戒指的戴法及其意義

今天找到一篇短文, 講說戒指的戴法及其意義, 刻名字是culture嗎? 我有聽說過可是之前不知道呢….. “戴在左手食指上, 表示未婚, 想結婚; 戴在中指上, 表示已在戀愛之中; 戴在無名指上, 表示已訂婚或結婚了; 戴在小指上, 表示自己是獨身的. 在外國, 結婚戒指不能用合金製造, 必須用純金、白金或銀製成, 表示愛情是純潔的. 雙方的姓名, 一定要刻在戒指上, 因為這是永久性紀念, 表示白頭到老. 至於右手, 在傳統上也有一個手指帶戒指時是有意義的, 那就是無名指. 據說帶在這裡, 表示具有修女的心性.” 我只知道帶戒指很多時候是fashion, 沒什麼意義…. 結婚的時候就變得有意義… 可是連已婚的人都不一定24小時帶著戒指呢….. 結婚戒指不能用合金的話, 那訂婚戒指可以嗎? 我同事那隻很sparkly很漂亮呢~ 另外又有認識的人懷孕了 (好像沒啥關聯)….. 感覺自己真的開始變”大人”了….. 小時候覺得二十幾歲很老, 現在覺得自己還是有點像個小孩, 不過開始進入大人的階段了….. 果然沒錯阿….. 畢業後開始上班是人生的真正的開始!! ~”~[ READ MORE ]
