What does wearing a black wedding ring signify?

In the UK a black ring is usually chosen for its look rather than for any official meaning. Many couples pick a dark band to match a modern outfit, to stand out from classic gold or silver, or to represent a personal idea such as resilience. Some people use a black ring to mark a second marriage or to show membership in a particular community, but these are personal decisions, not legal requirements. If you are considering a black ring for a religious ceremony, check with your place of worship, as traditions vary. There is no rule that a black ring changes the legal status of the marriage, and the registrar will record the marriage regardless of the ring's colour.
