a Catholic or came for you from Europe, America and acts according to the traditions of his country. This is where you really get confused, should you wear an engagement ring on your right or left hand? Don’t worry, the main thing is to answer yes, if you really agree to enter his life and let new family members on his side into yours.

If we talk about Russia, the ring finger of the right hand takes on all possible rings, both for engagement and wedding. But this does not mean that this unspoken rule must be followed unconditionally. Many brides leave the engagement ring on their right hand after the wedding, and wear the engagement ring on their left.

Some people are happy to show off with both jewelry on one hand on different fingers, while others are more comfortable wearing the wedding ring separately, and in this case the engagement ring goes into the family jewelry box until a better opportunity. Do what’s most convenient for you and don’t worry about signs: bad ones don’t work, but good ones are nice to believe in.

After the wedding

Of course, the prize for the most popular way to wear a wedding ring along with an engagement ring goes to the ring finger, no matter which hand. How to combine, whether it is worth doing, and how beautiful both rings look together on one finger depends on the design of the jewelry. As a rule, there are no problems with combinations with the classic style; you can allow yourself any options, depending on your mood or, for example, the wardrobe you have chosen for the day.

Beautiful, non-standard shapes of rings also allow you to experiment with ways of wearing them: together, separately, on fingers next to each other or on different hands.

Sets with a design in which one ring follows the curve of the other invariably attract attention: as a rule, the main part in this case is performed as an engagement ring, and the wedding ring is an addition to it, although in Russia this trend, due to a misunderstanding, is not so widespread. This is very beautiful - nesting (nested) ring, thanks to American celebrities, is incredibly popular among Western newlyweds.

If you have already relaxed and decided that the issue with the rings is finally resolved - sorry, no. In addition to purity, engagement and the wedding itself, there is also a wedding tradition in Orthodoxy. And yes, in this case you will have to stock up on another set, and not a simple one, but a wedding one, which will be worn in the same way as an engagement ring - on the ring finger of the right hand.

What else to do with an engagement ring

If a woman nevertheless decides to remove the ring after the divorce process, then it is worth considering the following options:

1. The ring can be taken to a pawnshop. Of course, this is not the best option, but it can help you out some money.
2. The ring can be returned to your ex-spouse. This option is suitable if the jewelry was given specifically to them.
3. The jewelry can be melted down, thereby getting rid of bad, unpleasant memories and getting a new beautiful piece of jewelry.
4. Put the symbol of past love in the box and hide it away, so to speak, out of sight, out of mind.
5. In the end, you can throw away the ring, but this is absolutely not necessary.

Where to put your engagement ring after a divorce

There are many ways to help ex-spouses get rid of unnecessary memories that are brought up by wedding rings. Which option is more preferable is something everyone decides for themselves.

Throw away or re-gift

Divorce is almost always accompanied by a large number of differently charged emotions. And if people break up on a very bad note, then they often want to somehow harm their ex.

At the same time, most often, men and women, wanting to “prick” the other more painfully, demonstratively throw away this attribute of family life in front of his eyes. Of course, this is not the most thoughtful solution, but it has a right to exist.

A calmer and more sensible way to get rid of an engagement ring is to give it to friends or girlfriends.

Give it to a pawnshop

Since such rings are most often made of gold, they are valuable not only from a sublime, spiritual point of view.

After all, if you take this piece of jewelry to a pawnshop, you can get good “compensation” for a difficult, emotionally exhausting divorce process.

Melt down into another product

A gold wedding ring can give “life” to a new product, which will further emphasize a person’s desire for freedom, or become the personification of his true inner qualities.

Give to your ex-spouse

If two persons who have made a mutual decision to separate respect each other, then the return of the attribute of family life to the original owner will be perceived positively by them.

Such a step will be especially appreciated if the ring is made of gold or platinum and inlaid with precious stones.

Leave it in a jewelry box as a keepsake

Not all divorces have a negative impact on the internal state of the former spouses. After all, sometimes such a decision is made mutually.

And in this case, it is not recommended to immediately get rid of the rings, because they may well become “keepers” of good, tender and bright memories.

The meaning of a wedding ring

Before determining which finger the wedding ring is worn on and why such a tradition has developed, it is worth understanding the meaning of the ring itself. Only married men are required to wear such a ring on a certain finger, and if it breaks, they change its position. The main function of a wedding ring is to demonstrate the man’s marital status. Initially, such a symbolic decoration was made in the form of a thin strip of gold.

Today, jewelry has made great strides forward, offering several options for wedding rings:

1. A smooth, thin ring in a classic design . Most often, such rings are preferred by couples who are 100% confident in the strength of the union and the ring itself is not such an important sign of their love. Families in this case are durable and strong, even despite the routine and some boredom in relationships over the years.
2. A smooth ring with no frills, but wide and massive . Such rings can symbolize certain doubts about the strength of feelings and loyalty of partners, and a massive ring acts as additional protection for a future marriage.
3. Ring with notches, engraving and additional decorations . In this case, partners strive to maintain a vibrant, passionate relationship; the choice indicates a fear of boredom and a desire to add ardor. If one family member has such a ring, and another has a simple or standard one, marriages are often unstable.

