The wedding ring is one of the most ancient of all of the marriage traditions. It began with the Egyptian civilization. The earliest rings were made of braided grass, hay, leather, bone and ivory. Fine metals had not been discovered at this time. Today, wedding rings range from inexpensive plan bands to intricate settings studded with fine gems.
