結婚戒指,自從佩戴在左手無名指的那一刻起,便成為了永恆不變的承諾,象徵戀人間情感升華,進入一生的婚姻關係。然而,為何選擇將戒指戴在左手無名指,而非其他手指呢?

結婚戒指:無名指的情感聯繫

天地萬物皆有其因,由歷史追溯而來,古代羅馬人深信心臟是人體的情感核心,主宰愛與情緒,他們認為左手的無名指上擁有一條名為「愛情之脈」(Vena amoris)的血管,據說這條血管直接通往心臟。因此,將結婚戒指佩戴在左手無名指便寓意將愛人放置於心中,承載着對彼此的深厚情感。

若從心理學的角度來看,將戒指戴在無名指的人,往往性格較為隨和,對於生活中的得失也顯得不那麼在意,顯示出他們婚後對待感情的平和態度。

結婚戒指:圓環的象徵

結婚戒指的設計特色之處在於其圓環之狀,這是一種沒有起點也沒有終結的形狀,代表永恆的愛與忠誠。這份持久的情感,恰恰反映出愛情與婚姻的本質。結婚對戒的歷史可追溯至9世紀,據說教皇尼古拉一世曾為他的妻子選購了一枚戒指,視為「結婚的證明」。到了13世紀,歐洲貴族開始普遍將對戒作為婚姻的象徵,隨後漸漸普及至民間,成為結婚儀式中不可或缺的一部分。

結婚戒指:佩戴左手無名指的實用考量

從理性角度分析,全球約90%的人習慣使用右手,而在10隻手指中,左手的無名指是使用頻率最低的,這使戒指在日常生活中不易受到磨損。誠言,佩戴在無名指上的戒指能減少變形風險,亦提供更舒適的佩戴感。

戒指的浪漫語言

在國際通用的「戒指語言」中,佩戴戒指的位置具有獨特的象徵意義。左手通常代表婚姻,而右手則象徵愛情。具體來說,左手的食指表示「未婚」,中指則是「已訂婚」,無名指代表「結婚」,而尾指則暗示「不打算結婚」。轉至右手,食指顯示「單身」,中指代表「有對象」,無名指則為「熱戀中」,尾指則暗示「不想談戀愛」。
