A wedding ring or wedding band consists of a precious metal ring. In certain countries it is worn on the base of the left ring finger. In other parts of the world, it is worn on the right ring finger (see further Post-wedding customs). Traditionally, in India and those practicing Hinduism, a Toe ring or bichiya is worn instead of a ring on a finger. Such a ring symbolizes marriage: a spouse wears it to indicate a marital commitment to fidelity. The European custom of wearing such a ring has spread widely beyond Europe.
