Finger With Engagement Ring
In many Western countries, the engagement ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand (the ring finger), a custom dating back to ancient Roman times. The ancient Romans believed that the blood vessels of this finger could lead directly to the heart, and it was named Vena Amoris, which means "vein of love". Since emotions come from the heart, the ring finger is considered the best place to wear an engagement ring.
Finger With Wedding Ring
The way of wearing wedding rings is not fixed. Usually, we can see from different wedding forms that the wearing of wedding rings in Western-style weddings and Chinese-style weddings is different. Many Western-style weddings are mostly worn internationally. At the wedding, both the groom and the bride will wear the wedding ring on each other's left ring finger, which is the position of the engagement ring. Before the wedding, the engagement ring is turned to the right hand so that it can be worn on the left hand, which is connected to the heart. After the wedding, the couple put the engagement ring on the wedding ring. In Chinese weddings, there are differences between men and women. Men wear the left hand and women wear the right hand. This is influenced by the traditional Chinese custom of men on the left and women on the right.