Psychology claims that by the shape of the ring one can predict the state of the relationship between future spouses and what awaits them ahead. These interesting patterns regarding the choice of wedding rings proved that the shape of the ring and the relationship between partners are interconnected.

If one of the spouses chooses not to wear a ring, most often this symbolizes a desire to attract attention from others. If a man avoids marriage, then he does not want to feel the “pressure” of responsibility. Women, on the contrary, use a ring to demonstrate to society their family wealth.

Signs and beliefs about wedding rings and divorce

Many psychics are against getting rid of a wedding accessory after a divorce. They don't talk about which hand the divorced person wears the ring on. Psychics advise wearing jewelry only when a person no longer plans to get married.

If a divorced woman still plans to improve her personal life in the future, then she should not wear a ring. Old negative energy will interfere with building new happy relationships. An old wedding accessory should be put in a far corner and forgotten about. You cannot throw it away, because with it you can lose part of your life.

The opinion of astrologers is in some ways similar to the opinion of psychics. Astrologers also do not talk about where divorced people wear their rings. Their opinion is as follows: the ring must be disposed of immediately after the divorce process. After all, in fact, the ring becomes an old unnecessary thing, and the accumulation of such objects in one’s home accumulates negative energy and attracts troubles and misfortunes to a person. According to astrologers, you need to make a new beautiful decoration from an old wedding accessory and sell it.

What should a man do?

Is it possible to wear an engagement ring before marriage?

It is not customary in society to wear a wedding ring on a finger until the marriage is officially registered. There is a sign - if you put rings on before marriage, it will not be strong, the couple will conflict with each other and will soon divorce. However, these are all legends.

First of all, the betrothal sign is a symbol of love and fidelity to one’s other half, which is why many men and women begin to wear it even before marriage. In addition, the presence of such an attribute helps to “weed out” unnecessary attention from the outside.

Men and women who have lived together for a long time, but do not register their marriage for certain reasons, also often wear similar jewelry and consider each other spouses.

What psychologists say

Many women facing divorce often seek psychological help from specialists. The question often arises about which finger to wear a ring on for divorced women. The opinion of psychologists on this matter is ambiguous. It all depends on the internal state of the fair sex.

Psychologists advise some women to leave the ring. Then on which finger should the ring be worn apart? It doesn't really matter if the divorced person isn't bothered by thoughts about the previous marriage.

In cases where divorce is painful for a woman, there are three ways to part with her engagement ring:

1. Remove the ring after making the final decision, thereby securing it.
2. Remove the ring after the divorce process is completed. In this case, you can come home from court and put the wedding accessory away.
3. You can also remove the ring after the end of your life together with your spouse. After all, there are many cases when people live together after an official divorce. This option is right for them.

Traditions of different pages and religions

The most important word here is traditions: not laws, not strict regulations, not clear recommendations or guidelines. Traditions are an expression of habits, customs that have developed over centuries and nothing more. To accept them or not is the voluntary choice of each person.

Notice how great the differences are between the characteristics of wearing wedding rings among many nations, but family happiness is, on average, the same for everyone. Some wear rings on their right hand, others wear jewelry on their left, middle or ring finger, index or even little finger. Many couples do not pay any attention to which finger the ring is worn on: the middle finger is more comfortable for the husband, the ring finger for the wife, but it is unlikely that this difference affects the feelings and relationships in the couple.

In Russia

If we take into account the traditions that have developed since ancient times, then in our country the wedding ceremony instructs the bride and groom to put wedding rings on the ring fingers of their right hand. This custom can be explained quite rationally: our Slavic ancestors crossed themselves with their right hand, used it to do all the housework, pay for purchases, take many household items, and also gave alms.

The right hand was considered life-giving, dominant - a wedding ring was placed on its ring finger. It is worth noting that engagement rings were not common in Russia for a long time, although in the Middle Ages some semblance of such a tradition still existed. The groom expressed his intentions to marry precisely by gifts to his future wife and members of her family.

In the USA and Europe

American traditions are completely opposite to Russian ones: both the engagement and the wedding ring are placed on the left hand of the future wife. This is where geography and the customs of different religions come into play. In the United States, most believers adhere to the Catholic denomination, where it is customary to wear rings on the left hand.

But with European countries everything is not so simple. Brides and grooms in the western part, as in the United States, do not hesitate to extend their left hand on their wedding day, while the eastern part, although not all, for the most part, like Russians, wear wedding rings on their right hand. And such a trifle does not at all separate loving hearts from different countries.

