The tradition in many Western countries is to wear an engagement ring on the fourth finger of the left hand (also known as the left ring finger).
Why the Left Ring Finger?
The practice of wearing an engagement ring on this specific finger can be traced back to the Ancient Romans.
- They believed that this finger contained a vein called the Vena Amoris, which translates to "vein of love." This vein was thought to run directly to the heart, symbolizing the romantic connection between two individuals.
Therefore, if you are following this tradition, you should wear your engagement ring on the left ring finger.
