Focus Ring On A Camera: The wedding ring of the Romans was a signet ring and conveyed the meaning that it was the wife's right to seal up the property of the household; it sometimes had a small key attached. It was placed on the fourth finger in early Roman days; the index finger was regarded by the J ews as the hallowed finger and bore the marriage ring; in the days of Queen Elizabeth I of England the ring, after betrothal, was worn on the thumb. The betrothal ring in Britain became the wedding ring about the time of the Reformation.