Of course, if we analyze the traditions in detail, by country, some confusion will arise: for example, Spanish couples, Polish or Norwegian right-handed couples, while France or England, Ireland, Slovenia and a number of others prescribe wearing rings on the left hand. By the way, even with little sunny Spain, misunderstandings can arise - proud Catalonia, long before its separation from the Spanish state, always wore wedding rings on its right hand. But who can stop such details if love and family happiness are at stake!

Muslims

Nowadays, this whole complex system has more or less come to a single result, and Muslims, like the majority of those getting married around the world, more often wear wedding rings on their ring fingers. Right or left hand - depends on the country of residence. There is, however, a nuance: men wearing gold, to put it mildly, is not recommended, so silver, platinum, a non-standard shape of a wedding ring and many other tricks are used.

Jews make up the largest part of the adherents of this denomination, and it is also impossible to say that there is a single rite of marriage here. It all depends on how strong the faith of those entering into marriage is, whether the bride and groom follow the canons of the Torah (the holy book of the Jews), and whether they want to live in respect for the traditions of their parents, ancestors, and the nation as a whole.

For secular youth, the wearing of rings by husband and wife is not prohibited; the style of jewelry, hand and fingers are chosen at the request of the future spouses. But for God-fearing young people, honoring the traditions and prescriptions of the Torah is sacred: wearing a ring for a man is inappropriate. Therefore, during the ceremony of initiation into a wife, the ring is worn only by the bride, and on the index finger of the left hand (in Jerusalem - on the middle one).

It is characteristic that the decoration is on this finger only until the end of the ceremony, and then the young wife puts it on and subsequently wears it on any one convenient for her. It is easy to come to the conclusion that most women prefer the nameless one that is already familiar to everyone, just like a man who decides to follow secular traditions. The choice of hand does not matter.

Married men

Orthodox men who marry in Russia traditionally place a symbol of love and fidelity on the ring finger of their right hand. Although the left hand is closer to the heart, Orthodox married men consider the right hand to be the “correct” one.

There are no rules governing the wearing of a wedding ring, but generally Russian men try to adhere to established traditions and not particularly oppose them.

Folk wisdom

What to do if you don’t want to part with your jewelry, and on which finger should divorced women wear the ring?

Rituals have long been known that can cleanse things from negativity and evil. One of these rituals is the cleansing of wedding rings.

The ring should be placed in a glass of salt water and left there for several hours. After which you need to dry it either in the sun or in the moonlight. Let the decoration be filled with something new and bright. To complete the ritual, you can take the ring to church and stand with it during the service. After completing all the steps, you can safely put on your favorite jewelry and not be afraid of negative energy.

If you do not want to carry out any rituals yourself, then you can turn to knowledgeable people for help. Psychics, magicians, bioenergetics, witches, sorcerers - all these people can easily solve this problem. After all, the ritual of cleansing a thing is simple; it does not carry with it any consequences.

Wedding rings are a very sacred attribute; you need to treat them carefully. After a divorce, many people think about the fate of gold jewelry. Some calmly continue to wear the ring as if nothing had happened. Others wear the jewelry on the ring finger of the left hand. Still others take it off altogether and try to get rid of a wedding accessory that reminds them of bad, difficult and unpleasant events.

There are many ways to get rid of an old accessory, which are described above. Still, before doing anything with a wedding accessory, you need to think about it. The question of which finger divorced women wear a ring on is not of interest to everyone. Many people simply get rid of the memorabilia.

Where do divorced men wear rings?

I may be wrong, but divorced people should just take off their wedding rings. Ideally, the ex-wife should return the engagement ring to her ex-husband. In Orthodox countries, widows wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand.

Which finger should I wear my engagement ring on? In the general idea of ​​an engagement, one can highlight those aspects of it that are often repeated, for example, in the culture of the Southern Hemisphere and in the North of the world, during an engagement, a ring is put on the finger on which the wedding ring will be worn during the wedding, namely, we are talking about ring finger of the left hand.

In the West, it is customary to return the ring to the spouse, but we do not have such a tradition. The ring remains, and given that it is still a gold piece of jewelry, it continues to be worn.

Although, of course, the ring itself was invented in an unknown place, most likely everywhere at the same time. And very often it was not a decoration, but a kind of identification mark. In this meaning, rings are mentioned, for example, in the Indian epic of the 11th century.

Purity Ring

If you are not yet completely confused about engagement rings, wedding rings, traditions, fingers and hands, here is another idea for you - how to diversify your life before marriage with the help of rings. The jewelry, as a symbol of purity, is worn by a couple who wish to get married, but at the same time observe the tradition of abstaining from sex until the wedding ceremony.

Unlike wedding and engagement rings, the purity ring has its own symbolism; in Russia these are Christian prayers transferred to the outside or inside of the jewelry. Western options are also associated with the Christian faith, but are framed in the traditions of a particular denomination. In other countries, the purity ring is also called the daughter's oath to the father.
