Abstract
The term ‘wedding ring’ is commonly used to describe the rings given by either or both the bride and groom during marital ceremony. The significance of wedding rings may differ in accordance to the people’s culture, history, and religion. Particularly among the Malays, there is no specific design or characteristic of a ring to portray their marital status. Unlike the westerners, wedding bands are most commonly used as wedding rings, which have a diagnostic characteristic, a matching pair for both bride and groom and systematically used on the left ring finger indicating its significance to portray one’s marital status. From this observation, we can see that wedding rings have been successfully recognized as a communication object to portray one’s marital status within the western society. However, it is not exclusive only to the western people. The idea of wedding rings is common among Christians of different races. In Malaysia, we can see there is an arising acceptance of the idea of wedding rings as a communication object to portray one’s marital status. This happens through the assimilations of wedding cultures among the multireligious/racial society in Malaysia. The openness of the Malays towards assimilation however is limited by the socially acceptable margin of good and bad. This research aims to discover the effectiveness of wedding rings as a communication object to portray marital status in the Malay society. The result will contribute in determining the designs of wedding rings that will be in demand in the Malaysian jewellery market and thus will enhance our local market by reaching to the target market. The method of research will be a descriptive research, and what to observe is the current Malay wedding culture and also the effectiveness of wedding rings as a communication object to portray one’s marital status. For this, the researcher will conduct a survey to gather information from the samples of target population.
