What is so distinct when engaged or married couples wear their rings on the left hand and in the finger known as the ring finger? Actually, behind this practice is a common meaning that in the ring finger is a vein known as vena amori and which is believed to be closely connected to the heart. Based therefore on the concept of love for each other, couples usually select wedding ring designs with the heart's icon very visible in a bed of gemstones. And since the rings are representation of various levels in the relationship of a couple, these ceremonial stages are often reenacted in the form of favorite writings or words of dedication or quotations, embedded inside or outside the rings.

Oftentimes, text engraving serves as an ornament to further beautify the wedding and engagement rings. These rings are so meaningful to the wearer. Its typical placement being on the left hand between the middle and little finger, some are of the deep belief that the finger has a vein that creates direct linkup with the heart, so much so that the heart symbol makes the centerpiece of the ring.
