Dear pleople,
I am from Chile and we use wedding ring on the left hand.
Greetings!
I deleted this sentence because I didn't know what it was supposed to mean. If this offends someone please make it more clear before you put it back in the article.
So it commonly occurs for chaste married people not to wear a wedding ring.
Removed the below... it's unencyclopedic, written in the second person, and on a page about wedding rings which no where mentions gems... only a band of metal.
Be aware of the gem`s softness before you decide on the stone. The softer the weaker. Use Mohs scale that registers the stones ability to resist abrasion
On Mohs scale 1 will be the weakest and 10 the hardest.
You should not pick gems that are softer than 7 on Mohs scale for the wedding ring.
List of the most common gems and their Mohs scale ranking:
Diamonds 10
Rubies 9
Sapphire 9
Emerald 8
Topaz 8
Aquamarine 7.5 to 8
Amethyst 7
Garnet 6.5 to 7.5
Opal 6
What about those rare Jewish betrothal rings that were shaped as a synagogue? Is that still a custom?
I've read that it was a custom for Jewish woman to wear the wedding ring on the the index finger because that was the finger with which they point to the Torah as they read. Is this true?
If you understand that Aragon or the Catalan (or catalan related languages) speaking provinces (Catalonia, Valencia and Balearic Islands) are a part of Spain, all belonging to the former Aragon Crown, they do not wear their ring in the right hand, but in the left. I am from the Valencian Country and I actually wear it on my left hand.
Manel
I am "castillian" (Madrid) and wear it on the right. I also knew of the tradition explained by my countryman Manel. So Spain should be listed on both the right and the left hands.
