通常為純金或其他貴重金屬所打造，於結婚典禮中由新郎替新娘戴上，新娘自此便帶著該戒指，以示已婚的身分。根據當代西方的慣例，該戒指是戴在新娘左手無名指上，而新娘也照著同樣程序，將婚戒戴在新郎手上，新郎此後便一直戴著。新娘的結婚戒指可以但不一定在結婚後與訂婚戒指結合在一起。

修女律戒

英文....

Rings, usually of plain gold or another precious metal, placed by the bridegroom on the finger of the bride as part of the marriage ceremony, and worn by her ever after to signify her marital status. In contemporary Western practice, the ring is placed on the third finger of the bride's left hand, and such a ring is similarly presented by the bride to the bridegroom, and worn afterwards by him. A bride's wedding ring may be, but is not necessarily, conjuncted with an engagement ring after the marriage.
