It represents everlasting love. There are many beliefs about the origin of the ring. The most common of these is that the fourth finger of the hand was chosen as the "ring finger" because it was believed that a vein in that digit was in direct communication with the heart. Primitive man wove a cord and bound it round the waist of the woman he loved. He believed her spirit thus entereed his body and she was bound to him forever.
