1. The wedding ring: universal symbol of union
A wedding band is a circular, usually simple, ring worn on the left ring finger after marriage. It symbolizes eternal love and mutual commitment. In Morocco, it can be made of yellow, white, rose, or platinum gold, and is sometimes lightly decorated.
2. The wedding ring: a broader term
In Moroccan culture, the term “wedding ring” can refer to:
- A simple alliance
- A ring set with stones, often given during the ceremony
- A more elaborate model, inspired by traditional Moroccan jewelry
3. Difference in style and usage
The wedding band is often understated and worn daily. The more sophisticated wedding ring can be reserved for special occasions, or complemented by a simpler wedding band for everyday wear.
4. Moroccan tradition
In some Moroccan families, the bride receives both a decorated wedding ring and a simple wedding band. The former is a ceremonial piece of jewelry, the latter a lasting symbol of the union.
