Technological Exceptions
While technology is banned as a whole in most Amish communities, there are some exceptions. Those living in Kalona, Iowa, founded in 1846, have some more relaxed rules about technology. They are allowed to use tractors for working the fields and gas lamp light fixtures are allowed. However, the tractors cannot be used outside of the field.

No Wedding Rings
Due to the strict dress code that all Amish must adhere to, wedding rings are not allowed, since wearing them is seen as drawing unneeded attention to the body and could even induce pride in the individual. That’s why the color of the bonnet worn by women gives an indication of their marital status instead of wearing rings.
