Which hand is the engagement ring on

Which hand and finger do you wear an engagement ring?

June 1, 2018 by David

Now that you are about to propose to the love of your life, you want to make sure that you get the proposal right. You want to make sure that you put the ring on the right hand and on the right finger. Otherwise, the proposal might get a bit awkward.
The following suggestions are based on Western proposal and engagement practices.

Which hand does the engagement ring go on?

The engagement ring gets placed on the left hand.

Which finger is right to wear an engagement ring?

The engagement ring will be placed on the middle finger. (Next to the pinky finger)

Why do people place the engagement ring on this finger?

The tradition can be traced back to ancient Roman times as people believed that one of the veins in the fingers led straight into the heart. (Vena amoris)

What does it mean when you wear a ring on your right ring finger?

This differs by culture. Gay and lesbian couples tend to wear their rings on their right finger as a sign of being in a monogamous relationship.

Men in the Eastern Orthodox Christian church may also wear their ring on their right finger.

In some cultures, when a woman switches her rings to her right hand, it is a sign that she is a widow.

Can you put a ring on your middle finger?

You can choose to if you wish, but it isn’t a common practice.

According to traditions in India, the left hand was regarded as suspicious. So it had been common to wear an engagement ring on the third finger on the right hand. However, there are many couples that have opted to follow Western tradition and put an engagement ring on the left hand.
