Wedding and engagement rings date long ago. Wearing a golden circlet after the wedding was common only after XVI century. Engraving the couple name and the date of the wedding on the rings * dates back to seventieth century. Wedding rings can be made of gold, platinum. The shapes are various, flat or round. Sizes vary: the thinnest is called “francesina”. The medium measure is the most used. The biggest wedding rings are not suited to every hand, so they must be chosen carefully.
